Holiday rentals with lake access in Hennepin County

Thank you for a charming and comfortable place to stay. We stayed for a month. Lots of fun places to go nearby. Great sunsets! Cute little place with everything we needed. Felt very homey, very quiet, nice lake location. Safe. Neighbors yards are really messy but that didn't bother us. Host was really nice.

We we’re looking for a certain place as we were traveling as a family with a 12 yr old and a dog and we needed to have a break from our demanding lives/jobs: close to the Harriett/Bde Maka lakes because grandparents live here, walkable, safe bicycle streets, things to do with our 12 yr old, places to take our dog for walks, fenced yard, garage to store our bicycles, and it had to feel like home. We got all of that and more at the Boho House. Our hosts were amazing. At some point we needed a heater (we’re from Texas ;)) and our host got us what we needed pretty quick. The place was exactly what the pictures showed. It was clean and beautiful, loved the boho decor. Loved the natural light in the living area and one of the bedrooms but at the same time felt private. We were able to cook some meals but we also got to enjoy the restaurants from the area. The coffee table has a binder with great recommendations. We plan to come back next year and definitely would like to stay here again.

We had a great stay at Nancy's place. It was the perfect base for our stay in Minneapolis. I particularly appreciated being so close to the lakes for daily walks, and Uptown is centrally located and has a variety of restaurants and grocery stores. The home was very comfortable and located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood.

Loved our stay so many great places within walking distance!

The apartment was bright and spacious. The location was great and we enjoyed walking around the lake and to restaurants.

We spent three nights in this home when we serenity town for Lyndon’s wedding. There was plenty of space and lots of beds for our family. It was important to me that we had enough space and bathrooms for everyone to get ready and to be able to relax. This was the perfect house. Christy was very flexible with me about checking in and out. I highly recommend this property.

We had a group of guys down for the Pond Hockey tournament on Lake Naomi's and we needed a space that could accommodate all of us including the couple dogs staying with us. This was a great location to the lake and we all enjoyed our stay. We wish the hockey part would have went as well as our stay did.

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!

The peaceful and beautiful location of this apartment, walkable to Harriet Lake, can’t be overstated. The unit itself is on the top floor of a charming older building, in a well-kept neighborhood graced with towering trees. The unit itself had everything I and my two adult children needed — very comfortable rooms and beds for all, a well-stocked kitchen, a bathroom where everything worked as it should (plenty of hot water), and of course, that gorgeous outdoor deck right off the living room, where we spent so much of our time. We plugged in the lights at night and it was magical. The location meant we were close enough to walk down to Harriet Lake and then run the 3-mile loop around, finishing the run off with a beer or a delicious ice cream at the Bread and Pickle, near the outdoor amphitheater where, if the stars align, you can find someone on stage singing about love, grief, and redemption. So many great restaurants all around. Khâluna was fantastic — don’t think, just go!

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The one-bedroom space was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The shower was excellent, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. The neighborhood felt very safe, which made my stay even more enjoyable. Communication with the host was smooth, and they were very accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and secure place to stay by the historic lake.

Location was convenient and in a cute neighborhood. The upstairs neighbors are quiet, but you can hear every footstep, since it's an older home with creaky and uneven floors. The second bedroom is quite small. But the home was clean and adequate for what we needed for a comfortable weekend stay.

This is a safe place to stay. The streets are dead-end backing up to a lake. No traffic, it's best thing about this place. It's a typical older 4 apartment building. There are two tenants and two rentals. Tenants kept to themselves. The place is not high end but clean and gets the job done especially for the price. I would consider renting again. Remember, Minnesota is a Marijuana state, and you smell it everywhere.

Great apartment. Terrific location. Steps from the lake. Easy parking. Wonderful deck for sitting out. Kevin has some nice touches like reusable grocery bags. He has a binder with information about the area and the apartment. Very useful. We really enjoyed our stay.

It's a great location on Lake Street, close to top restaurants such as 6Smith and a short walk to shops and the beautiful Wayzata Bay. The unit is spacious and just as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and plan to return.

Jodi's place was the perfect house for our team to stay. We were in town for a conference at the convention center and house was about a 10 minute drive from the center, and we saved hundreds of dollars over is staying at a hotel in town. I would look to stay here again if I return to the Twin Cities.

This place is outstanding. My husband, my two kids, and I had a great stay. The owners are super responsive and friendly. The place was clean, organized, well stocked, and easy to access. The beds are comfy, the linens are fresh, and the fireplace is an excellent touch. The neighborhood has easy access to restaurants, downtown, lakes, parks, and museums. I’ve already recommended this place to multiple people. What a great week we had!!

My pup and I felt right at home. comfortable beds and a beautiful view of the lake...what more could a weary traveler ask for? really awesome place. highly recommend...

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.

The hosts, Katie and Curt, were very friendly and responsive. The hot tub on the patio was a big bonus. I also enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and watching the trolley go by through the woods ($3 to take the short historic ride). And just a few minutes to walk to Lake Harriet pavilion to take in some live music or walk around the lake. I’m excited to come back sometime for this relaxing get-away!

This house is marvelous, it is pristinely clean, the decor is magnificent and the location is divine. My only opportunity for improvement is that the cable TV glitches in and out in every room, so we watched our oqn devices, and sadly the people who stayed above were very loud walkers and up all night, so for 2 nights i was unable to sleep, which is not the owners fault, but unfortunate.
