Gideon's
Retreat
was
one
of
the
most
comfortable
and
well
appointed
homes
I've
ever
stayed
in.
My
3
college
friends
and
I
(next
year
is
our
50th
reunion)
so
enjoyed
the
furnishings,
how
well
the
home
had
been
cared
for
and
renovated,
and
honestly,
we
all
felt
at
home.
The
kitchen
was
perfect
for
the
private
chef
we
hired
-
she
enjoyed
cooking
there
as
much
as
we
enjoyed
her
meal.
There
was
every
kind
of
pot/pan/utensil
we
could
have
ever
needed.
The
6
burner
gas
stove
was
a
joy
to
use.
Walking
to
downtown
Excelsior
was
easy.
The
proximity
to
the
lake
was
great
and
while
we
didn't
use
the
kayaks,
it
would
have
been
easy.
We
were
there
during
a
particularly
warm
week
so
we
didn't
use
the
sauna
-
but
wow
-
it
was
so
nice.
The
instructions
told
us
the
basement
was
cooler
-
and
it
was
-
but
that
worked
out
great
for
the
one
member
of
our
party
who
is
"hot"
all
the
time!
It
would
have
been
nice
to
have
a
bathroom
in
the
basement
and
a
mirror
down
there
-
but
those
were
minor
things.
Having
the
laundry
available
(basement
and
2nd
floor)
made
packing
light
easy!
Everyone
loved
the
primary
bedroom
with
it's
large
bathroom
and
storage
closet.
The
other
main
bathroom
upstairs
was
perfect
with
its
double
sink
and
vanity.
The
other
bedrooms
were
cozy
and
spacious
at
the
same
time.
Honestly,
it's
a
beautiful
home
and
we
really
enjoyed
being
there.
Three
of
us
were
from
out
of
state
and
we'd
come
back
again.
The
MN
friend
is
already
booking
another
stay!
Thanks
so
much
for
a
wonderful
week
in
your
gorgeous
home.
