This is the second time we are staying here. We love the spaciousness which was for 6 adults. The house is very clean and true to description! The location is wonderful and convenient to walk to the lovely lake, around the neighborhood or to downtown for great food or coffee/tea! Would highly recommend!

This was a great location for the six of us to get together. It was clean, spacious, and comfortable space. The kitchen was well-stocked, and it had a beautiful back yard. There are a number of fun activities in the area. We would definitely stay there again.

LOVE this house! Came to town for a wedding. It was a perfect for everyone in our family. Clean, cozy, and close to everything! And the beds were so comfortable. Our other family members were jealous of our accommodations.

We came to Waconia for a wedding. This house was the perfect place for our family! It was walking distance to downtown, our wedding venue and the cutest restaurant, Lola’s. The beds, pillows and towels were all very nice. We also enjoyed the screened in porch and sauna!! We will definitely be back!!

This property was absolutely fantastic! Kelly was wonderful to work with, the house was very clean & had everything we needed (plus it was decorated SO cute & very charming), there was ample room to sleep, get ready, & hang out, plus it was in a perfect location and walking distance to the lake, restaurants, & bars. I definitely recommend this home if you visit Wauconia :)

Beautifully restored older home with tons of space for our entire family. Walking distance to shops and restaurants, ample parking, very clean, large yard, beautiful 3 season front porch, extra space in the lower level for watching tv or hanging out. Perfect for our group!

A beautiful home with lots of room for a fun gathering. We enjoyed the entire home, from the large kitchen, large living area, large dining area, and front porch, to the relaxing nice sized bedrooms, nice sized bathrooms, and a sauna to boot! Truly enjoyable. Our host, Kelly, was very responsive to any questions I had and very easy to communicate with. Anyone looking for a home to rent in Waconia would truly enjoy their stay. Thank you!!

We were very pleased with our experience at this property. It had all of the amenities and equipment we could have hoped for. While it is an older house, it has been meticulously maintained with significant money being spent on remodeling, especially in the bathrooms. The lower level, with a very large TV, sauna, and updated bathroom was a very nice surprise as well. We would happily rent this property again if the need arose.

We were so lucky to stay in this rental for about 2 months and it felt like home. It’s such a cute space and very large in terms of beds and baths for families or friends. If you have a toddler you will need blackout curtains in the summer but that’s about it. Really nice bathrooms and beds. Amazing location. Parks nearby. We loved the local restaurants. Kelly was a perfect host!

We had a wonderful 4 night stay at this property. Kelly is a fantastic host and thought of everything you will need down to the umbrella by the front door and cozy blankets to snuggle up in while watching TV. We cooked a couple meals in the kitchen, had a fire in the fire pit and lounged on the front porch with tea/coffee in the morning. The house is within walking distance to not only the lakefront, but lots of restaurants, bars, and a brewery!

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay. Immaculately clean, beautifully styled (but uncluttered, which we really appreciated with a two year old). Everything is bigger than it looks in the pictures and our group of six had plenty of room to spare. Check in and check out we’re both super easy and our communication with the host was lightening fast. Waconia is such a great little town and we loved being able to walk to everything. We especially enjoyed Mocha Monkey for coffee and Pangea for an amazing breakfast. We also highly recommend a distillery tour at J. Carver. All around great stay!

Group of 5 adults and 2 tweens for 4 day visit over Easter weekend to see families in the area House was perfectly set up as our home away from home. It’ll be hard to stay in hotel rooms again! Very comfortable with room to spread out. Love the craftsman style. Owner was so easy to contact with any questions. Thanks Kelly !

We had a lovely stay in Waconia for a long weekend. The house is beautiful with a lot of character! Plenty of space for six adults in the house plus a spacious backyard to enjoy. We had everything we needed and more- very thoughtful welcome note, treats, water plus paper goods to use for outside grilling and easy clean up. We were even able to take advantage of the sauna. Communication was prompt and seemless. We travel to the area frequently and everyone who visited said they would keep this house in mind when visiting Waconia!

We were in the area for our daughter's wedding and loved staying at this property. Everything was clean and the house was perfect for our needs. The house was easy to find and we drove straight to it. The host had thought of everything and the house was well stocked. We cooked most of our meals at the house and everything we needed for food preparation and eating was provided (except the food of course). We had forgotten to buy dressing for our salad and we even found olive oil and balsamic vinegar in the cupboard to make a vinaigrette! While there, we enjoyed playing horseshoes in the backyard, and also walked a few blocks to the marina on the lake. If we are in the area again we would stay at this location in a heartbeat.

This home has everything you could want for your home away from home. That includes a fully stocked kitchen with paper supplies, and ample dishware for entertaining. Each bathrooms include additional sets of towels and extra toiletries, just in case something was forgotten. We wanted to go to the lake one day and found a bag with beach towels and cooler ready to go. Kelly has thought of everything! The home was pristinely clean and beautifully decorated. We had a wonderful week visiting family in the local area and hope to stay here again.

This Waconia charmer definitely lives up to its name and Kelly is a wonderful host. This home was rented for family visiting from TN for a family wedding in Waconia on the 23rd and then to gather to celebrate Christmas. The home was immaculate and every need was taken care of. A welcome note, along with chocolates and a gift card to the local market was left to greet us upon arrival. It was close to main street Waconia and also to the church and reception for the wedding on the 23rd. Kelly responded quickly to any request. If you need a place to gather and celebrate with family or friends, we would all highly recommend this home.

We rented this place over Christmas to see family and it was so cute! Decorated for the holiday season and the photos didn’t do it justice. It had everything we needed to be comfortable. We borrowed a pack and play from our family. Great location and Kelly was super responsive. I love historic homes and this one is beautiful.I wanted to know the history after visiting! We will be back!
