"Probably the best Air BnB I’ve ever rented. The house was pristine, well stocked and comfortable. Have stayed in Minneapolis before but enjoyed being a little farther removed from the city. This house is nestled in a quiet neighborhood with a beautiful view of the creek. The home was decorated for Christmas which was a pleasant surprise. Will definitely stay with Minnestay again on future visits."

Amazing Time!

"Our grandma owns a house on Lake Redstone but is getting too old to host our entire family - myself, my husband, our 4 year old, 2 year old and my mother-in-law, so we rented this to stay during our visit. We were beyond happy with our experience. Not only is the location phenomenal, but it was very clean and had EVERYTHING you could want during your vacation. Trampoline, bounce house and TONS of toys to keep the kiddos occupied. BONUS - we rented their boat as well and had a blast! Would definitely recommend staying here, we hopefully will be again next summer!"

"The home was just as described or advertised by Minnestay. The groceries stores, gas station, banks etc were just a few minutes away. It’s quiet and lovely. We were able to easily navigate our way around the kitchen and the house. I especially appreciated that the mattresses were firm and good. <br/>I would recommend putting blinds at the lower door and, the door leading out to the terrace/deck. For some of us who worry about safety. Lastly, we couldn’t find a rice cooker. 😀<br/>Mt guests we’re happy with their stay snd, we look forward to renting again in the future.<br/>Thanks,<br/>Caroline G."
