Magical Lake house, feels like being in the cabin in the heart of Minneapolis.

Make some memories at this unique and family-friendly 1954 Lake house! feel like being in a cabin in the middle of woods but you are in the heart of Minneapolis.

The cobblestone deck with the view of the gorgeous lake from outside and the windows of the house will have you fall in love with this cute and simple cabin like place.

Sunlight and scenery from every window shines into the house. Make a bonfire at night and enjoy the view on the deck.

You have lots of space on the ground floor and basement for a comfortable family gathering in any season. Paddle boat, paddleboards, and bicycles provided for the summer time lake and outdoors fun! The lake is a small lake called Cobblestone Lake. You can use the paddle boat to go in the middle of the lake and fish. There is no access for boats to the lake and there is no beach on the lake. There is a long trail just in a walking distance from the house. Lots of restaurants and shops close by. The house is few minutes away from West End where there are lots of bars and restaurants. Downtown Minneapolis is only 8 minutes away. Downtown Hopkins with lots of festivals throughout the year is 5 min. away. Few beaches are within minutes away. Only 15-20 min away from the airport.

We loved the home on the lake! The kids enjoyed the paddle boards and paddle boat, as well as having a cookout and making s’mores. Movie nights with popcorn and sleeping in were a nice treat! There was even live outdoor music at one of the other houses and we enjoyed listening while on the lake. Much needed relaxation time and we would stay again!

The host made a mistake about our check-in date so the check-in information was incorrect and a bedroom and kitchen sink were not clean and ready. When I contacted them, they were very apologetic and offered to come and clean. They were very responsive. Other than that hiccup, the place was perfect for our trip and we had a wonderful time. The little lake was fun, the downstair space was great, and it was close to all our activities. Our family would go again.
