Step into a relaxing atomsphere at Minne-GetAway: Suburban Retreat. The warm spa-like color palette envelopes you in calm as you walk through the home. Three bedrooms with a sofa bed in the lower level family room, custom tiled bath, and 2 person jacuzzi tub. We have designed this home to be a stylish and enjoyable home away from home with great amenities like a brand new kitchen fully stocked for meals, 3 Smart TVs, and a lower level recreational room complete with pool table and built-in bar.

The space
Minne-GetAway: Suburban Retreat is a 4 level split style home with a pleasing main floor that contains the front living room, a foyer, an informal dining area that leads to the deck and backyard, and an open concept kitchen with brand new cabinets, quartz countertops, fixtures and all new black stainless steel appliances that lead to the attached 2 car garage. It's about 6-7 steps that lead upstairs to 3 bedrooms on one level with a fully remodeled bathroom which includes new fixtures.

The kitchen is fully stocked with silverware, cups, mugs, plate ware for up to 8 people, pots, pans, knives, cutting boards, and cooking utensils as well as some bake ware. We also supply simple amenities like salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and cooking oil.

We can't decide which bedroom we love more! The Heron bedroom with its twin scalloped lamps, Foster Sterns pillow top mattress overlooking two large heron paintings, the Modern bedroom with it's arresting abstract painting and large flat screen Smart TV, or the Blue bedroom with it's oriental carpet and desk workstation. You'll have to draw straws on who gets what room!

All 3 bedrooms have queen beds with stylish accents, 4 fluffy pillows, a quilt coverlet along with an extra quilt for anyone who prefers a toasty night sleep, a laundry basket & it's own waste basket. The upstairs bathroom features basic amenities for the weary traveler like hair ties, cotton pads for makeup removal, and Q-tips for your use as well as soft fluffy towels for each guest. We supply a family size shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in case you forgot your own.

Another 6-7 steps from the main level lead you to the laundry room on the right where washer, dryer, laundry soap, and fabric softener sheets are available for your use. To the left is the cozy family room with features a 70" Smart TV and sofa sleeper bed. There's a wood burning fireplace and a wood plank dry bar that can double as a work space or board game table.
