About the host

Hosted by Mike and Stacy

Host profile image
We started hosting in July of 2022 and have enjoyed every minute of this great opportunity. This short-term rental is the only one we have, which allows us to focus on providing the best possible experience for our guests. There is nothing better than getting a review highlighting how great a time our guests had staying in our home. We love seeing families come together and share time to celebrate life.

Why they chose this property

We love this house. We have lived here for many years, and when we decided to downsize, we knew this home would make an excellent place for families and friends to come together and celebrate. The location, amenities, and size of the house provide many opportunities for our guests.

What makes this property unique

If you love sunsets, you will get your fill as you sit on the deck, looking over the lake, watching the sunset while the sky catches fire in color. Are restaurants your thing? We have great ones, all within 10 miles. There are golf courses, the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, Bavaria Downs Wedding Venue, Paisley Park, Lake Minnetonka, and fantastic hiking/walking trails - all a short drive away. If you prefer to stay in and relax, we have all the room and amenities you need to make the most of your visit.
