MINNeSTAY* Lakefront Luxury | Waterfront
This was a lovely last minute stay and I would definitely stay again! Beautiful surroundings, clear and thoughtful instructions, and helpful responsive property managers. Thanks for a great visit!

Boho-chic home by Lake Bde MakaSka; Fully stocked
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.

Charming Uptown Home - A Walkers Paradise
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.

The Shore House
Lower level has large living room , TV , bedroom and full bath. Upper level has large living room, kitchen w dining table and 3 bedrooms and one full bath. Large deck across the front of the house. Parking for 4 vehicles. Three mile paved walking path around the lake right out the front door. 20 minutes to airport. A great place to stay.

Heart of Uptown -walk to lakes, shops, restaurants
Loved our stay so many great places within walking distance!

Peaceful oasis, walking distance to Mpls Lakes
The apartment was bright and spacious. The location was great and we enjoyed walking around the lake and to restaurants.

Downtown Wayzata just a short walk to coffee shop
Had a wonderful stay it was perfect for our girls weekend and the mini fridge was such a nice touch! I also enjoyed the easy checkout truly made us feel like we could enjoy ourselves this weekend!

Modern Home with private beach on St Croix River
This was a fantastic place to stay. It is right on the river and is in a very quiet neighborhood. There is a wonderful dock with the place and there is a marina with boat ramp and rentals about 500 feet away. We fished off of the dock all week and caught Drum, Walleye, and Perch. Hudson WI is 5 minutes away and Stillwater MN is about 15 minutes away. Both towns are full of good restaurants and shops.

Lakefront Charm: Your Cozy Studio Escape!
This small unit has everything you need for a comfortable stay. As a host, Lucie was very communicative and her hospitality was thoughtful and gracious. She provided snacks and bathroom toiletries. With a couple of quirks, everything worked as it was supposed to. One quirk was that the shower will spray water out into the bathroom when you turn it on unless you make sure that the curtain is pulled. Another is that when you turn on the TV, the screen just shows snow, so you have to figure out how to use the remote and the menu system in order to watch Netflix. There is apparently no general TV, if that matters to you. Wi-fi was fine. The lake location is pretty and quiet. Lucie offered us the use of her kayaks. However, it's not really a neighborhood where you can go for walks, so this is a location that you either can use as a base for doing other things in the area, or a place to relax in, along with the deck where you can sit outside. Lucie does a good job for her guests.

Tree Top Linden Hills - 2 blocks to lakes
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!

Garden Level @ The Lake Hideaway, downtown WBL
We loved staying here. The beds were comfortable and it had everything you could possibly need. Would definitely stay again

Nice & Cozy Apartment walking distance to Up-Town
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.

Entire 2BR apt. Comfy beds, convenient location.
It was a great place to stay for the weekend

Treetop guest apartment by the lake
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.

NEW! Luxury Apartment in heart of Downtown Wayzata
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.

New! Beautiful Minneapolis Home
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.

Carriage house with private garden
What a charming, cozy and spotless cottage in a very private setting! The description was on point! Very quiet, wonderful neighbors and accessible to parks, restaurants, shopping, etc. Communication with the host was excellent with any concerns! She was lovely to chat with. I would definitely book again! Susan C.

Koselig Cottage on Medicine Lake
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...

Lake Martha Cottage: beachside, peaceful & homey
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.

Quiet, quaint, well appointed lakefront cottage
A gorgeous place with beautiful lake access. We spent 6 weeks here while waiting to close on our new home & we enjoyed it so much. Thank you!!

Cozy Downtown WBL Cottage one block away from lake
Wonderful place to stay and great location. Easy walking distance to the local downtown and the lake.

Little House by Lake Phalen
We have stayed at Little House several times before and it is always a wonderful experience. I would say it's our favorite Airbnb location in the Twin Cities and if it's available to book, we always do!

Charming Linden Hills cottage by Lake Harriet
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!

Quiet lakeside cottage in heart of St Paul/Mpls
Connie's place was exactly what we were looking for: clean, quiet, attractive and conveniently located. My family and I enjoyed the view of the lake and walking the nearby trails. My grandson got a lot of use out of the games and toys. We were able to cook our meals in the fully stocked kitchen. We appreciated the ease of check-in and Connie's responsiveness. Highly recommend!
