About this property

Charming Linden Hills Cottage 800 feet from Lake Harriet, also near 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. Enjoy the woodsy view. The cottage is conveniently located in the midst of vibrant Linden Hills, but offers a private north woods ambiance. Walk just a few blocks to downtown Linden Hills where you'll find many unique shops and a variety of restaurants, from casual to fine dining.

    Step out the back door, walk along the historic trolley tracks and you will arrive at the shore of Lake Harriet. Enjoy the beach, rent kayaks, canoes, paddle-boats, or bikes. Enjoy the trails connecting the various Minneapolis Lakes. Just a short distance along the shore you’ll encounter 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, sweet sleeping nook w/queen-sized mattress. Full-sized stacked washer and dryer in lower walk-out level. Out the back door you can enjoy the private patio and have a soak in the luscious hot tub--glorious in winter!

    There are two TVs--one in the upstairs living room with a Roku stick. Second TV is in the lower-level family room, is a Smart TV, and also has a Roku stick.

The shower is difficult to get in and out of for an elderly person with mobility problems. However, the entire cottage is charming. The kitchen is well-supplied with implements and pots and pans and dishes. The location near two lakes is very nice. It is a peaceful, beautiful cottage.

Lovely Stay

We had a nice relaxing stay at the cottage. Everything we needed to cook a meal was available and restaurants and shops in Linden Hills are a short walk away. We loved being so close to Lake Harriet and watching the trolley go by. We loved having our meals in the breakfast nook. The hot tub is a nice amenity but we didn’t have a chance to use it. Would definitely stay again!

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!

We loved sitting on the back deck, enjoying the hot tub or just sipping a beverage watching the trolly go by & enjoying the wildlife back there. We saw a white squirrel and an owl. We walked around the lake and my husband fished. Just driving through the neighborhood was lovely and we enjoyed the restaurants around there too. Paisley Park is NOT TO BE MISSED. Book the 3-hour tour even if you're not an Uber-Prince Fan like me! The cottage was very comfortable and charming and the hosts were wonderful. I'd stay here every time I'm in the area!

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!

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.

Cottage in Linden Hills

We stayed in the cottage while visiting old friends in Linden Hills. We found the cottage to be very comfortable and clean. We liked the location as it was very close to Lake Harriet and a reasonable walking distance to restaurants in downtown Linden Hills. A nice quiet neighborhood.
