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!

Great house, even better location

This is the second time we are staying here. We love the spaciousness which was for 6 adults. The house is very clean and true to description! The location is wonderful and convenient to walk to the lovely lake, around the neighborhood or to downtown for great food or coffee/tea! Would highly recommend!

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. The beds, pillows and towels were all very nice. We also enjoyed the screened in porch and sauna!! We will definitely be back!!

Perfect weekend stay!

We (four adults and one infant) stayed here over the Fourth of July weekend and it was perfect! The location is perfect being only a couple blocks from downtown shops, restaurants and marina. This space is so cute and exactly as advertised! Bedrooms were good sizes and had extremely spacious closets. The property also was well stocked with kitchen items, games, towels and bedding that made things easy. Great backyard and relaxing porch also were fun spaces to enjoy. Neighborhood is quiet and super walkable. Kelly was extremely communicative and easy to coordinate with which helped make our stay even more seamless. I would recommend this property in a heartbeat!
