Guest suite in Excelsior

Look no further | Private entrance

JulieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We enjoyed a wonderful girls weekend at Mark's place. Very comfortable surroundings- Mark and Donna have been thoughtful about their furnishings and the little extras included in this property. Coffee for the morning, plush bathroom towels and comfy beds and spotlessly clean throughout. Mark was very responsive throughout our stay - and their dog Winston was a special bonus - such a sweet pup. We enjoyed watching the deer visit the yard in the morning as well as a dip in the hot tub. Excelsior has some great restaurants to visit (Maynards, Parlour, Lagos Tacos) as well as fun and varied shopping. A wonderful area to visit. Mark's place is a fantastic value - hope to return in the future.

Home in Waconia

Charming Historic Haus - Located downtown Waconia

JessicaRating, 5 stars6 months ago

What a fun and unique place! The historic vibe gives just the right touch to a quaint town experience. Cute boutiques and restaurants within walking distance. Lola's on the Lake was perfect this time of year and the wineries in the area were absolutely beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again to enjoy with our family.

Cottage in Waconia

Cozy Country Cottage

DavidRating, 5 stars3 months ago

I used the cottage as a workplace while needing to be near the little town of Waconia. Imagine that this rental is incredible from spring through fall. Plenty to do around the area in winter as well. Bed is super comfortable. Will probably rent again for my next work assignment there.

Apartment in Excelsior

Cozy Excelsior Hideaway

SharonRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This was a very nice place for me and my mother to stay while visiting family and going to activities in the area. The apartment is spacious, nicely furnished and decorated, and super clean. It was easy to park and get into the apartment and "walker friendly" for my mother. Andrew was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed the spring flower show at the MN arboretum and lunch at Maynard's in Exelsior. The home is adjacent to highway 7, so there is some traffic noise, but that was not a problem for us.

"Natures Suburban Get-a-Way"

PamelaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The location was perfect and very close to downtown excelsior and surrounding areas. The home was inviting, comfortable and updated. It felt cozy and had amenities to meet all our needs. We loved the private backyard and wish the weather would have been better to enjoy the outdoor fire pit. I highly recommend Jim and Lisa’s home and hope to be back next time we visit the area.

Apartment in Carver

Riverside Getaway | Downtown Apartment above Cafe

DanielleRating, 5 stars1 week ago

This was my first Airbnb and Luke made it wonderful from start to finish. The space was even more beautiful in person, and everything down to even small details made it really lovely. He was incredibly supportive and responsive throughout. I could not have asked for a better experience. We plan to stay again and highly recommended to anyone considering. The coffee shop below was amazing and very friendly. There were food trucks close by and the location is 20-30 minutes away from anything and everything you’d want to do or would need. Very happy with our choice and grateful to a wonderful host and beautiful space!

Lake Sweet Home

LisaRating, 5 stars3 months ago

This place was perfect for a girls’ weekend. Super close to Water Street shopping and wonderful restaurants. The gathering area upstairs was large enough for us to spread out and chat or play games. Lots of laughter this weekend — a trip we won’t forget.

Excelsior Cottage

JdRating, 5 stars7 months ago

I recently stayed at an Airbnb in Excelsior, and it was a fantastic experience. The location couldn't have been better, with the property situated just a short walk from the downtown area, full of great restaurants. Being so close to Lake Minnetonka was a real highlight—it's perfect for walks, boating, or just enjoying the views. The host was very welcoming and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property itself was clean, well-maintained, and had a homey feel. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy all that Excelsior and Lake Minnetonka have to offer.
