Heart of Lakes & Uptown -walk to coffee, lakes and shops + mins from MOA and DT

Awesome location in the heart of Uptown Minneapolis on a quiet residential block. 2 blocks walk to Bde Maka Ska (Lake Calhoun) and a few blocks to Lake & Hennepin shopping/restaurants. Super walkable and bikeable area, close to downtown and stadiums and 25 mins to airport and MOA. Walk to bike share and kayak/canoe/paddleboard rentals. I am a superhost with great reviews, my goal is for you to have a fantastic, 5 star visit.

As good as the pictures!

This space was really lovely and fit our large group well, we did not feel cramped and on each other's toes. The location is really incredible, making it easy to walk to the nearby Bde Maka Ska lake as well as all of the restaurants and bars in uptown. Would recommend this spot, it was really lovely and we would stay again!

Adorable home in fun, walkable area

Owner was a dream to work with. We are a hotel family and rarely stay at VRBO, but decided it was the best option when traveling for a family wedding. The house came with everything we could possibly need and the area was perfect to walk to the lake or shops to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Nice property in great location. Drawback was no first floor bathroom and TV on first level didn’t function properly even after owner came to troubleshoot. A basic cable plan would be beneficial at this property.

Great urban Minneapolis house

The house is very conveniently located just two blocks east of Lake Calhoun. Grocery stores, coffee shops, drugstores all close by. Access to highways is easy. Situated on a quiet street, the house is very well equipped (kitchen, bathrooms, living areas). Communication with host was always prompt. Thank you for making it available.

Perfect Spot for Our Weekend Trip

Great location, great property, and great owner, what more to ask? House was perfectly as advertised and great communication with the owner throughout and leading up to the trip. Being able to rent a house with a high chair and a pack & play made traveling with an infant for the first time a breeze!

Perfect rental home

Our family of 6 had plenty of space in the beautifully redone home. We loved the area; walked to dinner, ran and biked the trails around the lakes. We only had 2 nights here but would have loved to stayed longer. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was stocked. We had just been on a houseboat in Voyageurs National Park for 5 days so being able to do some laundry was an added bonus. Overall, would highly recommend this property.
