We were so impressed with this stay! The home was spotless, beautifully updated, and thoughtfully stocked with absolutely everything you could need. The host was kind, responsive, and made everything so easy. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Exactly as pictured. Clean, comfortable and great location between Wayzata and Excelsior. Kitchen had everything you could possibly need.
I’m sensitive to smells/scents and this Airbnb was fresh / no chemical cleaning product smells or mustiness. Thanks for a fantastic stay!

Amber’s place is amazing! Spacious, clean, and stocked with all the amenities for a great stay. Walkable to excellent restaurants, coffee, and the beautiful lakes of Minneapolis. We loved the spacious bedrooms, and the house has multiple spaces to sit and enjoy the surroundings both in front and back of the house. We really appreciated the ability to park in the garage. Would love to stay next time we are in Minneapolis and definitely recommend to anyone considering a place in Minneapolis. Amber is proactive in thinking of the needs of her guests and really made us feel at home.

This was one of the best air bnb stays we have had! There was so much for my toddler to play with and it was so nice having all the supplies we needed for a little kid. Beautiful house and beautiful location!

My family (my husband and our 1 year-old and 3 year-old) had a great long weekend stay here visiting nearby family. The idea of recreating home when away from home is always daunting to me (especially with wiggly toddlers who need safe spaces) but we got cozy right away in this beautiful home. Really appreciated all of the toys, bath toys, baby gates, crib, and high chair. The fact that it is right across the street from a lovely park and playground is unmatched. Would love to come back! Also the kitchen is so gorgeous I came home and rearranged mine to be similar 😂

If you’re considering Amber’s place, it’s a must book! The location was incredible, a stones throw from a massive park (playgrounds, soccer field, baseball, tennis), walkable to many restaurants, shops, public library, and of course Lake Harriet. 15 mins from airport, downtown, MOA, como zoo, the location truly can’t be beat. The neighborhood is safe and quiet with so much character - we loved our daily walks. Amber also thought of everything a family would need, from high chair to stroller to toys and toddler plates/spoons/forks, and toddler gates, we felt right at home — and that’s hard to do when traveling with kids. Another thing we loved, it had everything you’d need to cook (and more). There were thoughtful touches everywhere in the house and the backyard was the perfect size. A truly unforgettable week in my now favorite Airbnb. The only thing missing: her pictures don’t do the place justice!

This is the best AirBnB I’ve stayed in! I brought my young family and it was perfect for us. It was incredibly family friendly without being kid-centric. Everything I needed as there if I wanted it, but it wasn’t cluttered with kid stuff. Amber’s communication was excellent and i would absolutely stay here again!

We had the most wonderful stay at Amber’s home in Linden Hills. The location was top tier for young kids — there were tons of books and toys, so we felt right at home. The home is beautifully renovated and everything was amazing!

This place was absolutely magical for my family and I! We have stayed in numerous airbnbs over the years and this one just felt different. Everything was so cohesive throughout the space, each room felt cozy with thoughtful details. We will definitely be back! Hopefully in the summer to enjoy more of the lakes and the trails that are nearby!

Ben's place was a great launching pad for our visit the the Minnetonka Area. We found everything was in it's place as described, and since we were traveling with toddlers, it was very safe for our kids (1 and 3yo). They provided two pack and plays, a monitor, bedding, and mattress pads (which is a nice touch as PNPs can be hard to sleep on for kids who like their beds cozy). They even brought over a high chair for us for our littlest one and dropped it off at the door. Ben's place was spotless and minimal, but furnished and fun for kids and adults to lounge in. The beds were very comfortable, and the bedding like clouds. Great updates to the home, and we even got snow for our visit which is rarer in wintertime anymore. It made for a charming stay and we loved his recs, especially for the indoor playgrounds nearby. I'd happily recommend this airbnb again for any family with young children, as it was easy to stay in and the host was friendly and responsive. Thank you, Ben and fam!
