SaraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Thank you for a charming and comfortable place to stay. We stayed for a month. Lots of fun places to go nearby. Great sunsets! Cute little place with everything we needed. Felt very homey, very quiet, nice lake location. Safe. Neighbors yards are really messy but that didn't bother us. Host was really nice.

MSP/Mall of America/Pond View with garden oasis

SuzanneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Kelly’s place was perfect for our needs. The two living areas gave us plenty of room to spread out, which made the stay especially comfortable. The view of the pond was peaceful and beautiful—a lovely backdrop. Everything we needed was provided, and the space was clean, cozy, and well-appointed. The workspace was also ideal for a member of our group. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely return!

Spacious Home| Lake Minnetonka| Downtown Excelsior

OlayinkaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Hasan’s Airbnb was an incredible experience! From the moment we arrived, we were wowed by the spacious interior, which felt much larger than expected. It was perfect for our group retreat, offering multiple comfortable areas for deep conversations—the deck, upstairs patio, and dining room all created a welcoming environment. Parking was easy, fitting our three cars without issue. One of the standout amenities was the grill—we used it twice, and it made for such a fun way to cook meals together and bond. The home was clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully designed. We also appreciated the games, like air hockey and corn hole, which added to the experience. Hasan himself was an exceptional host—communicative, accommodating, and kind, granting us extra time for checkout. His hospitality made all the difference, and we truly felt at home. We’d 100% stay here again and highly recommend Hasan’s Airbnb!

We stayed at Andrew’s place for our dynasty league draft and the garage was a perfect space for this. Plus the amount of room in the back yard was perfect, fireplace was huge, and plenty of seating for us all. He was also incredibly quick to respond and worked with us when we had questions.

Lakefront hideaway in the city

MeganRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had a wonderful stay at Colleen Louise's place and felt like home. Pack your bags and everything you need is there for you. The pack n play and high chair were great for us as we were traveling with an 8 month old. Colleen Louise was very responsive and was an amazing host! Would definitely stay again when in town visiting family.

Boho-chic home by Lake Bde MakaSka; Fully stocked

PattyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We we’re looking for a certain place as we were traveling as a family with a 12 yr old and a dog and we needed to have a break from our demanding lives/jobs: close to the Harriett/Bde Maka lakes because grandparents live here, walkable, safe bicycle streets, things to do with our 12 yr old, places to take our dog for walks, fenced yard, garage to store our bicycles, and it had to feel like home. We got all of that and more at the Boho House. Our hosts were amazing. At some point we needed a heater (we’re from Texas ;)) and our host got us what we needed pretty quick. The place was exactly what the pictures showed. It was clean and beautiful, loved the boho decor. Loved the natural light in the living area and one of the bedrooms but at the same time felt private. We were able to cook some meals but we also got to enjoy the restaurants from the area. The coffee table has a binder with great recommendations. We plan to come back next year and definitely would like to stay here again.

Charming Uptown Home - A Walkers Paradise

We had a great stay at Nancy's place. It was the perfect base for our stay in Minneapolis. I particularly appreciated being so close to the lakes for daily walks, and Uptown is centrally located and has a variety of restaurants and grocery stores. The home was very comfortable and located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood.

Vicki’s place was absolutely lovely. We stayed for a family wedding and could not have asked for a nicer space of more helpful host. We were 3 couples and had all we needed and more. Vicki accommodated us in several ways, from early check in to quick response to a few questions we had. We’d stay again!

Fabulous place with walking trails by the river right across the street. Very cozy bed and linens. Well stocked kitchen and welcome snacks- always a nice touch.

We spent three nights in this home when we serenity town for Lyndon’s wedding. There was plenty of space and lots of beds for our family. It was important to me that we had enough space and bathrooms for everyone to get ready and to be able to relax. This was the perfect house. Christy was very flexible with me about checking in and out. I highly recommend this property.

Mid-Century Modern Lake Retreat w/ Sauna

CheriRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
So much better than a hotel - my family put together a puzzle, had a fire by the lake, played games with laughter and privacy, Grampa took a nap on the screen porch, money saved by cooking and had fun doing it in a kitchen ready for anything! Everything we needed was there and more- plus labels made even light switches clear at first glance! The best comment was - "I could stay here a week!" - and the photos will be memory keepers of birds in the trees and deer across the lake and mostly my family caring for one another.

Lakefront Family Retreat

ToniaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
April's house was very spacious and comfortable. It was accommodating for our family size of 16. Lots of games and activities were available for the kids. The kids enjoyed themselves. The Christmas tree was a plus for us to place our gifts under. Response time to emails was almost immediate which allowed things to go even more smoothly. I would definitely book this house again and it is highly recommended for large groups!

The house fit our needs perfectly. All rooms and appliances were clean and there was ample furnishings (large dining room table, nice dining room chairs, plus plenty of foldable chairs for extra company). The biggest treat was a lovely backyard with plenty of tables and chairs to host our entire family, in a very quaint environment. Very quiet neighborhood with parks and walking trails in the near vicinity.

Put the all of the minimalist Airbnbs to shame. This is a maximalist home. There is not a bare shelf to be found and it is far from boring. So much to look at! The home was also quiet, clean, and comfortable. Nice places to sit.
