"Great home and location! It snowed and there was an amazing sledding hill right down the street for the kids. Spacious, comfortable home - good for a group to come together."

- Matthew And Katie

Host Response:

"Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the home and its location — and that the snowfall turned into a bonus adventure for the kids. It’s great to know the space worked well for your group to relax and spend time together.<br/>We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us and would love to welcome you back anytime!"

"Wonderful home right on Lake Harriet Parkway. Great neighborhood with friendly neighbors, beautiful safe home and right on The Lakes walking/running/bike path.<br/>Had a power outage and Minnestay was very helpful to address concerns on a Saturday! Great company to work with.<br/>Our family highly recommends this home and this company as well. Worth noting the third floor master has no door or closure from second floor area-open stairwell—was great for us but may be an issue for some groups. Loved the home and yard and even a wonderful piano. Hope to stay again when we return to Minneapolis. Thanks so much!"

"So happy we picked this beautiful, comfortable and well-appointed home for our long weekend stay visiting family in Minneapolis. <br/>There were 5 of us staying at the home — the two of us grandparents, plus our daughter, son-in-law and our 3-year-old grandson. Our son, daughter-in-law and their two young children live nearby and came over each day to visit, play, and enjoy meals together.<br/>The home is beautiful, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is almost ridiculously well-appointed with everything you could possibly need. Beds very comfortable.<br/>The location in one of Minneapolis’s most lovely neighborhoods was just perfect! Lake Harriet is right across the street; each day we all enjoyed strolling there. The Lake Harriett bandshell, with a fantastic playground, is about a 20 minute walk (3 minute drive). <br/>Communication with Minnestay was always prompt, personable and helpful."

"We drove from Florida for a 5 night stay for a wedding and the house was perfect for 5 adults. Me my wife and 3 young men 18,18,21. The house felt just like home to us and we really enjoyed being right across the street from Lake Harriet. We went to many of the areas big attractions like the Mall of America,Paisley Park,Sculpture Gardens all were within a 30 minute drive which was great. We really felt comfortable in the home and thoroughly enjoyed our time in Minneapolis and this home was a Hugh part of the reason why. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home.
