1 block to Cedar Lake/Hot Tub/Ultra Cozy

CarolynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Nice house in a beautiful neighborhood. We loved the neighborhood which was full of interesting architecture and the lake walking path which was so close. It was an easy drive to a grocery store and some restaurants. Easy access to other parts of the city we wanted to visit too. The house was very clean and had nice bedding and towels. Everything was functional.

Private Queen 1 BR Apartment in 4 BR Lakeside Home

DebbieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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.

French 2nd Empire Mansion - Wedding HQ and 4 Baths

MaryRating, 5 stars3 months ago
There were four couples, and we each had our own bath and bedroom. It was so great to be able to get together in the morning and have coffee and look at the beautiful view. In the evening we sat around in the living room and chatted. It couldn’t have been more perfect for us. And the beds were very comfortable!

Private modern home near Minnehaha Falls

MikeRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Cute little spot. The bed and linens were A+. I slept so well. Mark reached out beforehand to make sure I knew how to get in. It’s refreshing to have a host that feels like a real person connected to the space and not someone who owns 30 other properties and feels like a corporation.

Walk To Falls | Close To Everything | Fenced Back

CatherineRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Andrew's place was exactly as described! Easy to find. Easy to get in. Very clean. Tastefully decorated. Comfy bed. Nice towels. Good water pressure in shower. Easy pull down blinds to make it dark for sleeping. Easy to set thermostat. Comfy sofa and chair. Sidewalk on both sides of street. Very quiet, safe neighborhood. Snowed while we were there and somebody shoveled the front walk, which was wonderful. We always found a parking spot right out front, but alley access and parking were convenient too. Good access to where we wanted to go and what we wanted to do in Minneapolis/St. Paul. Easy directions for check-out.

Discover the Treasures of St. Paul

GailRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The home is older, however, the host has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. We were in town for a funeral and Andrea was very accommodating. The price, along with the flexible cancellation policy were the reason I chose this property. I would stay with her again.

I have absolutely nothing but praise for Wendy and her place. Explicit and clear directions and instructions, and an inviting and immaculately clean place helped make this weekend stress free. We didn’t forget anything, but if we did, Wendy had everything ready that we might have forgotten in the unit. Highly recommend!

Sunny & Airy Uptown Apartment with Timeless Charm

DonnaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Was even better than pictured and described. Clean and cozy. Felt very homey. I loved all the real plants and that the apartment was well equipped and well stocked. The apartment was equipped with quality furniture, linens, consumables and appliances and kitchen equipment. For once I didn’t feel like I was staying in a place furnished and equipped at Target or Walmart. Loved it.

The staff went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. From the warm welcome at check-in to the thoughtful recommendations for local attractions, everything was perfect. Highly recommended! The cleanliness was impeccable. Every corner of the room was spotless, and the amenities were well-maintained. It felt like a home away from home. Situated in the heart of the city, this place made it easy to explore everything nearby. Restaurants, shops, and public transport were all within walking distance. Couldn’t ask for a better location! The property has such a relaxing vibe. The interior design is modern yet cozy, and the outdoor seating area was a great spot to unwind after a long day. Will definitely stay here again! This place offers excellent amenities at an affordable price. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations for the cost.

Your guide to Minneapolis

All About Minneapolis

Denser and more vertical than its Twin City sister, St. Paul, Minneapolis is a dynamic contemporary city where art and culture rub elbows with parks, prairies, and the Mississippi River. To know Minnesota’s most populated city is to spend time in its diverse neighborhoods, each with its own distinctive vibe.

Downtown you'll find major sports stadiums and Nicollet Mall, where the city's major retail shops are decked out in tall glass windows. The 57-story IDS Center Tower overlooks the area and is also home to its own businesses in an urban park setting. Head a block west and you’ll stumble upon the Hennepin Avenue Theater District, home to the theaters that populate downtown with their bright neon signs, welcoming you to a late-night show. For wandering around, make sure to take advantage of the interconnecting Skyways (elevated walkways) to determine where to head first.

Just outside downtown, the North Loop is a former industrial zone now packed with the city’s buzziest restaurants, clothing boutiques, and hip cafes. A stroll over Stone Arch Bridge takes you to St. Anthony West, the oldest neighborhood in Minneapolis, with cobblestone streets lined with brick buildings showcasing upscale restaurants and trendy bars. If you’re craving a patch of green space from which to take in the fresh Minnesota air, Minneapolis Chain of Lakes Regional Park lies on the edge of the city and features miles of paths for biking and wandering along the shorelines of five lakes.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Minneapolis

With proper planning and lots of clothing layers, Minneapolis is a great year-round destination. Although winter can be brutally cold, it’s an excellent time to ice skate and cross-country ski in local parks or visit one of the many museums. Spring can get a bit soggy, but it is lovely to see the city wake up from its winter slumber. June through August is bursting with energy and festivals, including the Stone Arch Bridge Festival, which draws artists and musicians to the riverfront. The long hours of sunlight will also give you plenty of time to fit in plenty of hiking or swimming. This is the busiest time of the year, so keep that in mind when booking your Minneapolis vacation rental. In the fall, the temperature drops, and the leaves begin to change into brilliant shades of gold and red. This is a great time to visit some of the city’s scenic spots, go apple picking, or even catch a live football game.


Top things to do in Minneapolis

Stone Arch Bridge

Built for the Great Northern Railway in the 1880s, the Stone Arch Bridge is the second-oldest Mississippi River crossing in existence today. With its 23 Romanesque arches, which make it look more like a medieval European bridge than a railroad trestle, this iconic structure is now a pedestrian bridge connecting the historic neighborhood of St. Anthony Main and downtown.

Mill City Museum

Located along the Mississippi River, this museum was built among the ruins of an old 19th-century Minneapolis mill that blew up in 1878. The museum focuses on educating visitors about the mill’s role in the growth of the city. You can also ride the Flour Tower, a narrated freight elevator ride that will take you through the mill’s floors and give you a glimpse of what it was like that fateful day.

The Indoor Skyway

One of the unique things about Minneapolis is its system of interconnecting elevated walkways. Designed to clear up congested sidewalks and create additional retail space, the walkways have the extra benefit of protecting people from the harsh weather. They now also serve as vibrant public areas complete with art installations, cafes, and shops. As you walk through the nine miles of walkways, it sometimes feels as if you're walking in a hidden city within a city.
