BethRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Mark and Donna, along with their beautiful dog Winston, were amazing hosts. We were looking for a very low-key weekend. They checked on us and made sure we had the information we needed about the place but otherwise left us to enjoy the time there. The place was great with lots of QR codes for instructions on how to use things. And the beds were super comfortable too. They were also very gracious hosts. When washing the dishes, we accidentally chipped a bowl and they gave us no fuss about it. Thank you so much Mark and Donna for a great weekend getaway.

Charming Historic Haus - Located downtown Waconia

JessicaRating, 5 stars6 months ago

What a fun and unique place! The historic vibe gives just the right touch to a quaint town experience. Cute boutiques and restaurants within walking distance. Lola's on the Lake was perfect this time of year and the wineries in the area were absolutely beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again to enjoy with our family.

Cottage in Waconia

Cozy Country Cottage

DavidRating, 5 stars3 months ago

I used the cottage as a workplace while needing to be near the little town of Waconia. Imagine that this rental is incredible from spring through fall. Plenty to do around the area in winter as well. Bed is super comfortable. Will probably rent again for my next work assignment there.

"Natures Suburban Get-a-Way"

PamelaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

The location was perfect and very close to downtown excelsior and surrounding areas. The home was inviting, comfortable and updated. It felt cozy and had amenities to meet all our needs. We loved the private backyard and wish the weather would have been better to enjoy the outdoor fire pit. I highly recommend Jim and Lisa’s home and hope to be back next time we visit the area.

Beautiful location and home, so close to everything and very walkable. The house is immaculate clean and have everything you need for a nice stay. Also, Donna and Peter were very responsive.

I would highly recommend this house for location, comfort, cleanliness, quite neighborhood, and beautiful home.

Vacation with Staycation Vibes

Amanda's place was a comfortable place to relax and enjoy some quiet time before the holidays. In addition to the amenities listed, we also enjoyed a couple beautiful sunrises over the lake and its proximity to local restaurants and coffee shops.

Guest suite in Victoria

Private Space By Lots of Great Restaurants

MonicaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Jim's place is an extremely good deal for what you get. The space was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We greatly appreciated the thoughtful attention in providing an impressive selection of toiletries, coffee pods, snacks, and games/puzzles. It was very helpful to be able to walk to nearby restaurants since we had driven a 26' moving truck to the Airbnb and didn't want to drive it to town. There is a beautiful lake, park, and waking paths nearby in the safe and pleasant community of Victoria. Communication was easy and prompt. We had an excellent Airbnb experience!

Heron House ~ Elevated Vintage Downtown Victoria

5 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviews2 weeks ago

The house was absolutely as charming as the photos depicted, with a spacious kitchen, luxurious upstairs bathroom, and comfy living area. We stayed through a bit of a cold spell and the place stayed nice and cozy. The hosts were responsive to any questions and made sure to reach out ahead of time if there was any information I needed (like garbage day). The house is also located a short walk away from the center of Victoria, so it was always easy to drop out for a quick cup of coffee or bite to eat.

Tranquil Nature Retreat at Ches Mar Homestead

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviews2 weeks ago

It was TRANQUIL and I loved that it backs right up to Minnewashta Park that has many trails to hike down to the lake. The beds and linens were very comfortable and we slept well in the quiet solitude. There was plenty of space both indoors and outdoors for little ones to play. The outside propane grill worked well and we BBQed most our meals using it. It is well maintained with clean new carpets. We really appreciated that Sabrina was kind enough to supply some toys and play kitchen for the children. They loved the bunk beds and made forts with the extra blankets. Having a washer/dryer in unit is a big plus when you are staying more than a week, especially with little ones.

4.73 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews7 months ago

We had a lovely weekend here with our 90 year old grandmother and 6 children. This is a beautiful home with a stunning view, the sunrise was exceptional. We also discovered an amazing vineyard just 7min away. We had beautiful bonfires right by the water and had an incredible time together, we would love to come back if we are in the area again and if God allows. We highly recommend this place to anyone, it truly is a gem!! Thank you to Tracy for her kindness and help with everything!

Elizabeth’s place was very nicely decorated and comfortable. She was responsive to any questions and was accommodating to my timing of check in. Great stay even though we weren’t there much to enjoy the beautiful deck and view. I would rent again!

Casita Excelsior

JdRating, 5 stars7 months ago

I recently stayed at an Airbnb in Excelsior, and it was a fantastic experience. The location couldn't have been better, with the property situated just a short walk from the downtown area, full of great restaurants. Being so close to Lake Minnetonka was a real highlight—it's perfect for walks, boating, or just enjoying the views. The host was very welcoming and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The property itself was clean, well-maintained, and had a homey feel. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy all that Excelsior and Lake Minnetonka have to offer.

MINNeSTAY* Carlow Manor | Nature

BrianRating, 5 stars4 months ago

Our family had a nice stay here while our home was being repaired. Our sons particularly enjoyed fishing off the dock on the lake and we enjoyed the well supplied kitchen. Minnestay was very responsive and when there were some maintenance items they were quick to respond and the person who repaired things was friendly and resourceful.

We had a wonderful stay and loved the accommodations! The apartment was beautifully decorated, spotless and a short stroll to the adorable town of Excelsior!! It is located in a very nice neighborhood dotted with beautiful historic homes and walking distance to Lake Minnetonka and the park that overlooks the lake. Kris was very responsive and gave excellent recommendations for sites to see and places to eat. Would definitely recommend staying here and exploring the area!

Cedar House Retreat

This was our second time renting this house and it did not disappoint! We were in town for a funeral and Stacy was nice enough to allow us to have our extended family over after the funeral. The space was perfect for our group, indoor and outdoor.
