Tonka Bay

What a lovely place to stay! The pictures do not do the place justice. We had some family stay here with us who were from out-of-town and enjoyed being close to both Excelsior and Wayzata. Lot's of gathering spaces to talk and catchup. Beautiful spot! Thank you!

Relaxing stay on Lake Minnetonka!

Our family had a wonderful stay on the lake at this home right on the water. The views of the lake are fantastic and my daughters enjoyed their time on the dock, swimming in the lake, and out on the water on the boat that we rented. The home is spacious, which enabled everyone in our family to have their own bedroom and a place to unwind. Angela was an exceptionally friendly, responsive and accommodating host - we would highly recommend this property!

Amazing Lakefront

Our family recently spent a wonderful week at this beautiful lakefront home! It is immaculately kept and has every possible amenity you could need. The dock was perfect as we were able to rent a boat and keep it right on property. The communication from Angela was awesome and she was incredibly responsive if there was anything we needed. Highly recommend this gem of visiting Tonka Bay!

Friends and family visit from uk

Amazingly well kept and looked after property, everyday was a joy to wake up in such a great spot, we hired a powerboat from Boatsetter and foiled right off the front where the water was still warm in early October. Thank you so much for everything!

Gorgeous Lake Minnetonka

My family of 5 traveled to Minnesota to visit family for a few days. We opted for a lake property as my husband wanted to rent a boat. The house is beautifully decorated, fully stocked and quite spacious. We arrived at the end of boat season and unfortunately couldn’t find a rental. We spent a few days inside due to the rain and were kept entertained with the board games in the bonus room. Beds were quite comfortable. Owner was very responsive. So much to do in close proximity. Looking forward to renting this unit again!

This home is absolutely amazing! It has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with all the essentials, including cooking supplies, beach towels, fans, and water toys, to name a few. The screened-in porch was the perfect place to unwind after a day in the sun or to relax while listening to the rain. The sunsets from the property are breathtaking. The water off the dock is clear and free of weeds, making it a great spot to swim, float, or enjoy a lily pad. We highly recommend this home and can't wait to come back!Kris
