Wonderful, clean, comfortable property in a great neighborhood. We felt totally at home here and loved walking around the area, exploring the restaurants and shops, and strolling around the lake, which is only a few blocks away. We would absolutely stay here again!

What a charming home and location! Ben’s home was very clean and welcoming. It was so nice to have a coffee station ready to go. The 2 porches were lovely and great place for coffee, and beautiful nature views. The neighborhood was quiet and cute coffee house and restaurants were close. We wil be back. Thanks, Ben

The Harriet House is a cute house nestled in a walkable neighborhood with cute antique shops and restaurants. My party of 3 gal pals were there for a birthday party of a close, long time friend. The kitchen was fully stocked and clean. The house has a nice screened in patio on the second floor with a front deck patio. Ben, our host, communicated appropriately and professionally. There are two large smart TVs which were used to watch a collegiate football game (after logging into YouTube TV). We enjoyed our stay! Thanks, Ben!

Fantastic location, and great house. Very safe, blocks away from the lake, family, friendly location. House had everything we needed. Ben was super attentive to any questions we had. The house is adorable. The only downside is if stairs are an issue this is not the house for you.

The house was very well located for where we needed to be in Minneapolis. Nice neighborhood with good amenities nearby. The house was consistent with other houses in the neighborhood-- older homes with charm and a few eccentricities. Some of the stairs are steep and narrow if you have mobility issues. Not an issue for us, but might be for some visitors. All in all, a very nice stay.
