About this property
Charming Linden Hills Cottage steps from Lake Harriet & Lake Bde Maka Ska
Our lovely 1+ bedroom, 2-level walk-out cottage backs up to prime Minneapolis William Berry Park and is located just 800 feet from the shore of beautiful Lake Harriet. Sip your morning coffee in our cozy breakfast nook and watch the historic trolley go by. Conveniently located in the midst of vibrant Linden Hills, offering many unique shops and fine restaurants, but with a private north woods ambiance. Just out the back door you can arrive at the shore of Lake Harriet in 5 minutes. Enjoy the beach, rent kayaks, canoes, paddle-boats, bikes—enjoy the manicured trails. Just a short distance along the shore you’ll find the exquisite Lyndale Park Rose Garden and the Roberts Bird Sanctuary (see photos).
Fully equipped kitchen plus breakfast nook, LR/DR, entry parlor w/piano. Lower-level family room with comfy sectional, TV/cable/Roku, sweet sleeping nook w/queen-sized mattress . Full-sized stacked washer and dryer on that level. Walk out the back door, cross the patio and have a soak in the luscious hot tub--glorious in winter!
Also just a few blocks from Lake Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun) and a nice bike ride around all the connected city lakes (see map).

About the host
Hosted by Katie Adams
We have lived in the Twin Cities area all our lives and have traveled extensively with our three (now grown) children. I completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees at the University of Minnesota (B.A. in Spanish and M.A. in Educational Psychology), and worked at a private 4-year university in the Twin Cities from March 2000 through February 2020, when I took a new position at one of the metro area’s finest community colleges. Curt completed a Bachelor of Architecture degree at the University of Minnesota and works in real estate and design, and manages our rental units.
We started hosting on Airbnb in December 2014, and we are thoroughly enjoying the experience! We have met literally thousands of marvelous people. It has been so satisfying to open our home and share this fabulous location with others.

Why they chose this property
Located in one of the most sought-after Twin City areas, our charming Linden Hills cottage is a peaceful haven in the midst of a vibrant urban area. The cottage is a mere 800 feet from gorgeous Lake Harriet and right smack on the extensive Minneapolis bike trails with William Berry Park and Lake Harriet right out the back door. Enjoy concerts in the hammock on the patio or take a 2-minute hike for a beer and a sandwich at the Pavilion.
Fully equipped kitchen with cozy breakfast nook, LR/DR, entry parlor with piano which we tune regularly. Walk-out lower level family room, with sleeping cubby/nook with queen-sized mattress, full laundry, basic cable/internet, outdoor hot tub (glorious in winter). In addition to being steps away from the shore/beach of Lake Harriet, we are also just blocks from Lake Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun).

What makes this property unique
Prime Twin Cities location, bright, roomy, historic and comfortable cottage. Just steps away from downtown Linden Hills, offering multiple unique shops, restaurants, coffee shops, bakery, county library, and even our handy local hardware store.
Our cottage was built around 1900 as a summer cottage. There were a few others built in this area around that time as summer homes.
