Elevated vintage is your backdrop for this memorable stay. Minutes from Downtown Excelsior, Chaska, and Waconia! Walk to our favorite coffee shop, boutiques, bars and restaurants. Gather with friends or family at the harvest table, relax in the walk-in shower / tub room, melt into our comfortable beds. Perfect for wedding guests, girls weekends, adventure seekers, and visitors to Paisley Park and Waconia Wineries. Victoria's motto is the city of lakes and parks and yes there are many lakes and trails to explore. For bike enthusiasts the trailhead is just across the street and will lead you to Carver Park Reserve, Lake Minnetonka, Excelsior, and beyond. There are also numerous public golf courses within a 10 mile radius of the house. Not bad! The entire home interior was renovated in February 2024. Each room is outfitted with new bedding, furniture, and furnishings. The elevated vintage design highlights the home's original charm while ensuring guests are comfortable in every room. It is hard to miss the large fully-stocked kitchen and coffee bar on the main level. Just past the kitchen you can nestle up on the couch in the living room and enjoy movies on the 65 inch TV, or get some work done at the workstation. Adjacent is the dining room with a large harvest table suitable for games, puzzles, visiting, and eating of course. Walk through the original swing door back into the kitchen to freshen up your drinks. Off the front of the house is a 3-season porch perfect for that cup of morning coffee or just a place to lounge in the afternoon. The mudroom off the back of the kitchen is the perfect place to drop your shoes and coats. Upstairs is the living quarters. Three fully renovated bedrooms and a huge bathroom with walk-in shower, soaker tub, and full laundry. The primary bedroom offers a king bed, workstation, and walk-in closet. The middle bedroom has a queen bed, closet and dresser, and the third bedroom has a twin over full bunk bed and closet. The heated garage is situated in the back of the house. It is oversized and can fit two vehicles for no extra charge. During your stay guests can use the entire house, garage and backyard. The only exception is a utility room in the basement that is typically locked and the only room that is not accessible. We live 2 miles away and know the area well! Do not hesitate to reach out if you want recommendations for where to go, what to do, or any general questions about your stay. For emergencies, our direct contact info is listed on a welcome sign in the kitchen. Otherwise the VRBO chat feature is the best way to communicate with us. A pack and play is available upon request. Month long stays require a mid-stay clean that the guest pays for (in other words, a second cleaning fee). ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Thin carpet in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the marina ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Casino nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Cleaning products are eco-friendly - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 1,500 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![4 bedrooms, desk, iron/ironing board, free WiFi](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88370000/88361100/88361010/f17e44e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cedar House Retreat Excelsior - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 33 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-25&endDate=2025-10-26&selected=88361010&PinnedHotelID=88361010&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107970000/107961500/107961401/96c9ce20.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 4-bedroom, family-friendly home in Excelsior.

The communication and check in/out instructions were simple and easy. The home was fully stocked with just what we needed, and included games and books which our kids loved! Elevated vintage is the perfect way to describe the home — it’s so warm and cozy. We loved the walkability to downtown Victoria for morning coffees, dinners, and ice cream.

We enjoyed the coziness, character & welcoming spaces this historic home offered. It was impeccably clean, and the beds and pillows were cozy and luxe. The large bathroom upstairs with the soaking tub was a favorite place to rest and restore. The close proximity to downtown Victoria (coffee shops, boutiques & restaurants) made it a perfect spot for a girls trip. The communication with the host was clear and prompt.
