The host was very welcoming - a sweet note and treats when we arrived. She was also very timely in her responses to my questions. The house was perfect for what we needed, plenty of beds and a great dining room table that we spent lots of time at. The location is perfect too, so close to the Lake and Hennepin area. We would definitely rent again!

The house was clean and cozy. Had to contact the host as the lock was not allowing us in at our check in time. She fixed it quickly. Really nice, friendly and quiet neighborhood within walking distance to shops/restaurants and lakes. My only complaint about the house is it’s a bit noisy going up and down the stairs, as it is an older house. If you are a light sleeper you hear everything. We enjoyed our stay very much.

As good as the pictures!

This space was really lovely and fit our large group well, we did not feel cramped and on each other's toes. The location is really incredible, making it easy to walk to the nearby Bde Maka Ska lake as well as all of the restaurants and bars in uptown. Would recommend this spot, it was really lovely and we would stay again!

Adorable home in fun, walkable area

Owner was a dream to work with. We are a hotel family and rarely stay at VRBO, but decided it was the best option when traveling for a family wedding. The house came with everything we could possibly need and the area was perfect to walk to the lake or shops to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner.
