Vacation rentals with lake access in Hennepin County

Thank you for a charming and comfortable place to stay. We stayed for a month. Lots of fun places to go nearby. Great sunsets! Cute little place with everything we needed. Felt very homey, very quiet, nice lake location. Safe. Neighbors yards are really messy but that didn't bother us. Host was really nice.

We we’re looking for a certain place as we were traveling as a family with a 12 yr old and a dog and we needed to have a break from our demanding lives/jobs: close to the Harriett/Bde Maka lakes because grandparents live here, walkable, safe bicycle streets, things to do with our 12 yr old, places to take our dog for walks, fenced yard, garage to store our bicycles, and it had to feel like home. We got all of that and more at the Boho House. Our hosts were amazing. At some point we needed a heater (we’re from Texas ;)) and our host got us what we needed pretty quick. The place was exactly what the pictures showed. It was clean and beautiful, loved the boho decor. Loved the natural light in the living area and one of the bedrooms but at the same time felt private. We were able to cook some meals but we also got to enjoy the restaurants from the area. The coffee table has a binder with great recommendations. We plan to come back next year and definitely would like to stay here again.

We had a great stay at Nancy's place. It was the perfect base for our stay in Minneapolis. I particularly appreciated being so close to the lakes for daily walks, and Uptown is centrally located and has a variety of restaurants and grocery stores. The home was very comfortable and located in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood.

Loved our stay so many great places within walking distance!

The apartment was bright and spacious. The location was great and we enjoyed walking around the lake and to restaurants.

This was a great place for our group of 8. It had everything we needed and was very clean. The beds were comfortable and the showers were relaxing. We appreciated the grill. We used the driveway and street parking which was helpful. The movie room and arcade games were a great bonus. We enjoyed walking to Moore Lake Park. It was a good central location for trips between our daughter’s college, Minneapolis and St. Paul. We definitely recommend Nelson’s Ice Cream and Isles Bun and Coffee. Both are a bit of a drive but you truly won’t want to miss them.

This well-equipped home is the perfect base for exploring Minneapolis. It's convenient to lots of activities and restaurants, but a tranquil spot to relax with plenty of space both inside and outside. Highly recommend.

We had a group of guys down for the Pond Hockey tournament on Lake Naomi's and we needed a space that could accommodate all of us including the couple dogs staying with us. This was a great location to the lake and we all enjoyed our stay. We wish the hockey part would have went as well as our stay did.

Wow - what a dream rental! It was immaculately cleaned upon arrival (read: vacuum lines 😍) with the pack-and-play set up in the bedroom too. Our hosts were proactive and incredibly responsive. We loved the electric power strip on the nightstand with the sound machine plugged in which made charging our phones in the dark (with an already sleeping toddler) much quieter! We booked with the intention of walkability, but were thoroughly impressed with the Highway 7 access. The natural lighting was also a surprise - the windows in each room gave great light even on those overcast days and the smart lights made “turning in” really efficient at night. Can’t recommend enough!

The peaceful and beautiful location of this apartment, walkable to Harriet Lake, can’t be overstated. The unit itself is on the top floor of a charming older building, in a well-kept neighborhood graced with towering trees. The unit itself had everything I and my two adult children needed — very comfortable rooms and beds for all, a well-stocked kitchen, a bathroom where everything worked as it should (plenty of hot water), and of course, that gorgeous outdoor deck right off the living room, where we spent so much of our time. We plugged in the lights at night and it was magical. The location meant we were close enough to walk down to Harriet Lake and then run the 3-mile loop around, finishing the run off with a beer or a delicious ice cream at the Bread and Pickle, near the outdoor amphitheater where, if the stars align, you can find someone on stage singing about love, grief, and redemption. So many great restaurants all around. Khâluna was fantastic — don’t think, just go!

Allison’s place was great! Very cute vintage decor throughout the apartment and it felt very cozy and like home throughout my stay. Very easy to find and in a great location, was able to take a nice walk around the lakes every day. No issues with parking at all, there is plenty of street parking immediately outside the front door. Allison provided detailed instructions regarding check in on the day of my reservation which made the whole process easy.

Location was convenient and in a cute neighborhood. The upstairs neighbors are quiet, but you can hear every footstep, since it's an older home with creaky and uneven floors. The second bedroom is quite small. But the home was clean and adequate for what we needed for a comfortable weekend stay.

This is a safe place to stay. The streets are dead-end backing up to a lake. No traffic, it's best thing about this place. It's a typical older 4 apartment building. There are two tenants and two rentals. Tenants kept to themselves. The place is not high end but clean and gets the job done especially for the price. I would consider renting again. Remember, Minnesota is a Marijuana state, and you smell it everywhere.

Great apartment. Terrific location. Steps from the lake. Easy parking. Wonderful deck for sitting out. Kevin has some nice touches like reusable grocery bags. He has a binder with information about the area and the apartment. Very useful. We really enjoyed our stay.

It's a great location on Lake Street, close to top restaurants such as 6Smith and a short walk to shops and the beautiful Wayzata Bay. The unit is spacious and just as described. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and plan to return.

Jodi's place was the perfect house for our team to stay. We were in town for a conference at the convention center and house was about a 10 minute drive from the center, and we saved hundreds of dollars over is staying at a hotel in town. I would look to stay here again if I return to the Twin Cities.

My pup and I felt right at home. comfortable beds and a beautiful view of the lake...what more could a weary traveler ask for? really awesome place. highly recommend...

we loved our stay here! the home was so cozy & felt like the perfect ‘home away from home’ for our long weekend! we loved how it was right on the water. we didn’t end up having great weather, so we didn’t get to take advantage of outdoor amenities, but loved that there was a fire pit, grill & outdoor seating overlooking the water :) beautiful space, views & lots of natural light! we enjoyed buffalo books & forget me not cafe in downtown buffalo which was about a 15 min drive!

The hosts, Katie and Curt, were very friendly and responsive. The hot tub on the patio was a big bonus. I also enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and watching the trolley go by through the woods ($3 to take the short historic ride). And just a few minutes to walk to Lake Harriet pavilion to take in some live music or walk around the lake. I’m excited to come back sometime for this relaxing get-away!

This house is marvelous, it is pristinely clean, the decor is magnificent and the location is divine. My only opportunity for improvement is that the cable TV glitches in and out in every room, so we watched our oqn devices, and sadly the people who stayed above were very loud walkers and up all night, so for 2 nights i was unable to sleep, which is not the owners fault, but unfortunate.
