Guest suite in Excelsior

Spring Paradise | Priv’t Entrance | X Cleaning Fee

JulieRating, 5 starstoday

We enjoyed a wonderful girls weekend at Mark's place. Very comfortable surroundings- Mark and Donna have been thoughtful about their furnishings and the little extras included in this property. Coffee for the morning, plush bathroom towels and comfy beds and spotlessly clean throughout. Mark was very responsive throughout our stay - and their dog Winston was a special bonus - such a sweet pup. We enjoyed watching the deer visit the yard in the morning as well as a dip in the hot tub. Excelsior has some great restaurants to visit (Maynards, Parlour, Lagos Tacos) as well as fun and varied shopping. A wonderful area to visit. Mark's place is a fantastic value - hope to return in the future.

Home in Waconia

Charming Historic Haus - Located downtown Waconia

JessicaRating, 5 stars5 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.

Apartment in Excelsior

Cozy Excelsior Hideaway

SharonRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

This was a very nice place for me and my mother to stay while visiting family and going to activities in the area. The apartment is spacious, nicely furnished and decorated, and super clean. It was easy to park and get into the apartment and "walker friendly" for my mother. Andrew was very responsive and helpful. We enjoyed the spring flower show at the MN arboretum and lunch at Maynard's in Exelsior. The home is adjacent to highway 7, so there is some traffic noise, but that was not a problem for us.

"Natures Suburban Get-a-Way"

JackRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I can't say enough great things about our stay at Jim and Lisa’s place! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and at home. The space was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and stocked with everything we could possibly need—from extra towels and kitchen essentials to thoughtful touches like a welcome basket and local recommendations. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed, yet tucked away in a peaceful setting that made it easy to relax. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring we got a great night’s sleep every night, and the outdoor space/balcony/view was a beautiful bonus! Communication with Jim and Lisa was seamless. They were always quick to respond, super friendly, and provided fantastic local tips that made our trip even better. If you’re considering booking this place—do it! You won’t be disappointed. We’re already planning our next visit!

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. We had an issue with the beds and they fixed them the same day which I thought was pretty amazing!! I would highly recommend this house for location, comfort, cleanliness, quite neighborhood, and beautiful home.

Cottage in Waconia

Lake Cottage-Family+Friends+You! Summer is coming!

AnnaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This was the nicest and cleanest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. We stayed for a quiet weekend celebrating a friend’s birthday and will absolutely be back as soon as we can. The home was spacious and comfortable for a group of seven and one dog. Views of the lake were gorgeous and the home was stocked with everything we could need.

Lake Sweet Home

LisaRating, 5 stars3 months ago

This place was perfect for a girls’ weekend. Super close to Water Street shopping and wonderful restaurants. The gathering area upstairs was large enough for us to spread out and chat or play games. Lots of laughter this weekend — a trip we won’t forget.

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!
