Disliked: Communication
It wasn’t located in a very convenient location. For those who are looking for absolute quiet it’s great. Did like how there is a twin bed in with the queen bed depending on people sleeping arrangements we weren’t happy about it. Definitely not fond of how they charge according to the number of people that are there so, it’s a a different price for a couple but more expensive to bring then family for the same amount of space.

Quick, comfy stay

We stayed one night as we were touring the area. We brought coffee to make in the morning, and enjoyed the birds in the yard. We drove 30 min to get a lovely breakfast at a local diner. There were lovely perks from the host and it would be a great place for crafters.

One night stay

We enjoyed the quaint atmosphere of the house. We couldn’t get the tv’s to work. We played a dvd upstairs but the tv remote needed batteries so couldn’t adjust the volume. Bring your groceries because the nearest store is 20 minutes away and it’s limited. Otherwise a very nice place to stay, very homey.

Wonderful getaway spot!

Perfect spot for a girls getaway. Close enough to area sights but in a peaceful country setting. Everything we might have needed and beyond was provided. The place was clean, the beds were comfortable and the porch was our favorite spot! We all said we would definately stay here again.

Charming house in SE MN

We had a quick and comfortable stay in The Hen House. We aren't crafters but it would be a great set up for a crafting group get away. The beds were comfortable, the house super clean, the kitchen big and stocked with equipment, and communication with the owner could not have been better. There is a cute firepit out back that we didn't have a chance to use due to rain but the setting is among lovely farm land. We would stay again.
