Beautiful home!
We stayed here for two nights for our wedding and the location was perfect, being just a few minutes from downtown excelsior (and our venue). The house is absolutely beautiful and completely renovated. Very light and bright! Nathan was quick to respond to all questions I had and the check out process was the easiest we’ve ever had with a stay! Thank you for being so laid back and flexible. It made the stay even more enjoyable.

Great Stay
Good accommodations for 6 adults. Very comfortable, clean home. The beds and linens comfy except for the twin beds, not good for adults, maybe fine for kids. The house has up to date amenities, two bathrooms, floors, new appliances, kitchen, very nicely finished lower level. Easy check in. Didn’t have to communicate with owner, that’s how easy and accommodating it was. We did not cook but it seemed like kitchen was fully stocked with everything you would need to cook. Washer and dryer available. Great location to Excelsior and freeways. Would stay there again.

Great Stay for a Wedding Weekend
The property was exactly as advertised! Newly remodeled split level in a nice neighborhood, very close to Excelsior. Beds were very comfortable. There were plenty of linens, dishes, cooking utensils for the stay. We couldn't have asked for a better home base for our daughter's wedding. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean home in a great location
Updated and clean house in a great location. We were in town for a wedding but very close to Minnetonka lake. Kitchen was well stocked, beds were comfortable and plenty of towels. The only thing I would suggest is to maybe add a few extra blankets. Highly recommend for future renters.

Excelsior Fun Stsy
We thought the decorating and comfort of the home were great. Easy contact with owner. Would up the game on your cleaning service. Moldy coffee grounds in the coffee pot, crumpled sheets in the linen closet rather than folded so not sure if clean. Bathroom floor a bit in need of cleaning. Regardless, would stay there again.

This place was so spacious and homey. Had everything we needed for a family wedding weekend. Would highly recommend staying. Close proximity to Excelsior and all Twin Cities areas. Could use a sheet and towel upgrade. Carpets need replaced and baseboards were dirty in many places, but overall enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay if looking for a get away to the lake! Check in was super easy. Coming and going was breeze, even with a boat. The house is very nicely updated. Allowing pets was a big one for us! Made our trip so much more enjoyable. Will stay again!!

Great home and location
Was an older home that owners had put a lot of work into updating. Was very clean with exception of bedding on queen bed...old, torn sheets with stains and dried blood. 😆 Homeowner was very responsive to one minor issue with AC fuse We loved the walkable or bikeable location to downtown Excelsior. We would definitely stay there again.

Stayed here with my adult daughter who was attending a conference. House is clean and well appointed in the inside. Outside was a little under maintained but the location was convenient. A great value for how cute the inside is set up!

Great Property, Great Owner
Super easy check-in with great owner communication. We were in town for USA hockey nationals. I had questions about location and distance to rinks which the owner answered immediately. If i ever head back to MN, this would be at the top of my list for places to stay.

This was a anniversary trip for my husband and I. We spent a week in MN and loved it all! The house was clean, comfy and well maintained. We enjoyed having the fireplace lit and just relaxing. The foosball table was so much fun...even if my husband beat me! A full size coffee maker would be a nice addition. Highly recommend this property!
