Great house in nice location.

We enjoyed the house and location. Just beware that there are multiple levels and lots of stairs to navigate. The full bath rooms are one floor up or one floor down. There is a tub shower in the upstairs bathroom that would be difficult for an elderly or person with physical disability to get in and out of safely. Slippery and no grab bars.

Spring Break Getaway

We came up to the Twin Cities for our high schoolers spring break and to spend our college students birthday. He attends U of Minn. We did an Escape Game, visited Minnesota Zoo, saw St Paul Cathedral and Wabasha Street Caves. The house was in a great central location. There was plenty is space. Really like the Lake Harriet area vibe. House was super clean and plenty of extras.

Cozy home

Host was easy to get ahold of whenever we needed to. House was very cozy and had everything we needed. Did an excellent job with cleaning up the snow before we got there. Even surprised us with a bottle of wine. We will definitely stay here again when we come back.

Very Nice Property

Very nice property - clean, well equipped and in very nice neighborhood. Ben, the host, was very responsive during our stay to a couple of questions. The property is on a relatively busy street and is on a flight path for MSP. While sitting on the front porch was noisy, the inside of the house was relatively quiet. We enjoyed our stay and would stay at the property again.

Such a charming place!

I absolutely love this property! It has so much character and charm. Ben is super responsive -- I think he responded in a minute after I hit 'send.' The house is a couple blocks from Lake Harriet and all kinds of dining -- definitely try Rosalia, I may still be recovering from their drinks! The master bedroom has a King bed - there are two full tv rooms. And there's a shower here that is HGTV-worthy, and something I want in my home! My only regret: That my trip was so short. Definitely coming back!

Great house close to Lake Harriett

We had a group of 4 adults (1 couple, 2 singles). The house worked very well for our group. We walked to and around Lake Harriett several times during our stay. Also walked to restaurants and Turtle Bread Bakery for great breakfasts. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. Plenty of towels. Having the washer/dryer was great to have available.Would stay again.

Great house with room to spread out

This house was a fantastic find. We had figured it would be more space than our family of four would need, but as it turned out we loved having the space to spread out so comfortably, with lots of cozy nooks. The house was immaculate, well furnished with modern decor, and well equipped with everything we needed. And the location can’t be beat, walkable to fantastic shops and restaurants, parks and of course the lake. Highly recommend.
