"This was our third stay and we plan to return again in the future. It is conveniently located within walking (or cycling in warmer weather) distance to wonderful trails that are nicely maintained during the winter months. A grocery store and a couple of neighborhood restaurants are also within walking distance. Also, nice updates to the duplex!" - Paula and Joe

Perfect for 2
We needed a place to stay while visiting our son and family over a long weekend. We usually stay with them, but this time they had other family sleeping in their extra bedroom and we didn't want to sleep on air mattresses in the living room, if you get what I mean. This place was perfect for the 2 of us. It was clean and comfortable. We were able to relax in the late evenings after spending the days filled with family. It was nice to have our own space. We never felt uncomfortable in this part of the city. It's within walking distance to Minnehaha park, which is beautiful. Parking was easy, either on the street or at the back of the property. It really is a little gem.

Wonderful apartment in excellent location
Lovely place with everything I needed for my stay, including a fenced backyard for my little dog and easy walking access to Minnehaha Falls park. In a great neighborhood too! The only challenge is the shared yard space when the other renters also bring a dog - but we worked it out.

Remodeled Minnehaha Falls Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at the Remodeled Minnehaha Falls Getaway. The location was closed to everything we wanted to do. The house is the perfect size for two people, clean and cozy. If you stay here make sure you go over and see Minnehaha Falls, which is a short walk. I highly recommend staying here if you are visiting the Twin Cities.

Convenient location and Quiet
For our visit to the Twin Cities, this little duplex was in the perfect location whether for activities in either downtown or beyond. Being so close to a big grocery store and Minnehaha park were bonuses. Amazingly, for being near busy streets, the place was very quiet. The whole place was clean and kitchen was well-equipped, although if you plan to cook know that there was only salt & pepper and sugar. We appreciated the room darkening blinds. The host was super responsive. We would stay here again.

Great Place!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Minnehaha Falls Getaway. Everything went so smoothly that we didn't even have a need to communicate with the property manager. The location was a straight shot down Hiawatha to our son's house which made it really convenient. We could walk to the local Cub Foods and the corner liquor store. Minnehaha Falls was nearby and a beautiful hike. The place itself was brand new and tastefully decorated. There were plenty of closets to store our luggage and cooler and the king bed was very comfortable. My only suggestions would be to include a few more kitchen items. A couple more coffee mugs, maybe some serving bowls, and more teaspoons (there was only one teaspoon in the silverware drawer). The outside temperature went from comfortable Fall to full out Winter while we were there and it would have been nice to have an extra blanket for the bed. We would definitely stay here again in the future.

Amazing location and property!
Property was very clean and good amenities. Location is perfect for MOA, Vikings games, or anything you need the transit for as it is just a 3 block walk to the transit. Very easy to access parking and in an area where we felt very safe. Highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in Minneapolis! Andrew is very attentive and a great resource for help and what to do in the area! Would love to stay here again!

Very cozy duplex in a great location for us. Every morning we walked to Minnehaha Falls and the parkway. One night walked to Parkway Pizza- delicious , cozy, and reasonably priced! Close to a lot of connecting routes to get to places quickly. We used to live in this area when my husband attended the U of M! Brought back great memories.

Loved our stay. Shopped the Minnehaha Mile, ate at The Howe (twice!), and visited friends across the river in St. Paul. All within 10 minute drive. There are parks and art displays everywhere. Yet for all the convenience, it was amazingly quiet. Harley played chase with a chipmunk in the backyard. If you're thinking of staying in the Twin Cities, you should think about staying here.

Taylor Swift weekend
I brought my 15 year old daughter up to Minneapolis for the Taylor Swift concert and opted for a VRBO instead of using points for a hotel to avoid the crowds - and this place was absolutely perfect! It was easy to find, and we were so pleasantly surprised by how cute and clean everything was inside! The bed was super comfortable and we were also pleasantly surprised by the oscillating fan in the closet, which we used both nights. Absolutely a 10 out of 10, we would stay here again in a heartbeat if we ever come back to the area!

Minnehaha Falls less then 3 blocks walking distance
We loved the accomodations very close to Cub and liquor store. Fantastic pizza two blocks south Parkway Pizza. Spendy but better then Carbonie's. All within walking distances. I grew up very near there as did my grandparents. Used to go to the falls all the time. Very green the trees are finally starting to canopy over the streets again. Dutch elm ruined that back in the 70's and 80's. The accomodations we perfect for us.
