Wonderful excelsior cottage
This is our third visit and we continue to love spending time here. The cottage is spotless and meets our needs very well. The location is great with lake views and easy walking distance to parks and town. We always try to stay here when we visit our son and grandchildren.

Best girls' retreat ever!
Three friends from grad school who had not all been together for >20 years met on the shores of Lake Minnetonka for a quiet winter (yes winter) retreat! This house was a perfectly cozy place to hang out, with beautiful areas for walking, and downtown Excelsior, with great food and shops, was 2 blocks away! It was perfect. I can imagine how great it is in the summer!

About the host

Host profile image
Excelsior is charming and has the feel of a small city rather than a suburb. Some of our favorite pass times are sailing, boating, biking, walking, antiquing and playing with our 2 dogs in the huge park across the street.

Why they chose this property

We love the quiet small town feel but Excelsior also becomes busy and fun for family and friends during the summer. The 4th of July is a big event here and this home is right in the heart of it. A
