Beachfront holiday rental in Hennepin County

Ms. Edna went above and beyond to welcome me into her space. I was making a long commute, and she was flexible to uncertain arrival time. She was welcoming when I arrived, and even toured me through her space. Her space is in a wonderful neighbourhood with lots of great food, and I highly recommend you consider her place for your next trip in Minne!

We stayed at Martha’s place while our home was being remodeled and we were so thankful for our time there! The outdoor space was beautiful—peaceful and perfect for relaxing. We especially loved spending time by the creek and exploring the trails to Medicine Lake Park, and ending the day with some time in the sauna. The whole vibe of the place was just what we needed—quiet, quirky, cozy, and surrounded by nature. We stayed with 3 kids and they loved the wooden slide, all the books, the swing chairs, and the big yard. Martha was a wonderful host—friendly and easy to communicate with. It was a joy to get to know her throughout our stay. We would recommend!

We loved out stay at John's place in Cottagewood. Great location, beautiful home, well stocked . . . perfect for our family of five. Would absolutely stay again!

Absolutely incredible stay! Brian is, without question, the BEST Airbnb host we’ve ever had. (And we’ve had TONS). He went above and beyond for everything—so much so that we’re already planning to make this an annual tradition. We celebrated my husband’s birthday with a private hibachi dinner on the deck overlooking the river, and it was unforgettable. The house itself is stunning—beautiful, spotless, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could need. But what really set this experience apart was Brian. Not only was he incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, but when we had a (completely our fault) issue with his pontoon, he came out on his own boat to help us—and even stopped by the next day to make sure everything was okay. Truly the most accommodating, kind, and thoughtful host we’ve ever met. If you’re lucky enough to stay at one of Brian’s properties, go. You won’t regret it!

Great place. Debbie was responsive and helpful. the place was as advertised, if not better, we had a great stay and we would come again.

Really charming mid-century home. Great neighborhood with incredible views of the Mississippi. Super easy to get to both downtowns. House is very well appointed and the downstairs makes for a fun hangout for kids. Very close to shopping as well. It was perfect for our young family.

The stay was great! Beautiful and spacious kitchen area/living room. Clean rooms and all with a “homey” feel, the only thing was that the water had a smell to it. Other than that everything else was fun especially the lake.

We absolutely loved the accommodations. The house is beautiful, modern, comfortable, spacious, clean and perfect for our family of 6. The views are exceptional - seeing the sunrise in the morning was a real highlight. The back yard is large and the waterfront is as advertised - clear/clean lake, serene views, nice boat pier - so relaxing. Also, we took advantage of the option to hire a private chef one night and the meal was Michelin-quality. The house itself - and the entire experience here at Donna and Peter's place was 5-star all the way. Super responsive, super friendly and worth every penny. HIGHLY RECOMMEND STAYING HERE!

Five ⭐️ across the board. Jackson was responsive through the entire experience, and made us feel welcome even before we arrived. The suite is perfectly appointed and the location superb. We took full advantage of the kayaks, grill and eating outside. Jackson and Shelley are warm and generous, some of the best hosts we’ve had. Thank you again for an amazing stay!

We had a good two night stay during our son's wedding activities. The place had amble room for all who stayed. The house gave me the feel of "returning to Grandma's old house on the lake". Only thing missing was grandma in the kitchen cooking. With all our wedding activities we barely got any time at the house but I personally enjoyed waking up and watching the activities on the lake each of the two mornings as well as gazing at the lights across the lake at night before heading to bed.

Jeanne’s place on the lake was perfect for our weekend in Excelsior. We had ample space, comfy beds, stocked mini fridge, privacy, and beautiful views of and easy access to the lake. We were a quick drive into the adorable town of Excelsior and an easy drive into the city for dinner. Communication was great with a smooth check in and friendly hosts. All in all a great experience.
