This was by far the best stay we have had as a family and the property far exceeded our expectations. We experienced proactive and helpful communication from Ben and Amber, although we had zero issues! Check in was a breeze after a long journey. Each space was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and had everything required to get us settled in. The indoor living space is wonderful and the outdoor space is a peaceful retreat. You could gather in a variety of spaces and each provided a unique experience. Every amenity was as described. Each bedroom was lovely and extremely comfortable. There were too many special and unexpected touches to list! We hope to return when can wrangle our family together again in beautiful Minnetonka, MN.

WOW! We couldn't have been happier! The location is convenient and easy to find. There are both walkable and easily drivable eating options and it is close to a grocery store & Target. This is a very quiet neighborhood which we enjoyed walking around as our time allowed. As for the house and the hosts, we only have positive things to say. The house is very tastefully decorated with just enough, which is a bonus to the spotless furniture, comfortable beds, pristine linens and stocking of everything a person could possibly need when staying at an Airbnb. They also provide an array of food items which was a first for us in staying at an Airbnb. We had strawberries, raspberries, eggs, toast, beverages, condiments just to name a few. The yard is beautifully landscaped. There are games & a detached game room in the back portion of the garage. The hosts have simply thought of everything to make ones stay amazing. Thank you for everything, we will be back.

Great place, great stay with my multi-generational family. Lots of space for gathering and being apart. Beautiful interior and lovely backyard. Amber was one of the best hosts I have ever had the pleasure of staying with!. She thought of everything and her communication was fantastic!

Amber is an incredibly thoughtful host. We have stayed in her home twice and both times were blown away by how relaxing and family friendly she has made the place. Super comfortable and high quality!

The four of us loved our week-long stay! The home is beautifully furnished like a home you’d live in (not cheap / sparse like many Airbnb’s). The beds were comfortable and I liked being able to choose between a soft or firm pillow. We appreciated being able to relax in multiple places and cook our meals in a large, well-equipped kitchen. The Vitamix was a nice surprise! We managed to survive the week with only one bathroom :)
The neighborhood is fantastic; walkable, charming and safe and close to shops and restaurants and two beautiful lakes to walk around. Cute Farmer’s Market on Saturdays and no need to worry about where to park. Loved being able to park off-street in the garage or driveway.
Amber is a very professional host and I liked not having a list of chores to complete before checking out. Someone even came during the week to roll the trash bin to the street. The 1pm checkout was nice.
Overall a great stay and a great representation of the best of Mpls!

Beautiful home, everything was thoughtfully designed to make your stay comfortable. My kids loved playing in the backyard, and toys provided. We visit the Twin Cities often and will be back!

Great property and wonderful hosts. The downstairs area was private and a good space for kids to play. The outdoor area was nice and spacious. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet. The home is well provisioned and the hosts really went above and beyond to make the stay comfortable.

As much as I’m tempted to gatekeep, I won’t. Don’t delay, just book Amber’s place. I’ve stayed at 5 other MSP airbnbs and hers is by far the best. She has thought of everything (down to ziplocks in the kitchen - thank you!). The house was great for our son: lots of toys, a park around the corner, and a closet filled with kid accoutrements. Beds were comfortable, design of the house was lovely, plenty of space for us to spread out and relax. And you can’t beat walking distance to Rosalia and Wild Rumpus. Thank you for a great stay!

What a great place! We were very comfortable here and Amber was an excellent host. The house is very attractive and clean. Amber even left a lot of breakfast items and coffee.
This is a great location! Walking distance to several wonderful restaurants and 2 lakes.

Where do I begin? This home deserves 10 stars! I’ve stayed in quite a few AirBnBs & this one checks ALL of the boxes. Don’t hesitate, just book it. Amber is a phenomenal host - incredibly friendly & beyond thoughtful with everything she has put into this home. Her generous welcome gift of food is spectacular along with the stocked teas & coffees, and her supply of kid equipment & toys is the absolute best. She even helped me find a local egg hunt for my kids while we were in town! The decor in this home is so warm, comfy, and very high-end. There’s no shortage of dishes/silverware, blankets, amazing pillows, and great towels here. We thoroughly enjoyed using the 2 car garage as well.
My kids loved the park right across the street & playing in the sandbox in the backyard. This neighborhood is beyond peaceful. We loved walking down to Wild Rumpus for a fun shopping experience, Sebastian Joes for great ice cream, & explored the nearby lakes. I would absolutely & happily stay here again!
