Great Group Stay

We worked with Emily for our stay and she made it a breeze. Great for our group of 9, especially with everyone getting a bed. Parking is limited, so plan for that, but Emily will help accommodate you if possible and direct you to off site parking if necessary. Awesome VRBO and even better experience with the owners. We’d highly recommend!

Awesome place and hosts

My family and I decided to spend our end-of-summer vacation in Minneapolis and were lucky enough to find this awesome place to stay. The location is great. The space is huge and perfect for kids who need some alone time as part of their day. The hosts are awesome and provided lots of great suggestions. We'd definitely stay again.

Great location!

Perfect location for a group to stay that was attending a Nike tennis camp on campus. Kids were able to walk to/from camp every day as well as a couple restaurants in the evenings in Dinkytown. Parking was not an issue at all. The property was clean, quiet and safe. Emily, who did our check in, was awesome. The views from the rooftop deck are great!

This loft was perfect for my family! Finding a handicap/elderly friendly spot is not always easy, but this was great. Nice, flat, clean roomy interior with handicap ramps to get into the space. It was stocked with everything we needed and Emily was great to work with. The location on campus worked perfect for where we need to be. Thank you Emily and Greg!
