The house is old but quaint and in a fun neighborhood and close to downtown Minneapolis so lots to do
4.7
Visiting Minneapolis for a wedding with our adult kids - this was the perfect home base for our trip. The home was spotless, and in a great neighborhood for walking and grabbing a coffee at the local cafe.
4.7
Cute house that was great for a multifamily stay.
4.7
The place couldn't have been any more perfect for our party. Very accommodating and well furnished. The owner was flexible with a requested change. We will stay here again if the opportunity arises.
4.7
Grandma's comfy cottage gave us a fabulous place to be together for my daughters graduatuin weekend. We had a relaxing Saturday. The location allowed our daughterand her friend to visit and walk to local shops. The space allowed some to play games while others relaxed watching tv. Would recommend and may be back considering she has no plans to move yet!
4.7
I booked this for family to stay at during the holidays. Ed was a great communicator about some updates going on at the house and made sure everything would work for us still. The house was perfect for hosting a large group and had a very well stocked kitchen.
4.7
The house was nice and in a great location. We had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and most everything was clean. I took off one star because of the dusty dining room table and kitchen.
4.7
This house was perfect for our needs. We were in town for a funeral, and this was exactly what we needed for some wind down time after family/funeral events. Road can be a little loud at night, but was not bothersome for my kids- therefore not bothersome to me. Main room seats 7 easily and comfortably. Hardest thing was appeasing the 1 yo, 8 yo, 9 yo and 4 30-something adults on one TV.
Check in was easy and exactly as described in the emails. We had no need to communicate with host- that’s a good thing.
If needed, would stay again without question.
4.7
We enjoyed the Cozy Cottage. It was as advertised. It was clean and comfortable and everything worked. The location was perfect for us. We had great communication with Heather and Ed.
4.7
Enjoyed Grandmas cottage. Clean and well equipped for a big group.
4.7
The house was very cute and quaint. We appreciated how clean it was and the host accommodating a last minute change in our dates.
We were not fond of the location. We also did it find the yard/fire pit to be usable as it was very dirty (table and chairs) and yard had no privacy or warmth. Not to mention the tree with falling walnuts every few seconds.
4.7
We spent an entire month at Grandma’s Cottage and found it to be very comfortable. It is well stocked with anything you might need and then some. The hosts Heather and Ed are super helpful, responsive and friendly.
4.7
Nice stay with plenty of area. Only problem we had was ants in the basement and 1st floor.
4.7
We were the first Grandma and Grandpa to stay at Grandmas cottage. We were so happy to find this home within a few blocks of our 4 year old granddaughter. This allowed us to watch our granddaughter and let our daughter have some well deserved free time and time with her husband. The owners are very accommodating. All of our needs were met staying in their cared for home. Location is great to get anywhere in the Twin Cities. Beds were comfortable and the house is clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this sweet home.
4.7
Needs more light in the dinning room
4.7
We stayed at Grandma’s for a week, to attend a family wedding celebration. The house was clean and well maintained, and reminded us so much of our childhood home in Wisconsin, we felt at home right away. There was plenty of room for 4 adults to spread out and feel comfortable. The dining room was a perfect spot for two of us to work remotely.
Location was convenient to the places we visited: Minnetonka, Medicine Lake, Farmer’s Market and Basilica of Saint Mary. Walked every morning in the neighborhood to Bassett’s Creek Park. The owners were very responsive to our questions. Thank you Ed, for the neighborhood coffee shop and pizza restaurant recommendations – both are worth the 2 block walk. We would definitely stay here again.
4.7
Grandma's cottage was a great fit for my daughter, mother and brother traveling to MSP for a long Memorial Day weekend. The Bryn Mawr neighborhood has a nice coffee shop, Cuppa Java with a neighborhood feel. La Mesa was busy, but offers a variety of food for an evening meal. Grandma's cottage was centrally located for the moving around the city to various museums and parks. There is plenty of space in the bedrooms and various places to enjoy playing a board game or reading on some local history.
4.7
Accurate descriptions, well located for Theodore wirth, enjoyed biking and walking in area. Walked to coffee shops, utepils brewery and la Dona.
4.7
This property has a great location. Easy access to highways and byways and close to many shopping outlets. The place was really clean, the beds super comfortable. The sheets and bedding were a good quality. We had high confidence about this unit because of its cleanliness and the care taken in its preparation for our visit.
Great communication with our host. There really wasn’t anything we could’ve asked for.
I really liked the locks on the doors; their quality and ease of use. I was thankful that I could park my vehicle in a secured garage for the three nights we were there. I was impressed that the host had worked out a common code by which I could operate all locks; that was smart. Bonus was a real nice surprise.
This is our first time using this service and we were really blessed by this experience. We are quite familiar with the other guys and this was very nice.
We highly recommend this host and this home.
4.7
This spot was perfect for our weekend stay! One of our kids lives in St Louis Park and another is at the UofM, and the location was ideal for spending lots of time with them. Our son just got a dog and the cottage was very accommodating, with toys, a bed, and food/water bowls. Just north of I-394, so easy travel to campus and downtown. We enjoyed a few nice meals at the home & used the grill, and we were also able to get out and visit the sculpture garden at Loring Park & MIA in Uptown. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. Comfortable beds. Great communication with the owners - they were super responsive and helpful!
4.7
Wow, we had a wonderful stay at this property! Our son is in his 2nd year of medical residency, he does not get to come home to Wisconsin often so we wanted a “homey” type of weekend for him since he could not come home for Thanksgiving. This home was everything we wanted/needed. Great location. We will be back for sure! The host were wonderful. Thank you!
