Evolve manages the listing and was fine, this review is really for for the hosts and property which both were outstanding and more than one could ask for. Cindy and Mike were exceptional, starting w/fresh cookies and keepsake fiber basket to prepping a bike and helmet for me to use. So easy to communicate with if/when I had questions. The property is lovely, clean, homey and comfortable with pretty much anything you might need for a short or long stay (I was there 4 weeks). It's in a beautiful neighborhood close to downtown WBL (5 min drive) with all its shops, restaurants, and White Bear Lake, itself. It's .3miles to another small lake and trail. If I wasn't moving to the area, I would stay here over and over. Thank you so much, C& M!!

I traveled to MN with my family for a weekend. The apartment was located in a very peaceful and beautiful neighborhood. Our hostess Cindy was super kind, thoughtful and responsive. She even had welcome gifts prepared for us. That melted my heart! The apartment itself was very clean, exactly like in the photos. My kids loved Bunk beds, they played in the backyard. In the kitchen everything works, spices, teas, coffee, snacks were already available. I would give 10 stars if I could. If you are looking for a place to stay Cindy's place is what you want.

We stayed at Mike and Cindy’s in November with our two small kids and it was perfect. We were worried about the size and us all being squished but the space was set up absolutely perfectly with no issues. The kitchen had everything we needed, grocery was a quick trip. And THE HOUSE WAS SO CENTRALLY LOCATED TO EVERYTHING. Easy trip from the airport, easy trip to MoA. Mike and Cindy answered everything we needed immediately, and the welcome book for the house included everything else we needed. The use of the backyard and fire pit was beautiful. We will absolutely stay again. Believe it or not, it was the easiest trip we’ve done yet with small kids.
