House and provisions in the house were very good and comfortable. Location was good and convenient for things we wanted to do. We had very good assistance and communication with Felicity. The following comments have no reflection on the property we stayed at. We were simply victims of bad timing to make our trip to this neighborhood. The main street where businesses and local restaurants are located (Hennepin Ave) was closed off and completely torn up and under reconstruction. Totally uninviting to explore. Lake Bke Maka Ska. within short walking distance. had signs posted prohibiting swimming due to high E-Coli counts. The Several miles of bike and hiking paths around the lakes and several play areas were enjoyable. The neighbor across the street from our house had their car vandalized and window broken out in the middle of the afternoon on our first full day in the neighborhood. Made us question the safety of the neighborhood. Some neighbors assured us that it was a safe area even though we so no presence of police during our entire time in the Uptown area of Minneapolis. This was the reason for our lower rating for location and neighborhood. These concerns will be gone at some point in time in the future. We did engage in many enjoyable activities outside the neighborhood, so don't let our moment in time prevent you from visiting Minneapolis.

We had a great stay for the week in the Uptown neighborhood. We enjoyed walking around the lake, eating great dinners, and family fun just hanging and playing games at the house. Thank you for providing a clean and well-stocked home with all of the essentials and more!

Owner was a dream to work with. We are a hotel family and rarely stay at VRBO, but decided it was the best option when traveling for a family wedding. The house came with everything we could possibly need and the area was perfect to walk to the lake or shops to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner.

Nice older house located by coffee shops, restaurants and a lake (2 blocks away). Street parking. Had a guessing game with friends as to where the 2nd bathroom was (basement) and 3rd bedroom (3rd floor). Good amenities, pretty much everything you would need. No back yard, nice front porch with a glider and table. Bathrooms completely remodeled and nice. Floors are super squeaky. Nice overall.

I stayed in this lovely house alone for several days and with lots of family for a long weekend and it suited us all. It is a lovely old house with great moldings and wood floors but all the right updates--nice kitchen brilliant bathrooms. The house has four levels: lower game room and bath with a wonderful walk-in shower, main with a spacious living room and dining room and a fully stocked kitchen, second with three bedrooms and another fully updated bath, and fourth with a large bedroom with two queen beds. Can't say enough good things about the hosts and their thoughtfulness for the needs of guests--warm throws for snuggling in the living room, plenty of towels and all kinds of supplies in the bathrooms, a kitchen stocked with everything you could possibly need. High recommend!

This space was really lovely and fit our large group well, we did not feel cramped and on each other's toes. The location is really incredible, making it easy to walk to the nearby Bde Maka Ska lake as well as all of the restaurants and bars in uptown. Would recommend this spot, it was really lovely and we would stay again!

House was perfect for our group of 8. Plenty of room to all eat in the dining room and then relax in the living room. Bedrooms were neat and comfy. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautifully quaint older home near everything. We enjoyed our stay. The house had just about anything you could possibly think of needing. I was impressed.
I think an available baby gate for the top of the quite steep stairs heading to level two would be helpful for children and elderly with dementia(as in our case). I may just not have seen it in the description, but would be helpful in the bedroom description to show that three bedrooms were on the second floor and an attic type bedroom was located on the third floor. We traveled with 3 elderly family members and there were three flights of steep stairs, if you include basement and third level. It’s an older house, so very normal for time period, but would have been helpful to know about the staircases. There is no bathroom on the main level. The bathrooms are in lower level and level 2. Both bathrooms were amazing! We really enjoyed using the basement shower! Spa-like!
Host left the sweetest note welcoming us to her home. What a lovely touch.
Would not hesitate to stay here again with my family. I may choose somewhere else to stay if my elderly parents and in-laws join us next visit simply because of the stairs. I suppose there is a reason elderly folk enjoy purchasing ranches in retirement.
Thanks Felicity!

We had a very nice stay! Felicity was very responsive. We had difficulty getting in when we arrived (ended up being an unknown internet outage in the area affecting the lock system). I contacted Felicity. She immediately responded and had a solution. She investigated the reason for the difficulty and had a work around. The rest of the stay was lovely! Our kids (teenagers) thought it was the coolest house ever! 😊. The area is very nice. It was very cold when we were there, but that did not stop us from walking to nearby coffee shops and restaurants. Even got a run in on a very nice path around the lake. Would highly recommend this house and hosts if needing a place to stay in Uptown, MN.

The home was spacious and just as described. It was within walking distance to restaurants and shops making dinnertime after a long day so much easier. The beds were also incredibly comfortable.
The host left a welcome note along with some chocolates which I thought was a nice touch!

What a perfect place to stay. Great location, great beds and linens and fully stocked house- including kitchen and bathrooms. Would definitely stay here again instead of a hotel on campus.

