A very pleasant family gathering
We enjoyed the property - but we felt that the sleeping options for 10 (3 couples and 4 children) could have been better. The sofa bed and futon were only just adequate for our kids. Still, we had a very good visit and would recommend the property. The open living/dining/kitchen area with lovely outlook onto leafy trees was the best feature.

Beautiful home and location.
A beautiful home in a lovely neighborhood. The house is close to restaurants and shops and it’s easy to get anywhere in Minneapolis from the location. The park next door is a plus. The views are oriented toward Lake Harriet and the park, and it’s easy to walk through the park down to the lake where the trail takes you around the entire lake. The proprietors keep the home in perfect shape.

Linden Hills Christmas Stay!
This is our 4th time staying at this Linden Hills property and it never disappoints! It was our first time visiting Minnesota for the Christmas holiday and it was such a great and memorable experience for our family. As always the house was well stocked, clean and cozy. Can’t wait to come back!

Urban Retreat, Never Disappoints!!!
This is our third time staying at this Upton home and we love everything about it! The location is awesome; the home is well laid out to have friends and family over for dinner, and it is super cozy and extremely clean! The hosts are so easy to communicate with and are so accommodating. Can't wait to stay again in December for Christmas!

Relaxing urban getaway
The property is lovely. While the front of the house is located on an active suburban street, The back of the house is nestled into your own private forest. The main floor accommodated a comfortable group gathering setting. The bedrooms were very comfortable. Everything was very nicely appointed.

Our 2nd stay here and it’s just as nice
This is a great house. The location is perfect, right next to Lake Harriet and the Linden Hills neighborhood. The house is very clean and the kitchen is large and new! We had our adult children and 2 grandchildren with us and there was plenty of room.

Lovely home
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home a short walk from Lake Harriet. The space is great for families (we had 7 adults and a baby) with a large open gathering space with beautiful views of the park-like setting. We hope to be back!

Great location for Lake Harriet walks.
The house worked really well for five adults and three children. We had great access to Lake Harriet and easy parking for three vehicles (with one in the street always nearby). We appreciated all the details that were supplied: laundry soaps, K-cups, paper products, and so on. Interactions with Kristy were perfect.

Highly recommend!
We stayed here with our young kids for two weeks and have nothing but positive things to say. The house was super clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for our family of 5. The hosts are very responsive and easy to communicate with. The location is excellent, a quick walk from linden hills center, the lake, and multiple parks. We recommend staying here and are hoping to stay again in the future!

Beautiful and Comfortable for a Group!
House was perfect for our group of 8. Kitchen was very well-stocked for dining in (host has thought of truly everything!!) and we enjoyed morning coffee on the deck, among the trees. Comfortable sleeping and gathering spaces. Fantastic location walkable to great restaurants and the lake, but still peaceful like being up north. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Perfect
We were in for a family wedding. Myself, a few siblings and their spouses called this home for the weekend. We had children and their children, (also in for the wedding) stop by to take a walk to the park, the lake or into the village. A bonus, the Catholic Church was walking distance. There was plenty of 'living space' inside and out to gather, talk to a few, read a book or just sip on coffee. It was a Peaceful, lovely weekend.

Perfect Family Retreat
This is our second time staying here over the holidays. We arrive from WI and one son with family flies in from Colorado. Our MN son and 2 children also stayed. There are beds for all of us, including a Pack N Play for the little one. Shops and restaurants are nearby. We are centrally located from other family members in Bloomington and Eagan. The kitchen has everything! The view of the lake is beautiful.Everything is top notch.

Sister’s Weekend
My two sisters and I stayed at Linden Hill over a long weekend. We had an absolutely wonderful time! The house is so charming and spotlessly clean. We spent a majority of our time in the living room, kitchen and dining room overlooking beautiful fall foliage. We prepared meals, listened to music and watched movies. The house is very well appointed and equipped with everything. The bedrooms and baths were lovely with plenty of room. The evenings in the area were so very quiet. Kristy was very responsive and helpful with all our questions. We had an opportunity to meet Kristy while we stayed at the house. She was delightful and encouraged us to reach out if we needed anything. We would stay at this property again in a heartbeat!!!

Great location, great house
This place is amazing. I grew up visiting Minneapolis every summer and spent many days/nights at Lake Harriet - being able to be in this location with my kids was magical. In addition to being walking distance to the lake, you are right in Linden Hills and can enjoy local coffee shops, bakeries, stores. The house is beautiful, clean, and works amazingly well for families. We would definitely stay here again!
