The house on lake Harriet was amazing! Beautiful views out of the windows of the lake and park. The house itself was in mint condition. Furniture, beds and amenities were spotless! Very warm and welcoming. We would highly recommend this house for anyone who wants to stay near Linden Hills and the lakes.

The house was great with all the details you could want. We had three generations there and it worked so well for us...right down to the available children's toys and books!I must mention that the location is the best "walk to town' we've ever stayed at- a wonderful collection of great shops restaurants and deep community- a couple minutes stroll away.

Can’t say enough about this beautiful spot. The home was spotless with a well equipped kitchen, lovely great room and comfortable beds in all the bedrooms. Linden Hills is a great area, so many nice restaurants, parks, and of course, Lake Harriet. Communication with the owners was very easy. Will be back for sure.

The layout and location of the house worked out great for our group of 7. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely, I enjoyed talking walks. We could walk into town for restaurants and shopping or walk the lake. Loved the big windows and some rooms gave us the feeling of being in a treehouse. So glad we chose this house.

Wonderful house in a Beautiful Neighborhood

Our family group of 3 adult siblings and their partners thoroughly enjoyed our 4-night stay. The house was set up beautifully - nice furnishings and amenities and the location was central to all our activities. Every morning we had a lovely walk around the lake, and we loved the deck view of the trees, park, and lake. I would definitely recommend a stay at this house and would gladly return!
