What a wonderful experience my group had in Minneapolis, and the house we stayed at on Ridgewood made it all possible!. We were in town for a bridge tournament at the convention center. Easy walk from the property. And the house: GREAT kitchen, lovely spaces to sit and talk, so many bedrooms! Really, perfect for the 7 of us (and a kid for a few days). All systems, including the A/C (we were here in the summer) worked great, plenty of parking in the double driveway. Easy access to the highway. Only thing to pay attention to is that all full baths are ensuites. The hosts were amazing, too--responsive, helpful and on top of everything. Strongly recommend this house!

We loved staying in this house with my senior parents and teenage daughter. So much value and room for the price, as compared to hotel prices for the same dates. Lovely neighborhood, very convenient to the Convention Center (less than a mile, we walked there for the event we were in town for several times). Perfect for multiple families, especially those preferring a common place to gather plus many secluded rooms if people need privacy or quiet time. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. Hosts were very prompt in their responses. We would definitely stay here again.

Family wedding trip

The property is very large with lots of room for people to spread out. We had a large group and it never felt crowded. Lots of steps, but bedrooms and bathrooms on the main floor if steps were a problem. Location was very close to the wedding venue, which worked well.

Great Stay!

Our whole group frequently commented on how lucky we were to have this rental. It easily fit our three intergenerational families. The kids enjoyed the lower level and the adults spread out on the top two levels. The kitchen was outfitted with all that we needed. We also loved the ease of walking to the local grocery store and LOVED the local bakery Black Walnut. Highly recommend staying here. We will be back again!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
Hello! I’m Alana. I am a licensed real estate professional with a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces. My husband and I are deeply involved in our local community—from officiating swim meets to supporting our daughter’s synchronized skating team. We understand that when you travel as a family or a large group, the details matter.

I love hosting because it allows me to combine my professional background in property management with my love for hospitality. My goal is to provide a seamless, high-end experience where you can focus on making memories while we handle the rest.

Why they chose this property

We chose this area because it offers the perfect intersection of city energy and neighborhood charm. Being so close to Downtown and the Stadium means you are never more than a few minutes away from world-class dining, professional sports, and concerts.

What I enjoy most is the 'walkability' to major attractions while still having a spacious, private home to return to at the end of the night. Whether you’re here for a big game, a business trip, or a family reunion, this location serves as the ultimate home base for exploring the best of the city.

What makes this property unique

As a property manager and real estate professional, I designed this home with 'group flow' in mind. With 5 bedrooms and 4 full bathrooms, you’ll never feel cramped, and the modern, upscale finishes provide a boutique hotel atmosphere with the privacy of a personal residence.

What truly sets us apart is the attention to detail: from the designer kitchen ready for a private chef to the intuitive layout that allows for both social gathering and quiet privacy. We take pride in maintaining a pristine environment and offering local insights that only a long-time resident can provide.
