Perfect Family Get-together
Adult siblings joined together with spouses to reconnect and go to a 105 birthday celebration in Stewartville. We hiked and gathered at the bungalow to reconnect since we all lived in different states, it was a perfect place to stay. We loved the nature and all the wildlife that visited. Thank you. It is a very nice environment and place to relax and reconnect. Absolutely perfect for us.

Bliss at the Bungalow
Barb’s Bungalow is an absolutely charming property! We stayed for a pre-wedding ladies retreat and couldn’t be happier. We had plenty of space to spread out our yoga mats in front of the wood burning fireplace. The game room upstairs was perfect for relaxing with our books, and we very much enjoyed walking the trails on the property. We can’t wait to come back for another adventure in the future!

What a lovely home and gorgeous location! Even though we had some bitterly cold days, we loved hiking all the trails along the river with our Golden Retreiver. It was so quiet and peaceful. Snow was even removed promptly. This is a place we would love to return to!

Cozy!!
We had a wonderful stay at the bungalow. Everything was just as described, and we couldn’t have been more comfortable. Everyone enjoyed the trails and having time together in the cozy cabin, playing darts, and sitting and talking by the fire. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to get away from a busy life and just relax in the beautiful wooded cottage.

Great stay
Our 2nd time here, enjoyed it very much and I'm sure we'll be back again as its one of the few rentals that allow dogs within a 30 mile radius of my in-laws. We especially love the trails and playing darts with our teenager. As many reviews mention, kitchen is well stocked, I brought the ingredients but had everything I needed to make a batch of Christmas cookies, including a hand mixer and cooling rack. Do note not every size measuring spoon or cup was there (i.e. several 1/2 cups but no 1 cup) but plenty to work with!

Friends Weekend
The property was even better than the pictures. An open front porch has been added. The house was clean and roomy. It was a nice meeting place for friends. The yard was secluded yet there were neighbors. The property had several walking trails through the property which we loved. The host was very responsive and easy to work with. We enjoyed our stay.
