The host was amazing. There was a bottle of wine, some cheeses, crackers, grapes and some cookies waiting for us when we checked in. The house is comfortable, clean, well restored. The steam shower was incredible. Outside of having some more/better cooking utensils and knives (which is a small thing), this place was great. To top it all off, on the morning of our departure we had some amazing pastries dropped off to us from the bakery a few blocks away. HIGHLY recommend this house! ##### Jeremy H.

The location is great and the house had plenty of accommodations for us and great spaces to hang out. Rupinder was easy to communicate with and very friendly. Unfortunately we did not do the chef and music experience, but i'm sure that would have also been a great time. The City is fantastic and we took full advantage of the easy-to-walk-to lake and Uptown from the house ##### Joshua W.

The home was great for a family gathering for events we had scheduled in Minneapolis with the homes location near downtown. It is winter but for spring/summer the back deck/patio needs some attention. The house offering is not worth the value of the rental but when considering it's location that helps overcome the high cost. We were pleased with our decision and property manager Rupinder was great to work with. ##### Jeff T.

The location was ideal as it was in walking distance for our littles to the play area and beach on the lake. The house was large enough for our whole family to have their own spaces, with living areas and bedrooms so everyone could spread out. There were two dining areas adjacent to the kitchen so we all could have a seat at a table. The beds and pillows were comfortable, although the comforter in the main level bedroom was quite warm for summer. Rupinder was responsive and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would enjoy coming back again. ##### Betty E.

We stayed here during our wedding, with a large group of friends, many of whom were meeting each other and seeing Minneapolis for the first time. The location was a perfect introduction to Minneapolis—guests went for walks to the lake, nearby cafés, Uptown restaurants, and the Bakken museum. The quiet, beautiful neighborhood showed the residential side of Minneapolis. After a dinner Downtown, it was an easy bus ride back home. It was clear Rupinder isn't simply "maintaining" the house, but continually enhancing it. We appreciated little touches, like the recent furniture, thoughtfully chosen artwork, extra towels, ample dishes, and gardening. Perhaps most importantly, having five bathrooms kept everyone on time. ##### Brent J.

It was a PERFECT place to spend an extended period with space for privacy (our nanny loved the top floor studio!) and also plenty of space to commune. It had everything we needed from high-chair to wine glasses to plenty of linens to kitchen stuff to cook. The house itself was GORGEOUS both in terms of its bones (beautiful hardwood, elegant staircases, built-ins, high quality and not at all loud HVAC) and also how it was decorated. And there was a porch swing! Where the kids loved to sit and read books and watch thunderstorms roll in. Rupinder was fabulous - above and beyond. When our grocery delivery came earlier than expected he was there to receive it and put it in the fridge (it was 90 degrees out!). He left a gorgeous and delicious welcome plate and answered my random questions via text quickly and even came over to help when I couldn't get the washer worker (doh! user error! he was so gracious with my silliness). We hope to make this an annual visit as we loved the house and neighborhood and Rupinder's attention to detail and having a top-notch experience. Next time we hope to take advantage of his chef skills! ##### Leslie H.

It was also no more than 20 minutes away from just about everywhere we wanted/needed to go (airport, Paisley Park, Minnehaha Falls) and about a 2-minute walk from Minneapolis' largest lake. Best of all was our host, Rupinder, who was responsive and went over-the-top on any request we had. A true highlight of the trip was our superb culinary experience with him, when we hired him to cook a delicious meal for our entire group, inside the home. Highly recommended. ##### Scott F.

The house is well appointed, cozy, and yet quite spacious. It was perfect for our large group. It’s location is convenient to lake Bde Maka Ska, as well as several restaurants and shops. Communication with the rental manager was prompt and helpful. We really appreciated the welcome charcuterie he thoughtfully provided. Excellent experience overall! ##### Rosemary C.

The house itself is exactly as advertised with many comfortable bedrooms, a beautiful patio, and a main level perfect for a group of friends to gather. Rupinder is very communicative before and during your stay so you know your in good hands if you need any extra support (our stay went off without a hitch!). We will be using this property again for future trips to the Twin Cities ##### Nick S.

This house accommodated our large family easily. Large common spaces and nice bedrooms/bathrooms. The owner was gracious and accommodating. Really can't ask for more. ##### John P. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michelle B. 20 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This was a well stocked and appointed home. The host was fantastic and very responsive. The inside of the home was very clean, the beds comfortable, the small touches throughout were perfect for the space. A couple of items to note:Our host was phenomenal. His customer service was spectacular and above and beyond what I had expected.The kitchen and bathrooms have several great products that are stocked throughout. The steam sauna is actually a steam shower in the master bedroom. It is of great quality, but not a sauna in a common space.There is not a hot tub, as listed on the description. There is, however, a 2-person jacuzzi tub in the main floor bathroom.There were coffee and great teas provided for our use. It was so appreciated! In addition, there was a delicious charcuterie board and bottle of wine greeting us upon arrival! It was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by our party!There is so much to do within walking distance. We enjoyed the lake, as well as restaurants and shops in the area. Parking was a breeze. There were two areas in the front, as well as two slots in the back for parking, which is difficult to secure in the area.The only reason that I did not give a full rating on the cleanliness of the property is due to the outside. There are several weeds that need to be sprayed, or pulled, on the back patio and curb. There has been a lot of rain in the area lately, so I understand it might be something that crept up on the property owners. ##### Michelle B.

There weren't many homes available in the Twin Cities to accommodate our group size, and this house was perfect. Lots of space to spread out and each have our own rooms and wonderful common spaces like the kitchen, dining room and living room where we held our meetings. We enjoyed the house so much, we only went out to dinner once. We mostly shared meals in the beautiful, landscaped backyard. The location couldn't be beat. We walked around Lake Bde Maka Ska on breaks which was just a couple blocks walk away. Grocery stores were a two minute drive. Rupinder was such an excellent host, he left us a home made treat when we arrived and had left some beverages and snacks to start our visit off right! He was always available for questions, but we also had our privacy. We all slept well in the comfortable beds and nice linens. Everything we needed was provided - from towels and shampoos/soaps to all the stuff you would need in the kitchen. We had a productive meeting and a blast cooking and gathering together in this beautiful home. A gem in the Uptown area, I would highly recommend this home! ##### Natalie B.
