Welcome to LakeHus - Luxury Urban Lake Home on coveted Lake Minnewashta
The LakeHus spaces have been designed accommodate up to 14 ppl (legit beds) comfortably with two spacious bedroom & en-suites, two additional upper level bedrooms as well as a super fun lower level bunkroom. Lakehus offers something for everyone from shuffleboard, poker, reading nooks, sundecks, chess, puzzle, movies, golf, water sports, beach life and gourmet cooking - truly nothing has been overlooked. In addition - there is a charming beachhouse offering additional living and sleeping space hovering over the waters edge.
Our home faces east - you will wake up naturally to some of the most amazing sunrises you have ever seen. Approximately half of our 742 acre lake is not occupied - we are known as a more "chill" lake than our nearby well known Lake Minnetonka - which we all love for different reasons. The roots of Lake Minnewashta vary in a different way! Our lake is known for waterskiing - complete with a resident managed water ski course along the north shore. We are also home to one of the most well know YMCA camps - Camp Tanadoona and most recently the fall / winter Sauna Camp which is an easy walk in the winter from Lakehus when the water is frozen.
LakeHus is located just minutes to downtown Excelsior 8 min, Wayzata 20 min, Lake Minnetonka 10 min, Hazeltine National Golf Club 10 min, in addition to a number of other well known private and public courses. We are also walkable to well known The MN Landscape Arboretum 1 mile and approximately 30m to Mpls / SP International Airport. There are boatclubs nearby as well if you choose to want to rent your own boat for a fun day excursion.
We offer concierge accommodations upon request including but not limited to: chef prepared meals, grocery delivery / stocked refrigerator, captain for a Nautique surf boat is an additional service based on availability, 120' of lakeshore with full access to non-motorized recreation including kayaks and paddleboards.
This is NOT A PARTY house. We are in a residential neighborhood and we will only rent to those who will respect the solitude of our lake. Quiet hours are respectfully 10:30pm - 7am.

Every single thing about our experience here was a 10/10. The host was incredible accommodating and the house was spectacular. My husband, the pickiest traveler was raving about the quality of everything in this rental home. This is a rare find.
We were there for our daughter’s wedding. The place is fantastic!!! Love the set up. 2 master bedrooms. Lots of room. Two laundry rooms! Game room, fun basement bedroom for a large family! The putting green is great, The area down by the water is a fun place to hang out. You will love this place. The owner is great to work with and the place is above and beyond incredible!
