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.

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.

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.

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.
