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!

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.

Historic Luxury 2-BR, FREE Parking!
Apartment was perfect for our family weekend getaway. Lots to do around the area. Host was super responsive and friendly. The apartment was extremely clean and welcoming. Parking was easy to find/access with plenty of spots available. Would definitely stay again.

Cedar Lake Beach - Klimt Country Romance
Allison's place is magical! We stayed for a couple of months just after moving to Minneapolis, during our housing search. Her space is quaint and cozy, exactly like the pictures, and the building is true to its original character in its decor as well. Allison was a fabulous host -- she stocked the apartment well with fruit, coffee, and snacks for our arrival, and in general, we felt we always had what we needed during our stay -- a variety of cookware, cleaning supplies, additional linens, etc. We had no issues at all except for a minor plumbing one, and Allison had it resolved within a couple of hours. We loved the location - it is across the street from a beach, which seemed like a well-used, vibrant community spot. We spent time on the beach while it was swimming weather, and walked along the paths around it almost every day with our dogs. It was especially picturesque as the trees changed color and weather cooled. We loved our stay here and would gladly stay again!

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.

Lake Como Retreat - Lake & Park Views by Lux Life

Midcentury Lake Home!
Great location with lots of space for several families!

Private Queen 1 BR Apartment in 4 BR Lakeside Home
Steven's place on the Lake is a hidden gem in a suburb of Minneapolis. The yards in the neighborhood are all 1 acres and on a dead end street which provided extra privacy. Even tough he lives upstairs I never really heard him. We really enjoyed all of the water foul! There are 2 beautiful swans,geese,ducks and sea gulls The patio has a table and a rocking bench. There is a dock that can be accessed by walking down stairs. Steven has literally though of everything you might need for your stay from spices to toiletries to charging ports. Communication was perfect. The shower has great water pressure and the kitchen area doubles as the laundry room. I felt like I was back in the 50s as far as how the decor goes. Keep your eyes open for lots of cool things! The only down side is a musty smell that is most noticeable upon entering.

Year-round enjoyment with all the comforts of home
I was looking for a peaceful place to rest and renew and it was perfect. Extremely clean and had everything we needed.

Stone's Throw from St Croix & Downtown Stillwater
Enjoyed the stay, plan to recommend to others. Would stay again. Hosts are responsive and helpful.

Heavenly Acres
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving stay with our extended family at this property. The spacious house was perfect for our gathering, with plenty of room for everyone to relax. We especially loved watching the comings and goings of hundreds of Canadian geese, trumpeter swans, bald eagles, herons, and other birdlife from the large picture window in the main room. I've never seen anything like it! Staying here in the winter, we especially appreciated the working fireplace, which made the common area feel warm and inviting; a perfect spot to gather and spend time together. The fully equipped kitchen made preparing family meals easy, and the large dining table was perfect not only for sharing meals together but also for playing games afterward.

Victorian Modern, on the Mississippi River
There was a lack of communication from the start, but once everyone was on the same page, we were fine! The beds were very comfortable and the place was spacious for the 4 of us.

Lakefront hideaway in the city
Colleen was a very helpful and gracious host. The accommodation was lovely with a lovely view. Would recommend!

Riverview House: Hot Tub, Kayaks & a Sunny Fish
Great space, spotlessly clean, well designed for big groups like ours. Lots of gaming options inside and comfortable outdoor spaces. Lovely river view! Kitchen work area is narrow, but the extended space and counters around it gave us enough room to cook and visit. Appreciated the extra fridge and storage area near garage. Really well stocked with kitchen items and small appliances. Beth was responsive and available if needed. Loved the country feel of being on the river but minutes from shopping and museums of the city!
