This property was absolutely charming and comfortable for our family of 6 (adults)! We loved having a view over to the lake and park.Will look to rent again if we have plans in the future in the area.

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I would love to welcome you back anytime.
The house was supremely well-appointed. Loved the extra pillows and blankets in each room. Loved all the sizes of pots and pans and the glassware for storing. Loved the piano and the holiday decorations. Loved the easy access key pad. Loved the clean space and extra table and stools to use. Loved the easy access to Como Lake walking paths.
The house was adorable. Nicely updated. We liked the location across from the lake and the park. We enjoyed sitting on the front patio and friendly neighborhood. There was a band at the park one evening and also water activities available on the lake. Great location !!
We had such a nice stay- had come to have Christmas with family and Dao had put a Christmas tree for us! So thoughtful and with the well-equipped kitchen, it was just perfect!

Thank you Kimberly for your wonderful review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay and I would love to welcome you back anytime.
Beautiful home & extremely clean. Absolutely loved the kitchen & wish we had it at home! Loved that it was next to the water so we could stroll around the park. Great home base after we explored other parts of the city.

A beautiful home and neighborhood! I would highly recommend staying at this wonderful property. Great location near the lake/park, in a quiet neighborhood. The details of the house are upscale, tasteful, and homey.
We are very grateful for being able to stay there.

Thank you James for your wonderful review. I’m the house and the neighborhood work for you. I hope to host you again.
The house is lovely and had everything we needed for our family of 5. The owner has a gorgeous front yard with lovely landscaping. Very clean, easy parking, lots of great amenities so we didn’t have to pack every little thing. Only downsides were that we didn’t have access to the garage (this wasn’t a surprise, we just didn’t realize it ahead of time and should have planned better) and the master bedroom mattress was very uncomfortable - all the other rooms were great!
the house was just as described and beautifully furnished. Everything was what i had wished for and more. Location was beautiful! i would stay here again in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone. Thanks so much for a wonderful weekend.

Thank you Patty for your great review. I’m glad you enjoyed your stay. I would love to host you and your family again.
We met up with family in St Paul for the weekend to go to a game at CHS Stadium. The location of this house couldn’t have been more perfect! Having the lake right across the street was wonderful and we loved everything about the neighborhood.The house was super clean and the layout was perfect for our family. The bedroom and full bath downstairs was perfect for grandparents with the kids and grandkid upstairs. Every bedroom had its own bath, which was ver convenient. The beds were comfy and we only had one car, but street parking was always plentiful if we had needed it. We all agreed we would LOVE to stay here again!

The house is gorgeous and very well appointed. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The bathrooms are newly renovated. The kitchen is gorgeous. There are 2 nice outdoor spaces - a fire pit in the front and a table on the back deck. We loved it!

About the host
Hosted by Dao Hoang
Hi, I’m Dao! I’m from Vietnam, and I love traveling and being outdoors in nature. Meeting new people is one of my favorite things, and hosting lets me do just that.
I enjoy helping guests discover the best of the area and making sure they feel right at home. Whether you’re here to explore or just relax, I’ll do my best to make your stay enjoyable.
Why they chose this property
One of the things I enjoy most about this neighborhood is the peaceful start to the day. Waking up to the view of the lake is always refreshing, and taking a morning walk around the water is the perfect way to relax and connect with nature. The area is calm and scenic, yet still close enough to local spots where you can enjoy food, culture, and daily conveniences.
It’s a place where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors right at your doorstep.
What makes this property unique
What makes my home unique is its beautiful lake view, which creates a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere from the moment you arrive. With 3 spacious bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, it’s perfect for families, groups of friends, or anyone who wants both comfort and privacy during their stay.
The combination of modern amenities, plenty of space, and the natural beauty of the lake makes this property a special place to unwind. Guests can enjoy waking up to the view, taking walks by the water, and having a cozy home to return to after exploring the area.
