This is an outstanding place to stay if you are visiting Waconia. Close to everything and even decorated for Christmas. As a host, Kelly, thinks of everything and the place is lovely with everything you might need. We stayed at this property two years ago and was excited to come back again. We especially like the main level as we could play family games at the big table!

Best kept secret in Waconia

We came to Waconia for a wedding. This house was the perfect place for our family! It was walking distance to downtown, our wedding venue and the cutest restaurant, Lola’s.
