Perfect Family Gathering Home

We were so pleased to find a home in the Minnetonka area that suited our family gathering. Great room was perfect for watching Final Four while enjoying our birthday potluck meal around the island. All bedrooms and bathrooms were immaculate and well appointed. Beds were all clean and comfy! Thank you!

Amazing Time!

Our grandma owns a house on Lake Redstone but is getting too old to host our entire family - myself, my husband, our 4 year old, 2 year old and my mother-in-law, so we rented this to stay during our visit. We were beyond happy with our experience. Not only is the location phenomenal, but it was very clean and had EVERYTHING you could want during your vacation. Trampoline, bounce house and TONS of toys to keep the kiddos occupied. BONUS - we rented their boat as well and had a blast! Would definitely recommend staying here, we hopefully will be again next summer!