We needed a roomy, safe place to stay for our son's wedding weekend. This property fit the bill! Everything was easy to use and the kitchen was very well stocked. The house was clean and welcoming. We enjoyed all of the lovely plants. Everyone had space to spread out when needed but great common rooms too. We enjoyed daily morning walks around the lovely neighborhood. It was a very special weekend.

The house was perfect for our short golf trip to Minnesota. The location was walkable to good restaurants and a short drive to downtown.

The house was lovely and accommodated us perfectly. Our host Felicity had a beautiful vase of fresh flowers there on our arrival. The kitchen and bathrooms were well-supplied. After we checked out, something was found that was left behind by a family member and Felicity reached out to us to see if it was ours and we agreed on a simple solution to return the item. She definitely went above and beyond!

We loved the old home. The decorations were modern and beautiful. Loved the plants. Wished there was a bathroom on the main floor but the bathrooms were nice. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch. Thanks.

Great location, great property, and great owner, what more to ask? House was perfectly as advertised and great communication with the owner throughout and leading up to the trip. Being able to rent a house with a high chair and a pack & play made traveling with an infant for the first time a breeze!

This property has everything you need plus things you didn’t even realize you did! The house is only a few blocks from the lake in a wonderful neighborhood. It’s only a few blocks to restaurants, grocery stores, and coffee shops. The property manager had great communication and was very accommodating to all of my requests. We would definitely be back. Thank you!

The house was wonderful and in a great location. Impeccable attention to detail with nothing overlooked. The decor was lovely as well. I would highly recommend for a large group. This was a genuine home away from home.

We were at a family wedding and family members stayed in various homes over the week. After seeing the others', I was so happy we stayed at Felicity's home in Uptown. It is a FABULOUS location, very close to Lake Calhoun. Sunsets there were gorgeous. Tons of restaurants and a fun vibe in Uptown. The house was immaculate, and we are all still raving about the mattresses. We loved having morning coffee on the porch. The kitchen was well set up, communication was excellent. We loved the historic vibe of the home, while having been renovated to fit today's needs. I would LOVE to stay here again!

Our family of 6 had plenty of space in the beautifully redone home. We loved the area; walked to dinner, ran and biked the trails around the lakes. We only had 2 nights here but would have loved to stayed longer. The beds were super comfortable and the kitchen was stocked. We had just been on a houseboat in Voyageurs National Park for 5 days so being able to do some laundry was an added bonus. Overall, would highly recommend this property.

Our family of 5 stayed here for 4 nights and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Beautiful historical home has been remodeled with modern conveniences. Very nice bathrooms, house was clean and beds were very comfortable. We slept great! House has everything you can possibly need. There are 3 sets of stairs (4 levels) in the home. Basement level has full bathroom, laundry and 2nd living room. Main level has living room and kitchen. 2nd level has 3 bedrooms (2 queen rooms and 1 with 2 twins) and 1 full bathroom. Top level (attic) has a bedroom with 2 queeen beds. We stayed in July and the top level was a little warm, but has it's own window ac unit. Owner was very helpful and responds quickly. Definitely recommend staying here.

Cute updated home in a great location
My girlfriends and I met here for a long weekend. The home is a nicely updated older home with character, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well stocked. The location is awesome (lake, bookstore, grocery store all within walking distance). The host/co-hosts weee also very responsive and came over quickly oh a Friday night when we had an issue. We had planned to use this house as a home base to see a show at the Guthrie (but Covid canceled the show) and to do some outdoor activities (but the -20 temps held us back on that). So, we stayed in a lot. They could add another comfortable chair or 2 in the house somewhere (there is comfortable seating for 5). Also, bring your slippers if it’s winter and you want to cook in the kitchen (but that also could have been due to the -20 outdoor temps too).

Awesome host, lovely place, convenient location
We had a delightful stay and Felicity was an amazing host. We loved the area: plenty of opportunity for beautiful walks and great access to groceries/restaurants. The home was perfect for our group staying there for a family wedding. Our only concern was the uptown area did not feel safe after dark, so we did not feel comfortable walking in the neighborhood once the sun went down. But during the daytime it was great and the home itself felt safe. Would surely consider another stay at any property of Felicity's! Thank you!!

Saw baseball game
The place was very clean. It’s no more than 15 miles from Mall of America, about three miles from Target Field and near other interests. We enjoyed our stay while there.

Uptown Fun
First I have to talk about Felicity, the owner. She was so responsive to my questions when we booked and was just a dream to work with. But she went above and beyond when my teenager forgot some small but important items at the house. She let me know she found them and got them shipped back to us that day. I can't thank her enough for that.
The house is decorated beautifully and is very clean. Lots of room to spread out and had everything we needed. It is located so close to 32nd St Beach at Lake Calhoun and it is just a bit further to the area where you can rent kayaks and paddle boards. We enjoyed lake activities on most days we were there.
This is a great place and I recommend highly!

Excellent house and location
The house was beautiful and clean and perfect for our family! Felicity had everything we could want and even left some treats for us. We would love to stay here again when we’re in Minneapolis!
