Other Details to Note

We have a strict no-party policy - violations will result in immediate removal (I am always happy to discuss any small gatherings before your booking to see if we can accommodate!). We do have exterior security cameras & noise sensors for security purposes. Various animals can be found intermittently on property including but not limited to frogs, snakes & bats. Harmless bugs such as box elder bugs, lady beetles and stink bugs occasionally make their way into the house, depending on the season and weather. Gas fireplace in basement available. NO fires in main level wood burning fireplace per homeowners insurance. There is a soffit in a small part of the basement, just FYI in case you are very tall! Exterior furnishings and game room are available May 1 - October 15. NO OUTDOOR FIRES beyond this window, as the exterior water is shut off and there is increased fire risk.

Our stay at Ben and Amber’s little oasis exceeded all our expectations. They are both thoughtful, responsive hosts and the house is absolutely gorgeous. No detail missed and every detail is impressively well thought out. Rare to see a design executed this well. It made for a perfect getaway with our family. Can’t wait for our next trip to Minnetonka!

We loved staying at this house! Ben and Amber were such great hosts. Very accommodating and friendly. This house had so many things on hand for our baby that we found so helpful. The linens and furnishings were so luxurious and the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and more. I highly recommend this place.

This is an exceptional home with absolutely everything you could need available to guests. We traveled with 3 small children, and this home had everything we needed to keep them entertained and comfortable-- from toys and books and crafts to our preferred baby bottle detergent and every pack-n-play ever needed. This home also had everything my wife and I needed. We enjoyed the nice linens, comfortable beds, and a thoroughly clean home. The complementary foods and waters were also a huge help on arrival. We'll definitely book with these guys again.

I rent around 20 Airbnb homes per year for work, and Ben’s house has by far had the most and best-quality amenities. He truly goes above and beyond—part of his welcome is offering guests their favorite coffee and asking what we like for breakfast. The home stayed warm and comfortable even on two mornings when it was -10°. Ben is extremely responsive and easy to work with.

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!

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!
