Great location, very comfortable home that had everything we needed. We appreciated having a garage and were able to walk to a great coffee shop, restaurant and parks in a nice friendly neighborhood.
We enjoyed the Cozy Cottage. It was as advertised. It was clean and comfortable and everything worked. The location was perfect for us. We had great communication with Heather and Ed.
I booked this for family to stay at during the holidays. Ed was a great communicator about some updates going on at the house and made sure everything would work for us still. The house was perfect for hosting a large group and had a very well stocked kitchen.
Met some friends from the internet here for Twin Cities Con, as we hosted a panel there together. Had an absolute blast. What a great location, close to everything, but far enough away where it's still quiet. Definitely staying here next year!
Visiting Minneapolis for a wedding with our adult kids - this was the perfect home base for our trip. The home was spotless, and in a great neighborhood for walking and grabbing a coffee at the local cafe.
We spent an entire month at Grandma’s Cottage and found it to be very comfortable. It is well stocked with anything you might need and then some. The hosts Heather and Ed are super helpful, responsive and friendly.
This was our second time staying at grandmas cottage. The hosts are incredible with having our needs met. It’s an easy checkin and checkout process. The location is great and the home is very comfortable. These grandparents will stay again when we want to visit our grandchildren that live in the same neighborhood. Thanks for a perfect stay!
The house was nice and in a great location. We had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and most everything was clean. I took off one star because of the dusty dining room table and kitchen.
Perfect description for the listing. Cozy, comfortable, clean. We enjoyed sitting out back since it was so warm and sunny. Great location with easy access to downtown. The owners were great communicators, quickly answered our questions and were great to work with. Happy to say we will book this again for our next trip to visit my nephew at UofM
Grandma's comfy cottage gave us a fabulous place to be together for my daughters graduatuin weekend. We had a relaxing Saturday. The location allowed our daughterand her friend to visit and walk to local shops. The space allowed some to play games while others relaxed watching tv. Would recommend and may be back considering she has no plans to move yet!
We were the first Grandma and Grandpa to stay at Grandmas cottage. We were so happy to find this home within a few blocks of our 4 year old granddaughter. This allowed us to watch our granddaughter and let our daughter have some well deserved free time and time with her husband. The owners are very accommodating. All of our needs were met staying in their cared for home. Location is great to get anywhere in the Twin Cities. Beds were comfortable and the house is clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this sweet home.
The house was very cute and quaint. We appreciated how clean it was and the host accommodating a last minute change in our dates.
We were not fond of the location. We also did it find the yard/fire pit to be usable as it was very dirty (table and chairs) and yard had no privacy or warmth. Not to mention the tree with falling walnuts every few seconds.
This house was perfect for our stay! So cute and cozy! Loved the dining room table- perfect for meals and games! The living room was perfect for family time and movie nights! The location was close to other activities in the cities that we were able to enjoy. The only issues were the doorknob on the upstairs bathroom came off from the inside and needs to be tightened. The fire extinguisher needs to be charged to be up to code and usable. I would recommend adding some air freshener or an exhaust fan to the bathrooms to make them more friendly for large groups. :)
This house was perfect for our needs. We were in town for a funeral, and this was exactly what we needed for some wind down time after family/funeral events. Road can be a little loud at night, but was not bothersome for my kids- therefore not bothersome to me. Main room seats 7 easily and comfortably. Hardest thing was appeasing the 1 yo, 8 yo, 9 yo and 4 30-something adults on one TV.
Check in was easy and exactly as described in the emails. We had no need to communicate with host- that’s a good thing.
If needed, would stay again without question.
Ed and Heather were very helpful and knowledgeable with questions we had. Grandma’s cottage was furnished with everything we needed and in a great location close to everything
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
We really loved that it was like going to our grandma's house. Felt like home. A nice walk to Utipils which we enjoyed a few nights. Easy drive to shopping and bike rides around the lakes. We also liked the little pizza place down the street.
