About this property

MINNeSTAY* Bayside Escape | Waterfront | Excelsior

Bayside Escape is Minnestay’s newest listing, a stunning lakeside home on Saint Alban’s Bay. Located just a ten minute walk from historic downtown Excelsior, this is a place you won’t want to miss! Bayside Escape boasts 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a spacious yard, a gazebo for outdoor dining, and more!

A stunning dining room is handsomely decorated and has sliding glass doors that lead to the porch. Enjoy delicious meals at a large table that seats eight comfortably. The living room has large windows which let in brilliant light and a gorgeous view. Relax on the couch and catch a movie on the large screen TV, or cozy up in the corner by the window. A full kitchen has a gas burning stove, a kitchen island with bar seating for five and plenty of counter space for meal prep. You’ll absolutely love cooking here!

Just off the dining room, the library awaits you. Choose from a myriad of genres and enjoy a good read and a cup of coffee - locally roasted and provided with our compliments. Just across the way is the office - good luck getting work done with that view! Down the hall are two bedrooms, a Queen and a King, the latter which has direct access to the porch and the backyard. The main floor bathroom has twin sinks, a spacious shower, and a clawfoot tub.
The upper level hosts a full bath and three more bedrooms, 2 Queen and one Full, each with their own view. The lower level entertainment room has a projector for epic movie nights.
Outdoors you’ll find Adirondack chairs facing the water, a table for porch dining, a fire pit for roasting marshmallows, and a beautiful gazebo. Take the steps down to the shoreline and dip your toes in Saint Alban’s Bay. This property does not have dock access.

Bayside Escape is a luxurious getaway only 40 minutes from the Twin Cities. Book your stay and make memories that will last a lifetime!

Location and views
Fantastic location. The kitchen could have been better stocked. Plenty of dishes but minimal utensils, supplies and towels in the bathrooms. Main floor is updated nicely but upstairs bedrooms and bath are old and need work. Views of the lake and being right in town made it a great visit. Summer time would be even better! The one concern we had was a strong gas smell when the furnace ran in the kitchen area coming up from the entry area.

What a great place to house my people while they were in for an event! Caution - only 2 bathrooms and one is in the Master, so plan accordingly, but everything else was great - we recommend!!
