"We loved our visit at this house! Being across the street from the lakes was so great with small kids. The house was clean and as pictured, however the floors were very loud/creaky since it’s an old house. We will be back!"

"Thank you for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you loved your visit and that the location across from the lakes was great for your small kids.

"We absolutely loved our stay here! It was the perfect weekend for me and my friend for a girls’ weekend. <br/>We loved sitting on the porch with coffee in the am, wine in the pm, and walking around the lakes. The master bed is much more comfortable than the queen bed - could use an upgrade on sheets and pillows. I ended up sharing with my friend in the master. <br/>House was perfect otherwise, would rent again!"

"This place was perfect for our long weekend stay with grandparents (upstairs bedrooms were no problem) and two toddlers. It was amazing to walk out the front door and have the lake right across the street. The sunsets were outstanding. The house was clean. The kitchen had everything we needed. It was everything we wanted and more."

"Loved our stay here! The location seriously can’t be beat — right across from the lake with so many fun things to do nearby. We were able to walk or bike everywhere, from coffee shops and restaurants to trails and parks.<br/>The house was super clean, cozy, and had everything we needed to feel right at home. Waking up to the lake view and being in such a lively neighborhood made the trip even better.<br/>Highly recommend this spot if you’re visiting Minneapolis — we’d definitely stay here again!"

"We had a great stay. Location is A+, excellent for walking and biking to restaurants and the beach. The house is on a somewhat busy road and there was quite a bit of traffic over the weekend. But Minnestay makes that clear from the listing and it was no problem for us with two small kids.<br/>The house itself was charming, we felt right at home. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice stay in Uptown."

"We had a great stay visiting family in Minneapolis at this lovely home right across the street from Lake Bde Maka Ska. The house looks newly renovated, in pristine shape and very cute. We walked around the lake and ate at three good restaurants in walking distance, Barbette’s, Lake & Irving, and Black Walnut Bakery. We also rented kayaks on the lake, the rental area is just a block away. Uptown is not what it once was but here near the lake there’s still plenty to do and see and great location to get pretty much anywhere else in the Twin Cities."

"This home was perfect for our family to stay for an extended weekend. The location was excellent with things to walk to and ever being about 20 minute drive away. Such a perfect central location with beautiful views from both bedrooms and living areas. Safe outdoor area for children to play with a fenced in area to alleviate any worries of traffic! Slightly elevated street noise on the weekend nights, but nothing horrible! All of the touches throughout the home were classy and everything was spotless clean."

Fantastic home across from lake

"This is an outstanding property. The owners did a nice job of taking a very old home and updating it with modern conveniences without losing the original feel. It was super clean, beds, shower, bathroom, and kitchen were awesome. They had a tankless hot water heater (which should be in every VRBO) and a brand new furnace. We hope we can stay here again soon."

"Our stay was perfect! We quickly settled in and felt relaxed and comfortable. All the rooms were bright and cheery. The lighting was well-designed, making it easy to control for family activities and quiet reading/TV viewing. The appliances were top-of-the-line and a joy to use. The early November chill was easily forgotten by the wonderful heating system that kept the house at a constant temperature with no cold or drafty windows. The location was ideal - situated next to Lake Bde Maka Ska created a wonderful view from the master bedroom and uptown shopping was only a few blocks away. This made running out for groceries/coffee very convenient. In short the amenities and very responsive support made our family very comfortable. We would definitely stay here again."

"I can’t say enough about how nice the house is and the location steps away from the lake can’t be beat. Porch sitting watching the sunset and having putting contest on the putting green provides lots of fun entertainment. <br/>Walking distance to great restaurants. Chilangro and Kim’s are both wonderful. Bike, canoe, kayak rentals close by. The office space off of the living room was perfect for anyone doing a working vacation. Best spot on lake Bde Maka Ska by far!"

Review

"The house itself is very clean, bright, and nicely decorated. The location is very convenient, close to the lake, restaurants, and other amenities. The property management was very pleasant to deal with. However, the house is on a lot at the corner of two fairly busy roads. Though quiet overnight, there is a steady stream of cars and pedestrians right outside your door and windows throughout the day and evening. The switches for the lights and window shades were pretty confusing. The only two ceiling fans in the house go off or on high speed (verified with the property manager that they could not be adjusted). That was really too bad in the summer in the upstairs bedroom. Welcome information about the property and area would have been really helpful. I gave the property a five-star rating because it really is lovely, but I don't think I'd stay there again."

Gorgeous property, right by lake

"We parked the car and didn't move it for our entire stay. Whole Foods less than a mile away, and another grocery even closer. Loved being so close to the lake, and a five-minute walk, if that, to rent kayaks. And yet it was quiet at night, and felt very safe. The house itself is beautiful, comfortable, and obviously well cared for. This place is a dream."

Perfect location for friends' reunion!

"What a beautiful spot on Bde Maka Ska close to trails, dining, shopping & coffee. Plenty of room for my friends and I to make this our "home base" for Art a Whirl weekend and we lucked out with the weather! House was lovely and so well equipped, and who could argue with the views/location next to the water!! We hit up our favorites, Rustica, Barbette, Majers & Quinn, and Curioso Coffee. Easy to hop on Lime bikes to get elsewhere in Uptown & Southwest. All in all a wonderful stay and the hosts were SO accommodating with early check-in & extra parking, thank you!"

We had plenty of space to comfortably relax and I loved the desk in the sunroom for the small amount of time I had to work while on our trip. The view of the lake was just beautiful, and visible from every room of the house. Minnestay was so helpful and so responsive. We would come back to this property in a heartbeat when coming back to this area."

"Our stay at Lakeside Lux was perfect for our family of 7. I was impressed the moment I walked in the door and looked around. My impressions continued to grown each day. Quality and character made this home really stand out. The home was very clean and the decor was simple and inviting. We all loved the patio area with the putting green and outside seating area. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of quality cooking supplies. The team was also very responsive and courteous to a small issue we had. <br/>We loved being so close to the lake where there were many opportunities for me to walk and our family to hang out and play. We had a very poor and unfortunate experience the last time were in Minneapolis at an Airbnb, but this house and Minnestay totally redeemed experience. We would love to stay here again the next time we’re in town."

"We decided to visit Minneapolis as a rest area from up north heading back to Chicago, luckily for us MINNeSTAY had availability at their Luxe Home. It was the nicest, most eloquent, perfect home for the Family. We immediately jumped into rest mode upon arriving enjoying the luxurious comfort it offers. The home created memorable experience for the Family. One of the treats we received was having accessibility of the lake within seconds. May relaxing recreating activities for more enjoyment and relaxation. Inside and outside the home is located in a wonderful community and was a win win situation for the Family rain or shine. It shined for us, no doubt about it. The home kept us rested, pampered, happy, and comfortable. The only disappointment we felt was during CHECK OUT TIME!!!<br/>Thank you MINNeSTAY."
