Loved staying here. Comfortable and had everything we needed. Lots of room with 4 bedrooms so we all had privacy. Beautiful neighborhood. We went over to Lake Harriet and ice skated.

Nice property in great location. Drawback was no first floor bathroom and TV on first level didn’t function properly even after owner came to troubleshoot. A basic cable plan would be beneficial at this property.

Owner was a dream to work with. We are a hotel family and rarely stay at VRBO, but decided it was the best option when traveling for a family wedding. The house came with everything we could possibly need and the area was perfect to walk to the lake or shops to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner.

We had a great stay for the week in the Uptown neighborhood. We enjoyed walking around the lake, eating great dinners, and family fun just hanging and playing games at the house. Thank you for providing a clean and well-stocked home with all of the essentials and more!

What a perfect place to stay. Great location, great beds and linens and fully stocked house- including kitchen and bathrooms. Would definitely stay here again instead of a hotel on campus.

This space was really lovely and fit our large group well, we did not feel cramped and on each other's toes. The location is really incredible, making it easy to walk to the nearby Bde Maka Ska lake as well as all of the restaurants and bars in uptown. Would recommend this spot, it was really lovely and we would stay again!

The house is very conveniently located just two blocks east of Lake Calhoun. Grocery stores, coffee shops, drugstores all close by. Access to highways is easy. Situated on a quiet street, the house is very well equipped (kitchen, bathrooms, living areas). Communication with host was always prompt. Thank you for making it available.

The house was perfect for our short golf trip to Minnesota. The location was walkable to good restaurants and a short drive to downtown.

We had a wonderful stay that weekend with our family that included my wife, myself, three of our adult children, kids, and my wife’s parents. There was plenty of room for everybody and we love that it had a fully equipped kitchen. It’s an active neighborhood with many people walking, but still seemed quiet. The on street parking was perfect, as we pulled right up to the house and parked curbside during our stay. We really felt like we were staying in part of a community and it was great that we were only two or three blocks walking distance From a bakery, coffee shop, or grocery store. It was also nice to be able to walk three or four blocks to the lake! We had a wonderful weekend and would definitely stay here again!

The home was spacious and just as described. It was within walking distance to restaurants and shops making dinnertime after a long day so much easier. The beds were also incredibly comfortable. The host left a welcome note along with some chocolates which I thought was a nice touch!

Great neighborhood and home. We did not need to contact the host at all, because everything we needed was easily findable. The house has plenty of room for a family, as listed. Note it is a vertical house—4 stories, 3 staircases. Good handrails, easily traversed if stairs are not an issue. One bathroom is on the second floor and one in the basement—both generous rooms and the water pressure is excellent. Beach and walking paths at the end of the street and yummy restaurants 2-3 blocks away. We would absolutely stay there again.

This place is the best! Lots of care and thought went into making this place comfortable and lovely. Lots of steps made it easier to get our steps in! Just as beautiful as you hope it is and sparking clean. And the location cannot be beat!! The trails around the lakes!!!!! Loved everything about our stay.

Nice older house located by coffee shops, restaurants and a lake (2 blocks away). Street parking. Had a guessing game with friends as to where the 2nd bathroom was (basement) and 3rd bedroom (3rd floor). Good amenities, pretty much everything you would need. No back yard, nice front porch with a glider and table. Bathrooms completely remodeled and nice. Floors are super squeaky. Nice overall.

We loved the old home. The decorations were modern and beautiful. Loved the plants. Wished there was a bathroom on the main floor but the bathrooms were nice. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch. Thanks.

We needed a roomy, safe place to stay for our son's wedding weekend. This property fit the bill! Everything was easy to use and the kitchen was very well stocked. The house was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed all of the lovely plants. Everyone had space to spread out when needed but great common rooms too. We enjoyed daily morning walks around the lovely neighborhood. It was a very special weekend.

I stayed in this lovely house alone for several days and with lots of family for a long weekend and it suited us all. It is a lovely old house with great moldings and wood floors but all the right updates--nice kitchen brilliant bathrooms. The house has four levels: lower game room and bath with a wonderful walk-in shower, main with a spacious living room and dining room and a fully stocked kitchen, second with three bedrooms and another fully updated bath, and fourth with a large bedroom with two queen beds. Can't say enough good things about the hosts and their thoughtfulness for the needs of guests--warm throws for snuggling in the living room, plenty of towels and all kinds of supplies in the bathrooms, a kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need. High recommend!

The house was lovely and accommodated us perfectly. Our host Felicity had a beautiful vase of fresh flowers there on our arrival. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-supplied. After we checked out, something was found that was left behind by a family member and Felicity reached out to us to see if it was ours and we agreed on a simple solution to return the item. She definitely went above and beyond!

We had a very nice stay! Felicity was very responsive. We had difficulty getting in when we arrived (ended up being an unknown internet outage in the area affecting the lock system). I contacted Felicity. She immediately responded and had a solution. She investigated the reason for the difficulty and had a work around. The rest of the stay was lovely! Our kids (teenagers) thought it was the coolest house ever! 😊. The area is very nice. It was very cold when we were there, but that did not stop us from walking to nearby coffee shops and restaurants. Even got a run in on a very nice path around the lake. Would highly recommend this house and hosts if needing a place to stay in Uptown, MN.
