Guests will enjoy their own space and exploring the charming neighborhood by walking to Lake Nokomis, Minnehaha Falls/Park, locally-owned restaurants, breweries, bars, bakeries, coffee houses and fun shops. The Cottage is sandwiched between our beloved Minnehaha Falls/Park & Lake Nokomis and 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?

We realize people may not remember everything we do as hosts - but will remember how we made them feel as guests. 🥰 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. The Cottage is steps from THE GRAND ROUNDS, which is the nation's only urban-based National Scenic Byway. It is part of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's 6,400 acres of trails, lakes, parks, and recreation facilities. The parkways and paths are divided into seven segments and together form a nearly complete loop through Minneapolis as they connect 14 natural lakes, three creeks, two waterfalls, and the Mississippi River. Because of careful planning and strategic land acquisitions, all waterfront and rights-of-way around the lakes, creeks and river segments are in public ownership. Walking distance to Lake Nokomis & Minnehaha Falls/Park at The Mississippi River and steps from The Grand Rounds make it easy for guests to explore what Minneapolis/St Paul is MOST known for - our LAKES! After all, this is why we are called "The Cities 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 outdoor lounge/patio area w/pergola, canopy and fire table surrounded by mature organic gardens and herbs.

We were in the cities for our daughter’s graduation and the cottage was perfect for the two of us! Very clean, comfortable and nicely equipped. The outdoor space was great! We grilled out and utilized the propane fire pit on the cool evenings. Check-in was a breeze and Carolyn was very responsive to our questions. Neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We walked to the grocery store and around the area, very safe and clean. Will stay here again in the future! ##### Daniel W. Stayed 6 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura J.

Jul 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Home away from home I love to stay at the cottage any time I visit family in the twin cities. It's a convenient location close to the airport, lakes and anything you could need is a quick drive away. As a solo female traveler I feel safe staying at the cottage. It is tucked away behind the main house and gives a sense of privacy. I have used the separate space called the Nordic nook in the past to paint or relax. It's a great additional space when traveling. The details put into the landscaping, the space and decor are what makes it stand apart from other rentals. It really feels like a home away from home. ##### Raychel V. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily S.

How lovely it was to nestle into a tranquil cottage halfway between Lake Nokomis and the Mississippi. This cozy getaway was designed to ensure a very pleasant stay. It had the ambiance of a spa getaway, The space was designed to maximize efficiency and no detail appeared to be spared! Beautiful lighting, cozy linens, built-in bedside tables and much more. Host provided a rolling shopping card for guests to do grocery runs. Located very close to the airport and to to several parks and trails. Also, a quick walk to public transportation.

We were extremely busy in the land of lakes so we didn’t have much down time to relax in the Nook. It looked like a perfect place to just sit and read a book. The garden was starting to show, wish we could go back soon and see it in full bloom. It is very well designed. So many beautiful touches. Highly recommend ##### Sara P.
