Steps to Lake Minnewaska, downtown & city Splash Pad!! Lake Minnewaska/Glenwood

Welcome to our modern VRBO home, ideally located just a short walk away from Barsness Park, and the Public Beach & Boat Landing. Relax by our private 20-ft beach, and have a fire while you watch the sunset! This cozy home comfortably accommodates up to six guests, making it perfect for families or friends seeking to get away. Our property's excellent proximity to town ensures that you can easily explore and enjoy all the local attractions, dining spots, and shopping areas. Close to everything!
The space
**Please note, we do not currently have a dock, can pull boat up to beach and use public landing just down the road**
Main level bedroom has queen size bed. This is located next to the bathroom and laundry.
Upstairs consist of loft. This has two twin size beds and a full size bed.
Guest access
Guest have access to main level and loft. Basement is closed off for supplies/storage.
Other things to note
Very close proximately to most everything. Two-minute walk to our beach to enjoy the beautiful Lake Minnewaska waters. Park your boat right up on the beach. Boat landing and public beach is a block away, and Barsness Park has a bunch of activities including the new splash pad for the kiddos!! Glenwood is the home of Waterama (last full weekend every July) and Winterama (2nd weekend in February). Be sure to check out our Guest Guide for additional local information! Please note this is a new property, which has some work needed on the outside entrance staircase - take care in using the existing cement steps that display erosions on the ends, and do not have a railing. Additionally, the driveway is somewhat steep to get up to the very top to the entrance and firepit area

**Property is an approved short term rental and licensed with the City of Glenwood**

Super cute and clean house, with short walk to really nice private beach area, or the public beach is just a little further walk down the road. We enjoyed the quiet private area on the deck, grilling and lounging. Thanks for a great stay!

Met all our Expectations

This property is exactly what it says it is, beautiful clean house with a nice yard, fire pits, and its own beach access only a 2 minute walk away. Working with Todd was so easy! They worked with us on our arrival time to accommodate our long travel and were very prompt with getting back to me. There was always plenty of hot water and the air conditioning did great keeping up even in the very hot weather. There’s even a water spigot by the front door which was perfect for filling up our dog’s water dish and rinsing feet off after coming back from the lake. The living room was even bigger in person and was a comfortable place to unwind in the evenings. They are serious about how steep the driveway is but our Ford Explorer had no trouble, slow and steady. Would 100% stay again!

Sisters and cousins retreat

Stay was wonderful. Size and layout was perfect for our group. We whined about climbing up the hill, but got easier each time. Fire down by the lake was great as we made s'mores and had some laughs. Walked to downtown and found some fun buys. Great time!

Great property and owner

We enjoyed our stay very much. This property offered many amenities including kitchen basics, towels, grill, wifi and fish cleaning table. Owners were kind and communicated quickly. It's such a nice area of Minnesota with many lakes and near by communities with restaurants and shops. Thank you for being great hosts. Regina & Adam

Memorial Day weekend

I cannot express how much we enjoyed staying at this property. Everything was immaculately clean and the items that were provided, which were a lot, were top notch. It was located close to the water and the public dock. We were able to easily walk to the dock and fish. The center of town was just down the road so it made getting groceries and shopping easy. Other cities and adventures were just a short drive away. I felt comfortable that the local hospital was right there in case something happened. Todd was very responsive and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Even though we did not end up renting a boat he was able to give us the information for boat rentals. You will not be disappointed staying at this property as it is at the center of everything. One thing to note, and it has nothing to do with the property, is the hours of operation for the local restaurants and when they serve dinner. You will want to investigate this when you get there if you are planning on eating out. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
