Our stay at York Farm was the perfect restorative escape from hectic city life. The Well House was clean, comfortable, and inviting. Irene & her family were wonderful hosts, genuinely kind and warm, and made us feel instantly at home. The farm itself is serene and picturesque, and the fruit grown there is phenomenal. My only regret was only staying for one night!

I wanted a quick trip to the country and saw the York Farm on Airbnb and booked as soon as I had the chance. Got way more than I bargained for and had a great time walking the farm and getting a break from the city. Irene and Andy were friendly and accommodating. I would compare the experience with camping but without roughing it. I woke up just before dawn and heard great horned owls in the distance. Then I spotted an owl sitting on a fence post. It was the first time I saw one in the wild and awake. It was a peaceful time and I felt I got to recharge my batteries before the end of summer.

My husband and I stayed at the York Farm the day after our wedding as a short getaway. It was the perfect place! Irene and Andy were extremely generous and fun. We enjoyed resting as the breeze blew through the Well House's screen door. The apple cider given to us was incredible, the hammocks were great, and the pigs were friendly!

Andy and Irene were amazing hosts! We had a unique, relaxing weekend at their beautiful farm. Andy showed us around and answered all of our questions and was super knowledgeable and accommodating. Irene made us delicious food from the farm and we even got to make pizzas in their wood fire stove outside! There are pigs and fruit and a scenic pond to swim in. You'll love your stay, I would recommend to everyone! ☺️

We had a great time staying at the organic fruit farm and in the Well House. Irene was great at communicating before the trip and both she and her husband, Andy, were great hosts. They gave us a tour of the farm where we learned about organic farming and got to taste a lot of yummy fruit! The well house was comfortable and clean. They also invited us in their home for a lovely breakfast. It was a great treat to be on this farm. I truly felt on vacation while sitting in the hammock eating their fruit! Thanks Irene and Andy!

I can't speak for the overnight experience because I only stayed for the day, but the day sure was nice. (I viewed the living space and bathroom shower space. Both were clean and bright and I would stay there. No odor in the outhouse. It does not feel at all like one. Also, the farm is close to the center of town, in case you need a fix of something.) Some of the highlights of my day: I helped pick apples, visited the pigs, swam in the pool, pet the dog, met some nice visitors, and had a farm fresh meal. The hosts are really cool people - I have no doubt that people will catch onto this place soon.

The wellhouse was so cute and we really enjoyed seeing the organic farm! I recommend staying at York Farm if you are in the area for an event or a vacation.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a quiet place to escape the cities for the weekend-and this ended up being the perfect place! The well house was comfortable and the perfect size. The farm was huge and our hosts gave us freedom to roam the land as we pleased. We were able to walk the farm, visit the pigs, go swimming, and we learned a lot about organic farming. Overall this was a wonderful relaxing trip and would rate this a great place to stay, whether you're passing through or just wanting to escape. The hosts were incredibly hospitable and friendly and we hope to return very soon!

Congenial, helpful hosts!

Will come back next time I'm in town! What a great place to crash for the night. Friendly family and a nice private room to myself. Make sure you get introduced to Thor :) he is the best!

Carey was easy to communicate with, quick to respond and friendly. Great to see an offering in Willmar and SW MN where there are few. Very nice tree lined streets and easily accessible to all kinds of things a few blocks away; also easy to find as Willmar is on a grid.

This was a wonderful stay and our hosts were great!

Carey's place was great! Carey herself was very communicative and attentive and wanted to make sure my stay was the best it could be. She provided everything I needed, from dishes to laundry soap. The suite was very well equipped, and exactly as advertised. I would gladly stay here again.

Talk about bang for the buck, this place was huge: a large bedroom, a kitchenette, a huge main room, a private bathroom. Everything was clean and neat and Carey and her family were very friendly and accommodating.

Communication was fantastic, flexibility with our arrival and departure time was greatly appreciated (we didn't get in until almost mid-night and left by 630 a.m.), owners are nice. Space is huge and the couch is very comfortable to sleep on. While you get the entire basement space, you do have to walk through owners house to get to basement and there is not a door to the basement so is open to rest of house.

