Book en suite på Belltower, en historisk kirke bygget i 1912!

The property itself was amazing, plenty of room for our size of group and the type of celebration we were having.However, we were only given 2 washcloths for 8 people and one bathroom is not nearly enough.The property was booked to host a graduation party. We were told 2 days in advance of a major construction project in front of the property. What we weren’t told about was the difficulty to access the property due to the construction. The construction was so extensive that we had to carry all of our supplies and personal items through the construction site. Not to mention our guests had to do the same!We were told to park at the water tower or park next door. What we weren’t told was that we had to drive 2 miles out of town and on a gravel road to get to the park. We drove around for 20 minutes and finally had to ask a local how to get to the park. After we found the park, we decided to go back because the park was then another hike to haul our belongings to the property. We had two disabled grandparents who had to maneuver the construction site as well.Had I been aware of all this sooner I would have rebooked somewhere else.

Host was responsive and accommodating initially. BUT several issues developed during our stay. 1. Difficulty accessing the property due to road work. Literally took 45 minutes to figure out how to get there because of it.2. Upon arrival… noted roach bait delivery at the door… should have been a red flag.3. Inaccurate listing description indicating we had 2 bathrooms but only had one and the loft is separate from the main suite, requiring passage through the common foyer to come to the main suite to use the bathroom in the night. 4. Loft area has 2 sleeping areas with total of 3 beds but you have to cross through one sleeping area to get to the next. 5. We began to notice little bugs in the sink didn’t realize at the time it was baby roaches and we just flushed them down the drain.6. By Early Sunday morning we discovered that there were cockroaches living in the cord hole of the coffee maker and kept coming out when we made coffee (probably because it got hot) and I smashed at least half dozen with my slipper. 7. Sunday was also our departure day and host refused to right the wrong because we didn’t make the complaint during our stay (which is false)8. I hope an exterminator was called for this issue & nobody else has had or will have to deal with what we went through **we were very excited for a fun weekend of crafting with cousins as we do 2x per year and hoped this would be our new gathering place as it’s the perfect location. Unfortunately, that will not be the case

We enjoyed our stay at Bell Towers. I appreciated the thoughtful details such as having q-tips and cotton balls in a container in the bathroom and several fans available for use in the rooms. The place is well decorated and feels comfortable. We were visiting family in Mankato and Waseca. Bell towers is well placed between both cities making our commute to each city easy. We will definitely plan to stay here the next time we visit.

I can’t say enough about this beautiful and unique place to stay. Plenty of room, all amenities, everything you need!!Highly recommended!!! 5 stars!!

Know that the layout is a bit odd being an old church. Fabulous place with high quality furnishings and decor. Clean, great beds, all that is as good as it gets. Just know the layout. You enter a shared lobby from outside, then two door go to each suite or stairs go up to another shared lobby that has doors to the lofts for each suite (the loft bedroom has a lock) But to get to loft you go thru these shared lobby's. There are no restrooms in loft, so for middle of the night nature call you have to travel thru the shared lobbies, completely outside of your private space. And you have no idea if the other suite renters locked the exterior door to the lobby. If You rent both sides and have complete control of that exterior door this is not an issue.Also, the two bedrooms on ground floor inside your own suite are joined. You pass thru bedroom 1 to get to bedroom 2. Again, for families no big deal, but unrelated couples might find that weird.We loved it for family with adult male children.
