Location: Minneapolis, Metro, Minnesota, USA (12 miles from downtown Minneapolis, 10 miles from airport)
Accommodations: Townhome, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 2-4)
Keywords: Townhouse
This "close-in" townhome in Eden Prairie is on the end of a very quiet cul-de-sac, right up against a wonderful "northwoods" setting. You feel like you are well away from the world.
Yet within 5 minutes walking distance, you have a small city neighborhood's worth of resources of shops, coffee houses and fine dining/casual restaurants.
All views in this home look into the woods/wildlife area. The split entry leads to an upper level which includes living room (with fireplace), dining room, and kitchen in a great room type setting and 2 bedrooms, 1 bath.
There is a private deck with gas grill off the great room area surrounded by woods.
The Master Bedroom has a small walk-in closet, and a new king size Euro-comfort bed. There is a bath on this level as well. There is a small bedroom next to the Master.
The spacious kitchen is well-equipped with a full complement of gourmet cooking utensils and some favorite cook books including Rachel Ray's 30-minute meals.
Downstairs is a family room, also with a fireplace and woods views, an office area (with internet cable and wi-fi) and a laundry room. This lower level has sleeping for 2 guests, as well as its own bath. The home is 1350 square feet, and has a 2 car garage.
Several miles of walking/running and biking trails lead out from this home. They are maintained by the homeowners association during the winter. In summer, nearby wetlands, their wildlife also beckon.
A large Barnes and Noble, a number of well-known wonderful restaurants for a special night out or more casual dining, a 16-screen movie house, a large county library, various other shopping opportunities and a dry cleaners. There is also a 24 hour Kinko's, the Flagship Athletic Club and express buses to downtown Minneapolis within a 5 minute drive from the home.
Vacationers, travelers, snowbirds and corporate guests welcome.

Perfect - what a hidden gem!, June 19, 2009 By Teresa Harris (New Hampshire, USA) We had a fantastic week in Minnesota, in great part due to the comfortable, quiet and convenient accomodations here... wild rabbits at dawn and dusk; quiet tree-lined view - and yet practically walking distance to shopping, great restaurants and the major highway system. The kitchen was a bonus - fully stocked for complete meal cooking! We hope to return again on future visits, and are thrilled to have found such a "home away from home" in MN. Many, many thanks.

The townhome was perfect for our family of four. The split level floor plan was ideal as it provided two separate living spaces: one for kids, one for adults. It was very convenient to main highway and close to ski parks, main cities and Mall of America. There were quite a few restaurants nearby and a mall within walking distance. The townhome was very clean and quiet. We would stay here again!

All the way down from Fargo we talking about our two other VRBO experiences and wondering if we'd get lucky a third time. Well, we're not wondering anymore. We LOVE your home. It's everything you describe in the VRBO listing and way more. The layout and features suit us to a "T". The office is perfect and alows Laurie to enjoy the fabulous plasma TV while he's puttering (usually research on what we're planning for tomorrow or on something we've seen and are contemplating buying). The view from your patio doors is stunning...We'll touch next spring to arrange next year's trip. We really want to come back to your home. Everything was perfect.

This house was immaculate and pretty. We were in town for a conference and this place as beautiful and relaxing to come back to after a tough day. It was close enough to downtown to make the commute a breeze. The ammenties for cooking were excellent. I would highly recommend this place and Denise was very easy to work with.

We greatly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of your home, and after a long tiring day, it was always a pleasure to return "home"...the highlight of our trip was the appearance of 4 deer who stood in the wooded area and watched us watching them!

Sadly we are heading home tomorrow. We have had such a nice Christmas here, thanks in no small part to our accommodations. We could literally walk anywhere we needed to go, though truthfully we generally took the car. The location was so convenient for access for shopping, meals out, and entertainment. Yet, we felt like we were in the country on our walks through and around the Preserve. We walked around the lake next to the wildlife nesting area, and also visited the hockey rink in the park near your place. We walked to Starbucks next to Jerry's Market, as well as to Dunn Bros Coffee. We were actually able to find everything we needed for Christmas food, decorations, and gifts in a relatively short period of time. We were all settled in for Christmas by Saturday... Your kitchen is so well equipped, we were able to cook Turkey, stuffing, and the works... We thank you very much for the stay here. What a nice area, and the people seem so friendly. Have a wonderful New Year.

We're on our way after a great holiday weekend. Thanks much for the use of the townhouse -- it worked out well for us. We found it well equipt (Nancy said she didn't need to bring the roasting pan from Seattle . . ), convenient and private. We enjoyed the neighborhood trails, the restaurants and the 18 movie screens within 10 mn walking! Nancy is leaving a few things in the fridge hoping someone will be able to use them. Best wishes, thanks again and we hope to be back. Peter Nancy & Sarah

Thank you for sharing your home with us. The location is great and the woods are "peaceful". It is nicely furnished and well-equipped and we had everything we would want to feel comfortable...we lived like the "locals"... we enjoyed the walking trails, parks and lakes in the metro area...Good tips in your menu book. The information book was a nice touch. Looking forward to another visit in the future.