Really nice people who go above and beyond to make you feel at home, with free wifi and Netflix ready to go when you walk in the door.

Simple, peaceful farmstay. Hosts were accommodating and tried to make our stay a pleasant one.

We did feel welcome. Description was accurate. Enjoyed our stay.

Aimee and Andy were excellent hosts and made me feel right at home. It was lovely location with local lakes to swim in near by and an inexpensive nicely maintained golf course.

I had a very nice stay. Aimee and Andy were very sweet and they made sure that I had everything I needed.

This was a wonderful place to stay for one reason: the people. The owners of the house were extremely hospitable, generous with their time and resources, and pretty awesome to talk with.

A wonderful time in a beautiful place with great people. I felt more like their long-time friend than merely someone passing through. I stayed for almost two weeks while working on a prairie restoration project with the USGS. I felt comfortable, at peace, and at home the whole time. Who wouldn't want to say on an amazing organic farm? Right down the street from town and a great swimming spot!

This was a wonderful place for our large group -- six couples, a toddler and a baby--with plenty of room for quiet, alone time and excellent seating options for family dinners. Had everything we needed and more!

Great fishing lake. Awesome view. Great decks and fire pit. Well equipped kitchen. Newly remodeled and very clean. Supposed to able to drive boat under road to Lake Washington, but it was too shallow for us. Plenty of room to ski on Stella anyway.

Place was absolutely awesome! Well appointed and beautiful view of Lake Stella. Host was kind and took care of everything we needed in a very timely manner.

We are currently staying in Mindy's apartment and it is definitely a home-away-from-home. The space is open and furnished with everything you need plus some. You do need to be able to get up and down stairs easily. The apt is right above a coffee roasting co that has great blends and The Sweet Depot where you must try a caramel roll! Across is the movie theatre and many other shops and central park. There is a wonderful park with beach and fishing 5 mins down the road. We are really enjoying our stay and the town. Mindy is so sweet and very accommodating. We highly recommend her place!

My wife and I along with our son, daughter, both of their spouses and our two grand kids plus grand dog Harley recently spent a week vacation at Lake Washington. The cabin was clean, roomy with all amenities as described and made our group of eight feel right at home. We enjoyed shoreline lake cruises on the pontoon boat, fishing, swimming and use of the paddle boats and kayaks. The grand kids loved the bunk house and making smores at bonfires in the evenings. Jill is an exceptional host!

Jill was great and the accommodations were very nice. We will be planning a trip back to Darwin in the future.

My friends and I were blown away by Jill's hospitality. From the moment we met her on the property, we felt like welcomed guests in her home. She was always just a phone call away and more than happy to help us out with any problems or needs that came up. We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location or a better host. We will definitely be back!

Jill's place was great! Everything needed was provided and we had enough space for 4 adults, 5 kids (all under 4)! She provided paper plates, cups, napkins, towels and that was needed for a stress free week! The boats provided were super useful and the kids loved fishing right from the dock, in the paddle boats and seeing lots of sunfish and little bass. Can't say enough how much fun it was to stay here and only a short drive from the cities.

Jill was an incredible host. She was very hospitable to us, easy going and it was evident she simply wanted to do whatever she could to ensure that we enjoyed our stay there. She was great to work with. The cabin itself was also well laid out and had everything we needed to have a wonderful time on the lake.

What a wonderful stay!!! The cabin had everything you could want/need! It was very nice and quiet! We had a wonderful time using the pontoon, kayaks, and paddleboat. It was perfect. Jill made it even better, she was quick to respond to any questions and was the host with the most! She dropped off little pastries on my mom's birthday which was really sweet (pun intended)! They were delicious and everywhere we went in town- people knew Jill! We felt very well taken care of and everyone had a wonderful time. We are already talking about making this an annual trip!

Such a beautiful cabin on the lake! The cabin fit me and 10 of my friends for a group reunion this past weekend. From the kayaks, the bonfire pit, to the bunkhouse, this cabin had it all! One of our friends even caught a fish when he went out kayaking! The cabin is so homey too, we felt like we were at one of our own cabins! Whether we were enjoying the sun on the dock, or grilling burgers on the deck, we were having an awesome time. We would recommend this cabin to anyone and everyone!

