Wonderful trip to Lanesboro

Our family stayed in the Lanesboro House and had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for our family and dog. So close to biking, tubing, brewery, restaurants, etc. We all decided that we would like to come back next year.

The location is amazing! Less than a block from kayaking/tubing and bike rental places. The place was immaculate and beautiful with everything you need! We had a wonderful time with our family: biking, kayaking, sitting by the fire, watching movies, playing board games, eating out and cooking a meal in a well stocked kitchens. The beds were super comfortable and the showers excellent. Everything was wonderful!

Best location in Lanesboro

You can’t beat this central location in downtown Lanesboro. Walking distance to absolutely everything. Spacious house with several beautiful outdoor seating arrangements. Private parking spaces in back or public spaces in front & across the street from the house made parking convenient. Very updated & modern interior finishes & appliances….and comfy beds too. Hosts Jim & Jill were very communicative. If we ever visit Lanesboro again, we’d book a stay here for sure.

Lanesboro VRBO

We love our many vacations to Lanesboro and have stayed at several VRBOs, however, this place was amazing! Perfect place for a large family or 3 or 4 couples to enjoy. The kitchen is fully stocked with high end appliances. We loved the outdoor spaces as well for a fire or dining. Location to the Main Street is a bonus. I highly recommend this home and look forward to coming back!

Great home with perfect group gathering and private spaces. It is well conceived. The one down side is that my wife is encouraging some remodeling to mimic the lodging.

Awesome house!

The house was awesome and very well stocked with everything we needed (kitchen supplies, bath towels, etc.). Firepit and outdoor dining area very nice as well. Hosts super easy to work with, prompt responses. House was clean and beds very comfortable. 4th bedroom isn't ideal for adults as the beds are shorter but a couple in our group are short so it worked. Will definitely stay here again if we're in the area!!

Lanesboro House is perfect!!!

We visited Lanesboro for biking on the Root River State Trail, and kayaking. Our sty at Lanesboro House (there were 4 of us) could not have been better!! It was immaculately clean, very well provisioned, especially the gorgeous, gourmet kitchen!!! The setting is very quaint with a fire ring in the back for those chilly nights, a lovely dining area, and lower level indoor parking for our e-bikes!!! It was all perfect, and we’ll be back!!!

Lovely spring weekend

The Lanesboro House was exceptionally clean and comfortable for our family. The kitchen had all of the brand new utensils we needed to cook and grill. We enjoyed the patio and also the large dining room table for board games. The house was steps from the Root River Trail where we recorded numerous species for the worldwide bird count. Many birds were also seen in the yard due to the stocked bird feeders. The owners even had additional supplies for restocking. Just down the street, we attended a superb performance at the Commonweal Theatre. What a wonderful weekend in Lanesboro.
