Great place for our family trip! Clean, comfortable, and in a nice neighborhood. Super convenient location — about 15 minutes from downtown and 10–12 minutes from the Mall of America. Plenty of space to relax and the beds were comfortable. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating. Everything we needed for our family of four. Would definitely stay again!

This house had things for my toddler like a pack-n-play and children's silverware which made packing much easier. We ended up not needing a high chair, but I'm sure the hosts would have provided one if I asked since it is listed in the amenities. The neighborhood was quiet and in a nice, convenient area for what we needed. We enjoyed being able to walk to a very good pizza place. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. I would definitely stay here again if we are ever back in the area.

The place was clean and met our needs. We mostly used it as a home base after our outings during the day. We had a little trouble setting up the pack-n-play initially and finding some of the linens. Host was able to assist us. Kitchen was stocked a little sparse. We struggled to prep meals for our group. Could use a few full sized cookie sheets and some more kitchen utensils.

Great Place for Family

The home is in a very nice quiet neighborhood close to amenities. Easy on and off the highway. A great place for our family to stay while visiting for my Mother's 90th birthday. Lots of room for everyone and well furnished. The sunroom is excellent for late afternoons. Plenty of room to be able to get privacy when needed. Fully equipped kitchen. I highly recommend this house.

Great family friendly location

We had a wonderful stay! We wanted to get away from the Texas heat and this location had everything we wanted: plenty of room for all in a family friendly location near the Minnehaha creek. It was wonderful to see children riding their bikes and chasing the ice cream truck. The grocery store was super close as well as several nice restaurants. The only reason I didn't give it a 5/5 is that the a/c struggled to cool the upper bedroom on the hot afternoons. In cooler weather it wouldn't be a problem. Great stay and we would be happy to stay here again.

Lovely home in Minneapolis

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this home for a Thanksgiving trip to Minneapolis! The property was spotless, well-maintained, and felt like a cozy retreat while still being close to the city’s attractions. We traveled with a large family including young kids and there was plenty of space and good amenities. All stairways have doors at the top and bottom which is great for very young kids! The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, and the living space was perfect for relaxing with our family. The location was perfect for exploring Minneapolis. We loved being able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings of the cabin while knowing we were just a short drive from great restaurants, shops, and parks. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a perfect balance of comfort, charm, and convenience.

About the host

Hosted by Anthony

Host profile image
I m a mom of two lovely kids and enjoy traveling. Spent past 10 years working in startup tech company in CA and now enjoy time with family.
I like great movies, running, hiking, rock climbing and quality time with friends and family.

Among all my work/projects, running this Airbnb is my favorite. I love our vocation home and enjoy hosting. Brining joys to our guests granted my incredible satisfaction.

Why they chose this property

Lynnhurst is a picturesque neighborhood located just off of Lake Harriet in southwest Minneapolis. Minnehaha Creek runs right through the residential area and attracts canoers and kayakers.
I enjoy running along Lake Harriet, no matter it's summer sunset or chill snowy morning, taking my kids to playgrounds parks (Minneapolis has one of the best park systems in the nation, and is surrounded by stunning rivers and lakes) , walking to the cafe 2 blocks away to enjoy my breakfast. My neighbors are so friends, they are so kind to us and I love my neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

Cozy and family friendly. We can sleep in upstairs while kids play in the family room. Enjoying a slow brunch in a sunny day with bunnies and chipmunks running in the garden, reading while holding a cup of hot coffee in the sun room are a few of my favorite things. My young son will definitely vote for the sand pit. He can easily spend hours there with his little construction vehicles.

It's a quiet neighborhood close to everything. Conveniently located to many fun places. Walking distance to 3 highly rated restaurants and 1 cafe (2 blocks). Quick access to Lake Harriet (<1mile) Minnehaha Pkwy (1 .1 mile) , MN famous bike and walking paths. The Mall of America, Minnehaha fall, MSP airport and downtown msp are all just a 12-13 minute drive away. You will be centrally-located
