Charming Linden Hills Cottage 800 feet from Lake Harriet, also near 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. Enjoy the woodsy view. The cottage is conveniently located in the midst of vibrant Linden Hills, but offers a private north woods ambiance. Walk just a few blocks to downtown Linden Hills where you'll find many unique shops and a variety of restaurants, from casual to fine dining.

Step out the back door, walk along the historic trolley tracks and you will arrive at the shore of Lake Harriet. Enjoy the beach, rent kayaks, canoes, paddle-boats, or bikes. Enjoy the trails connecting the various Minneapolis Lakes. Just a short distance along the shore you’ll encounter 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, sweet sleeping nook w/queen-sized mattress. Full-sized stacked washer and dryer in lower walk-out level. Out the back door you can enjoy the private patio and have a soak in the luscious hot tub--glorious in winter!

There are two TVs--one in the upstairs living room with a Roku stick. Second TV is in the lower-level family room, is a Smart TV, and also has a Roku stick.

About the host

Hosted by Katie Adams

Host profile image
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.
