5BR Lake Phalen Home with Lake Views & Trails

*LISTING SUMMARY*
Important before booking: this is a three-story home with a private lower-level owner’s suite that has its own separate entrance. Guests have exclusive use of the first and second floors, the front yard, and the stone patio, and there are no shared interior spaces.

Located directly across from Lake Phalen Park, this spacious 5-bedroom home is ideal for families, reunions, and group stays. With room for up to 12 guests, multiple living areas, lake views, a fully equipped kitchen, and inviting indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, East Shore Drive offers a comfortable home base for relaxing together and exploring Saint Paul and the greater Minneapolis area.

*LISTING SPACE*
East Shore Drive is designed for groups who want room to gather without feeling crowded. Whether you’re planning a family trip, reunion, wedding weekend, graduation stay, or a longer visit with friends, the layout offers both shared spaces and room to spread out.

The home includes 5 bedrooms with flexible sleeping arrangements to accommodate a variety of group setups. The main-floor primary bedroom includes an en-suite walk-in shower with a seat, which can be especially helpful for guests who prefer to avoid stairs for sleeping and bathing.

The kitchen is set up for real group use, with an island, granite countertops, generous cabinet space, and the equipment needed to prepare meals at home. This is paired with two dining areas, making it easier for your group to gather for breakfast, dinner, or a longer evening in. Large windows bring in natural light and showcase views toward the lake.

The home also offers multiple places to relax. The main living room includes comfortable seating, a 65” Smart TV, and a gas fireplace, while the upper-level lounge gives larger groups an additional hangout space. A dedicated workspace, in-unit laundry, and central air conditioning add convenience for both short stays and longer visits.

Outside, guests can enjoy the front yard and stone patio overlooking Lake Phalen. It’s a great place to start the morning with coffee, unwind after a day out, grill on the charcoal BBQ, or gather around the Solo Stove fire pit in the evening while taking in sunset views.

Overall, the home is best suited to guests seeking a spacious, comfortable stay with ample gathering space, practical amenities, and a scenic setting close to both outdoor recreation and city access.

*LISTING ACCESS*
Guests have private and exclusive use of the first and second floors of the residence, along with the front yard and stone patio overlooking the lake.

The lower level is not part of the guest space. It contains the owner’s private suite, which has its own independent entrance. Guests do not have access to the lower-level owner’s suite, the backyard patio, or the attached garage. There are no shared interior spaces and no interior cross-traffic during your stay.

Guests enter through a private entrance via the three-season porch and can enjoy self-check-in with a personalized electronic door code.

Parking includes two dedicated guest spaces on the shared driveway, with additional free street parking nearby. The owner’s suite uses a separate portion of the driveway.

*LISTING INTERACTION*
We want guests to enjoy a smooth, comfortable, and private stay. Self-check-in makes arrival simple, and we remain available before and during your stay if questions come up or assistance is needed. We’re happy to help with anything related to the home so your group can settle in and enjoy the stay with confidence.

*LISTING NEIGHBORHOOD OVERVIEW*
The home is located directly across from Lake Phalen Park, one of Saint Paul’s standout outdoor areas. Guests can easily enjoy walking trails, beach access, swimming, boating, and lakeside recreation just steps away.

This location works especially well for guests who want a balance of outdoor access and city convenience. In addition to the park setting, the home offers easy access to downtown Saint Paul, Mall of America, and Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), making it a practical base for both local events and broader Twin Cities travel.

Whether your group is planning time outdoors, visiting family, attending an event, or simply looking for a spacious place to stay together, the Lake Phalen setting is one of the home’s biggest advantages.
