"This was our third stay and we plan to return again in the future.

A grocery store and a couple of neighborhood restaurants are also within walking distance. Also, nice updates to the duplex!" - Paula and Joe

Remodeled Minnehaha Falls Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the Remodeled Minnehaha Falls Getaway. The location was closed to everything we wanted to do. The house is the perfect size for two people, clean and cozy. If you stay here make sure you go over and see Minnehaha Falls, which is a short walk. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the Twin Cities.

Taylor Swift weekend

I brought my 15 year old daughter up to Minneapolis for the Taylor Swift concert and opted for a VRBO instead of using points for a hotel to avoid the crowds - and this place was absolutely perfect! It was easy to find, and we were so pleasantly surprised by how cute and clean everything was inside! The bed was super comfortable and we were also pleasantly surprised by the oscillating fan in the closet, which we used both nights. Absolutely a 10 out of 10, we would stay here again in a heartbeat if we ever come back to the area!

Convenient location and Quiet

For our visit to the Twin Cities, this little duplex was in the perfect location whether for activities in either downtown or beyond. Being so close to a big grocery store and Minnehaha park were bonuses. Amazingly, for being near busy streets, the place was very quiet. The whole place was clean and kitchen was well-equipped, although if you plan to cook know that there was only salt & pepper and sugar. We appreciated the room darkening blinds. The host was super responsive. We would stay here again.

Clean and Convenient

We loved the property, its comfort, and its overall cleanliness. We did, however, have issues with snow removal. There was lots of dangerous ice in front and back. Much work was needed - falling was a constant concern during our stay.

Great home and location

My 15 year old and I stayed here when we came to Minneapolis for a concert at Uptown Theater. We stayed for three nights and were so happy that we chose this VRBO rental. We parked on the street in front of the home and never had issues finding a spot. The neighborhood is very nice and we found it easy to get around Minneapolis from this location. We had everything we needed and the home was very clean. There are several options nearby for picking up groceries for cooking. The communications on check-in and check-out were clear and easy to follow. We hope to return to Minneapolis again and will stay here when we do.

This is the second time we have been guests of Andrew. It is a perfect location for us as it is just three blocks from our daughter’s home. It is wonderful to come visit and feel like we are part of the neighborhood. The house is clean, quiet and safe. We had a great time playing trivia at Venn Brewing, walking to coffee places.

Best experience i have ever had

This place is SPOTLESS. You could smell how clean it was when we entered. Everything is modern, bed is comfortable, water pressure excellent, neighborhood is perfectly located for walking to the falls and they even included doggie treats and bags, even though we didn’t have a dog. This host thinks of the little details and it was appreciated! 100000% will return!

Minneapolis - Minnehaha Falls & Mall of America

My children and I had an exceptional time exploring Minneapolis, Minnehaha Falls, the dog park & Mall of America. We loved the short walks to all the places near by & the short drive to MOA. The place is centrally located to many great attractions. The home was clean and Andrew was very attentive making sure we were settling in and reached out to see if we had any questions. I highly recommend this sweet spot for your stay.

VERY IMPRESSED

I had to come to Minneapolis for surgery so I rented this place for 4 nights. It was just as appeased in the photos! I had an issue with the large living room tv, messaged Andrew and he was very fast to respond and instruct me on what to do! I was so pleased with his help and kindness! I also had to return to my dr on the day we were supposed to check out and he was so kind that he gave us an extra hour to check out, we didn’t end up needing it but it was nice to know we had it! The bed and couch are so comfortable! I actually slept better on the bed and couch than I ever have at any hotel. It’s a very quiet and secure building and neighborhood, I truly have nothing negative to say and we WILL be coming back! Ajv
