Charming Linden Hills Cottage steps from Lake Harriet & Lake Bde Maka Ska

Our lovely 1+ bedroom, 2-level walk-out cottage backs up to prime Minneapolis William Berry Park and is located just 800 feet from the shore of beautiful Lake Harriet. Sip your morning coffee in our cozy breakfast nook and watch the historic trolley go by. Conveniently located in the midst of vibrant Linden Hills, offering many unique shops and fine restaurants, but with a private north woods ambiance. Just out the back door you can arrive at the shore of Lake Harriet in 5 minutes. Enjoy the beach, rent kayaks, canoes, paddle-boats, bikes—enjoy the manicured trails. Just a short distance along the shore you’ll find the exquisite Lyndale Park Rose Garden and the Roberts Bird Sanctuary (see photos).

Fully equipped kitchen plus breakfast nook, LR/DR, entry parlor w/piano. Lower-level family room with comfy sectional, TV/cable/Roku, sweet sleeping nook w/queen-sized mattress . Full-sized stacked washer and dryer on that level. Walk out the back door, cross the patio and have a soak in the luscious hot tub--glorious in winter!

Also just a few blocks from Lake Bde Maka Ska (formerly Lake Calhoun) and a nice bike ride around all the connected city lakes (see map).

An Oasis
If you are looking for a peaceful and quiet place to stay, that is very cozy and comfortable, then you have come to the right place! We loved this well-lit, well-furnished home, located in close proximity to the lake, along with its nature trails, tasteful concerts and even a wine and ice cream bar! Looking forward to staying here again, next time we visit Minneapolis!

Awesome location!
We came to Minneapolis to bike and enjoyed three days of incredible trail riding around nearby lakes and on beautiful parkways The cottage was quaint, with a well stocked kitchen. We had several delicious dinners at restaurants within walking distance of the cottage. It was fun to walk the quiet neighborhood in the evenings. The back patio was perfect for lunch or an evening fire (wood was available for use). You could not ask for a better Minneapolis location! We highly recommend this property.

Charming cottage in fabulous area
We loved our stay! The cottage was charming and had everything we needed. It's location just steps from Lake Harriet was wonderful, allowing us to enjoy a morning walk for coffee before heading out sightseeing and shopping. We enjoyed the hot tub every evening under the stars overlooking the park area- a real highlight. Katie was readily available and was quick to respond when we needed some help. Highly recommend this spot!

Cottage near the lake
We found this cottage and its location perfect. Came into town for a concert and to visit family, but also to enjoy autumn in Minneapolis. The bandshell is nearby, which means that we will certainly return to Katie's cottage during the summer to enjoy the shows.