Jill is a truly gracious host who goes above and beyond in every way with clear intent for you to be a guest in her property rather than a "renter". I've rented many properties in the past; and Swisher's Sweet Retreat is by far the best in terms of (1) Jill's thoughtfulness about everything you need in the home to be comfortable and have fun and (2) communication and accessibility. We were visiting for a wedding and our only regret is we didn't get to spend more time on lovely lake in the pontoon and just enjoying the beautiful view! Highly recommended!

Wonderful home on Green Lake. My family stayed a week and we were very comfortable. Everything we needed plus! Close to Spicer for shopping and resturants. I jogged up to the public beach and back every morning. We had a great time.

This is a wonderful place to stay on the lake! It's a beautiful house with great views of the lake and nice and roomy for a family. We had a blast and it is close to all the hot spots in town. Especially liked the history of the Caylor family in the photographs around the house - very neat!! It is a gorgeous place.

Wonderful house! Beautiful view of the lake! We went with two little ones and it was pretty kid friendly! Would stay again if we went back to the area!

Her place is convenient to the bike trail, restaurants, shopping. She is the hostess with the mostess. The rental unit is quiet, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. You will love your stay.

This place was awesome! There was everything you ever needed. Access to a hot tub, lake front, and a bottle of wine in the fridge. Suzanne was an awesome host, doing everything possible to accommodate any need!

This apartment is equipped with everything you need for a very comfortable stay. Great location in walking distance to the water and restaurants. Sue is a great host and staying at her apartment enhanced our trip to MN to visit family. Very clean and extremely comfortable, would definitely recommend this and plan to stay again next time we are in town!

This well apportioned, beautifully designed apartment was just what I had hoped for...and more. Suzanne's welcome is warm, her location above the lake is stunning, and my experience staying there could not have been better for this trip. My only regret was that my time was so short. For a top notch rental, it would be hard to beat Suzanne's restful retreat.

Suzanne's place was phenomenal. She was extremely hospitable and went above and beyond to make my girlfriend and I extremely comfortable. Anything you could think of, she already had taken care of. From the bottle of wine to homemade yogurt in the fridge, it was a great! For sure will look to come back and stay again.

Well we got onto AirBB looking for a last minute lake side room and we found the Spicer Castle in Spicer. We started with a 300 dollar small house. We ended up in an unattached room for 100 dollars less and it was spectacular. Christopher's room if you want to know. The setting is gorgeous it has a small little beach and the lake is wonderful. The food and the service were too for a small bed and breakfast. Breakfast is included and it's really delicious. They have a wonderful murder mystery game where people go just for that. We didn't do it but everyone had a blast. We had the best time and if you are looking for a quaint quiet beautiful place to stay for a couple of notes that's a retreat from everything and everyone you need to go here. It's awesome! Thanks Mary

Very clean and cozy cabin. Eric was close if we needed anything and responsive to any questions we had prior to our stay.

The house was clean, comfortable, and roomy. Nice and private, in an excellent setting off of Lake Washington. Eric was very accommodating and easy to work with. The lower level walk-out was particularly nice.

We had a great time celebrating my birthday with all our friends. Brought two boats along. Place isn't on the water but the dock is across the street for the house. Left our boats in the water. Washington lake is nice. Eric was very nice and stays on the property during the visit across the road. It was nice to have the hot tub. The up stairs is nice and has a nice loft.

Gorgeous windows, clean,very private outdoor hot tub, comfortable beds, amazing outdoor tables for socializing. Great place to stay!

Eric is a very good host. His communication was great alway able to answer any questions we had. The cabin is far more then we expected. We loved this place so much we booked it again for the fall. We had 7 people and could easily of found space for more. He had everything you could possibly need in the cabin. It was clean and comfortable and beautiful. I'm really glad we found this place.

We had an incredible weekend in this beautiful home! The hot tub, grill, lake view and fireplace made for a cozy and celebratory birthday weekend. Eric was kind, responsive and flexible. Would highly recommend staying here. We will definitely be back.

The host was friendly and available by or on site phone which was nice. We enjoyed the stay and would recommend it to others.

Eric answered all our questions immediately and was close by to help with anything we needed. Beautiful home.
