Peaceful tree top 2BR attic apartment walkout deck
Very nice walk-up flat, well-equipped. We chose this place because of its proximity to our kids' house, in south Uptown, near Bde Mka Ska (lake). Chris is a great host. He left breakfast foods for us, other necessary supplies, and plenty of towels for an 8-day stay. When there was a heating glitch, he was on it and had it fixed immediately. Clean, comfortable--a normal apartment, not all IKEA'd, or fancy. Lovely, quiet neighborhood. We recommended it to other family. That says it all.

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.

Lake Como Cabin
Amazing experience! We were very comfortable while traveling for business. The home has everything you could need and more in the kitchen. The home had such a relaxing cabin/lakeside feel. We extended several night from our reservation we were so relaxed. Jeff is a great host. He was very friendly and great to work with!

Comfy retreat, 3.9 mi to downtown MOA-M
Edith's place was fantastic! It comfortably accommodated our group of eight, with plenty of space for everyone to relax. The house itself was beautiful, and the surrounding area was lovely. It was also in a great location—just a short 10-minute drive to downtown Minneapolis. As a group of college students attending a conference, we were mindful of noise levels since that seemed to be an important consideration, but we had no issues. While there is just one shower, it wasn’t a problem for us—we just planned accordingly. Overall, we had a great stay, and I would definitely stay here again!

Lake Life Meets City Vibes
Our stay was great, everything was super cozy and clean. I had a lot of work to prep for an event and a small space like this was very convenient which got a lot of my work done quicker! Also very nice & informative hosts!

Mid-Century Modern Lake Retreat w/ Sauna
Not sure what to say that hasn't already been said. The place was fantastic. I grew up in the 70's and 80's and this was a blast fron the past on steroids. Allison the host was on point from beginning until the end and always helpful. The cabin overlooking the lake with a walk down trial to the fire pit was straight out of my childhood memories. Everything was just top notch. Definitely would come back. 5 star rating across the board.

Lake Harriet Gem | Vintage Charm + Modern Comfort
My stay at this Lake Harriet home was awesome. The space is big, has really great decorations and has a cool style while maintaining comfort. My favorite parts are the original wood details inside the house And the bedrooms with nice designs and super comfortable beds. I woke up early to explore the area and felt quite safe taking a short walk to lake Harriet and utilizing the easy walking paths around this quiet neighborhood. I was able to spot a couple nice coffee shops and grab some delicious breakfast at a nearby bakery. I also saw a few parks that I definitely will come back to explore on another trip. Oh and the host, Ben, was super responsive, thoughtful, and proactive to give me all the good tips and secret spots of the locals. He was quick to respond to my questions about the house and the neighborhood. The house was spotless, peaceful, and had a lot of amenities that were above and beyond the average rental. I will definitely be returning and bringing friends!

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.

Nice & Cozy Apartment walking distance to Up-Town
This place is perfect size, and curated really nice. Walking distance to a coffee shop with an incredible work space. Well thought out studio by the owner. Everything was great.

Private upper unit (Apt B) near Beaver Lake
I was on the road for 23 hours before finally arriving at Tina’s. It was my first time to Minnesota and I am very glad that I chose her place for my family and I. It was peaceful, clean, quiet and very homely. We slept so soundly. It felt as though I hadn’t left home in how at peace we were. Tina responded to any queries I had promptly. I was clean, the kitchen is well equipped, and the bathroom is very clean. The only downside for me was that I didn’t book her place for a longer time. I am definitely going back for a longer visit. If you’re still reading this please book already before someone else takes your dates. You won’t regret it one bit! 😀

Treetop guest apartment by the lake
The location was great. We like being by the lakes and had stayed in the Linden Hills area before. Kevin’s place is just a block from the Bde Maka Ska so there are lots of places to walk or ride your bike. There is on street parking right outside the front door. Kevin and Sue were exceptionally hospitable and went out of their way to make our stay more enjoyable. The apartment was immaculate, quiet and dark at night. The walk in shower was great. The kitchen was well equipped, although we did not use it, choosing to go out to some excellent nearby restaurants instead.

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
We had a great stay at Jodi's place! It was very clean and just as described. The five beds and 3 baths were perfect for our group. The location was great, and we enjoyed taking walks/runs around the nearby lakes. We would recommend checking out BRIM just around the corner. Jodi was a great host! she was responsive and helpful in answering our questions. I would recommend this stay!

2 BR Light + Modern Apartment in Lowry Hill
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!!

Lake Como Retreat - Lake & Park Views by Lux Life
I enjoyed my time here. Great location with a beautiful park right across the street. Kari was very accommodating and easy to communicate with. I would recommend this spot anyone!

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!

Carriage house with private garden
Laura is such a thoughtful and gracious host! The carriage house is absolutely charming - bright, spacious, peaceful, and private. I felt extremely safe and comfortable throughout my stay. A perfect cozy winter weekend hideaway!

Charming Lake Cottage w/ Stunning Views
Some friends and I stayed at Jessica’s cottage for our annual reading retreat. The space was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. It is the perfect mix of feeling cozy with plenty of space and a gorgeous view of the lake. Jessica was a great host and communicative. Whether coming together for a weekend with friends or spending a week with family, I’d definitely consider Jessica’s place again!

Cottage on Prior Lake with SPECTACULAR view
Great space for an extended family stay. Enjoyed the great patio spaces, beautiful lake with kayak, well appointed kitchen, and large dining table and living room. Main floor was very accessible for family with a walker and they were able to navigate the few steps to the main patio too, but would be nice to have the main bathroom shower upgraded some day to be a more accessible walk in shower (there is a walk in shower upstairs). Host/brother very responsive to a few questions that came up.

Park Place Cottage
Tim's place was perfect for a large group! The kitchen had everything we needed and there was plenty of room. I really liked that there were night lights throughout to help with getting around without turning all the lights on! We had plenty of wood for the stove and we also enjoyed the outdoor fire ring! Thank you!

Cozy Downtown WBL Cottage one block away from lake
This was my second stay with Sheri. The cozy cottage is great. I stayed there alone but had family visiting every day and occasionally someone would stay overnight upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped for home cooked meals. The furnishings are comfortable. The location provides easy access to the lake, walking trails, and the amenities of downtown White Bear.
