IT'S COOLER here in Minneapolis so get out of the heat & book your summer visit NOW!

ABOUT: "The Cottage" is Minneapolis' 5-star accommodation located in a quiet, safe South Minneapolis neighborhood with its small town vibe and Minnesota Nice attitude. The Cottage is a one-level-living home — NOT a condo, duplex or apartment — and includes one garage space. Walk to Lake Nokomis, Minnehaha Falls, locally-owned restaurants, breweries, bars, bakeries, coffee and fun shops. The Cottage is sandwiched between our beloved Minnehaha Falls/Park & Lake Nokomis and is situated in one of the VERY most popular locations in Minneapolis/St Paul. The Cottage is perfect for couples, professionals and those traveling solo— especially women.

DID YOU KNOW? The Cottage was filmed for HGTV featuring its creative use of space within a small footprint.

LOCATION: Close to the Mall of America & major highway thoroughfares makes getting around Minneapolis/St Paul and surrounding suburbs almost effortless. Close (but not too close) to MSP International Airport makes it an ideal location for International travelers and guests with close travel connections.

Walking distance to Minnehaha Falls/Park and Lake Nokomis. The Greenway and an intricate system of paved bicycle paths is just out the door, which intertwines through Minneapolis/St Paul and the surrounding suburbs. Guests are encouraged to explore what Minneapolis/St Paul is MOST known for — The City of LAKES!

METRO TRANSIT: Is one block away with access to The Light Rail/Blue line, which whisks guests to US Bank Stadium, Twins Stadium, Downtown, MOA & MSP. Guests can switch to The Green Line to access St Paul.

OUTDOOR: The Cottage hosts a private lounge/patio area w/pergola, canopy and fire table surrounded by mature organic gardens and herbs. Comfortable, oversized outdoor furniture beacons guests to relax and enjoy our Minnesota Nice weather most of the year. 🙃

The Cottage is designed by the Norwegian owner with clean, contemporary, functional Scandinavian influences. Vaulted ceilings, sun tunnels and unique lighting add a bright, open, spacious feel. The Cottage hosts one bedroom w/ queen bed and high quality mattress. The living area hosts a comfortable sofa, chair and large television with all the channels including FREE Netflix & Amazon movies. A fully-equipped kitchen hosts a kitchen island w/seating for 2, refrigerator, range, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, dishwasher and pantry. There is also a desk with 2 work stations. A compartmentalized closet has plenty of space for guest's belongings. The spa-inspired bathroom hosts a shower w/grab bars, heated bathroom/fan, large lighted mirror, storage cabinet and washer/dryer.

Note: The Cottage is ONE-LEVEL living with NO STEPS, which makes it convenient for everyone -- especially those with physical limitations.

THE NOOK: The Cottage also includes "The Nordic Nook", which provides a private separate detached heated/cooled space adjacent to The Cottage where guests can do yoga, artwork or crafts, watch television, work or take a nap. It is perfect for couples traveling together who may want time alone.

The Cottage consistently provides a clean, safe, comfortable “home away from home” experience with a Minnesota-Nice attitude.

Peaceful Special Place
My husband and I stayed at Carolyn's adorable cottage for 4 nights this past weekend. The patio and Nordic Nook are such peaceful and relaxing spaces and the cottage is stunning. We walked to and around the lake twice. We are looking forward to another stay while we visit family in the area.

Excellent place to stay!!
My husband and I stayed here for 4 days and had a wonderful time! Everything was perfect and more than we could ever want in a place. We are local so this was a bit of a staycation for us and we were able to relax and have time together. It also allowed my husband to work in the Nordic nook while I had time to myself. Would love to stay here again!!

Third stay at this charming location
Three stays say it all. I have stayed in many VRBO locations around the World and this one is in my top five. There are only two improvements I can think of 1. A better mattress or bed. 2. Snow removal at hours of normal human wake hours. Host is very helpful when it comes to check-in, check-out and additional information durning stay. This location is close to airport and has varied local shops that are fun to experience. Check out local hardware store.😊 Great visit and we will be booking this location again!
