Charming Linden Hills Cottage 800 feet from Lake Harriet, also near Bde Maka Ska

Our lovely 1+ bedroom, 2-level walk-out cottage backs up to prime Minneapolis William Berry Park and is located just 800 feet from the shore of beautiful Lake Harriet.

Sip your morning coffee in our cozy breakfast nook and watch the historic trolley go by. Enjoy the woodsy view. The cottage is conveniently located in the midst of vibrant Linden Hills, but offers a private north woods ambiance. Walk just a few blocks to downtown Linden Hills where you'll find many unique shops and a variety of restaurants, from casual to fine dining.

Step out the back door, walk along the historic trolley tracks and you will arrive at the shore of Lake Harriet. Enjoy the beach, rent kayaks, canoes, paddle-boats, or bikes. Enjoy the trails connecting the various Minneapolis Lakes. Just a short distance along the shore you’ll encounter the exquisite Lyndale Park Rose Garden and the Roberts Bird Sanctuary (see photos).

Fully equipped kitchen plus breakfast nook, LR/DR, entry parlor w/piano. Lower-level family room with comfy sectional, sweet sleeping nook w/queen-sized mattress. Full-sized stacked washer and dryer in lower walk-out level. Out the back door you can enjoy the private patio and have a soak in the luscious hot tub--glorious in winter!

There are two TVs--one in the upstairs living room with a Roku stick. Second TV is in the lower-level family room, is a Smart TV, and also has a Roku stick.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

The shower is difficult to get in and out of for an elderly person with mobility problems. However, the entire cottage is charming. The kitchen is well-supplied with implements and pots and pans and dishes. The location near two lakes is very nice. It is a peaceful, beautiful cottage.

Lovely Stay

We had a nice relaxing stay at the cottage. Everything we needed to cook a meal was available and restaurants and shops in Linden Hills are a short walk away. We loved being so close to Lake Harriet and watching the trolley go by. We loved having our meals in the breakfast nook. The hot tub is a nice amenity but we didn’t have a chance to use it. Would definitely stay again!
