Serendipity Escape - Relax and enjoy nature!
Bob and Lisa were very flexible with us while we were in a difficult situation. We were able to extend our stay into a second week. Thank you so much. If you like being near the water and appreciate a visit from a friendly cat while you sit on the deck, this is the place to be. Those beds are super comfy!!

Cozy Private Lakefront Retreat
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.

Riverside Getaway | Downtown Apartment above Cafe
The renovation of this building was so well done. The place is beautifully decorated. We loved our stay in historic Carver!

King Bed! FREE Parking, and River Views!
The studio was very comfortable and homey. The kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed. The instructions for parking and getting to the unit were extremely clear. Would definitely recommend!

Balsam Bird Nest on Balsam Lake
Cute, lil place to stay. We were impressed by the cleanliness and the space. We would definitely stay here again.

Cedar Lake Beach - MerryGold Vintage Studio
Allison’s place was great! Very cute vintage decor throughout the apartment and it felt very cozy and like home throughout my stay. Very easy to find and in a great location, was able to take a nice walk around the lakes every day. No issues with parking at all, there is plenty of street parking immediately outside the front door. Allison provided detailed instructions regarding check in on the day of my reservation which made the whole process easy.

It Was Always You!
Tonia’s place was absolutely perfect for our wedding weekend! The layout worked great for getting ready and there was actually more space than I expected! There are so many cute places in walking distance as well. We already want to come back for anniversaries and would definitely recommend for other couples who are getting married in Delano!

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.

The Boat House
We were very happy with the accommodations! The smores kit, sparklers, sunscreen, bug spray, fire wood, extra propane and so much were so helpful! It was a beautiful place and we could have sat outside all day and night long!

Enjoy Lake Living - 20 Mins from the Twin Cities
Had a nice time. Wish we had more time to explore. We were there for work reasons so left before 6am and came home after 9pm. Seemed like a nice place to stay and chill. The shops were only a few mins down the road which was nice.

Maple Bay Getaway!
The property met our needs perfectly. The house was clean and easily accessible when we arrived. Fern and Daniel were extremely helpful and easy to work with. I highly recommended this property and would stay here again!

Fremont Cottage Lake Retreat-Close to Minneapolis
Absolutely loved our fall getaway at the cottage! Beautiful park and boardwalk paths to walk the dog around. We rented the pontoon and other toys to enjoy boat rides, fishing, and canoe trips to the island. And loved having fires by the lake at night, Was the perfect spot for a weekend away with the family before winter arrives!

Minnetonka Lake Front Stunner!
Absolutely beautiful home! The house is beautifully furnished and is stocked with all the necessities. The view of the lake is the highlight. Steve and Kama were available for any needs and were easy to work with. Looking forward to staying again!

Lakefront Getaway
Rachel’s place was amazing. My family had a great time, there was plenty of space for all of us. It was a quiet neighborhood and felt very peaceful. We will be definitely coming back.

Stunning Lake Home! 7 Beds. 4 Bathrooms. 3 Acres!
I wish I could give 10 stars. Super clean and fresh, plenty of towels, comfortable beds, plenty of available places to store our things, several outdoor seating spaces, beautiful view. A couple of minor issues that needed attention were handled and fixed right away. Questions were answered quickly. Our group was several adults and there were plenty of spaces so we could either be on our own or together. An amazing week and we’ve booked for next year.

Manor on the River, 7br, Hot Tub, Boat, & Jet Ski
This place on the river was amazing for our large party! Plenty of bathrooms and room to relax and spread out. We also loved cooking in the kitchen and relaxing in the hot tub! We’re already planning our next trip where we can spend more time on the river!
