Elegant Linden Hills Home, Family Friendly, Walk to Lake, Dining, and Shopping

The Best of Linden Hills: Walkable, Elegant & Family-Friendly

Experience the quintessential Minneapolis lifestyle in this elegant, character-filled 1907 home located in the heart of the prestigious Linden Hills neighborhood. Perfectly positioned between the city’s most beloved lakes and vibrant shopping districts, our home is a peaceful retreat that puts the best of the Twin Cities right at your doorstep.

A Walker’s Paradise
Leave the car! You are perfectly nestled between three iconic hubs:

Linden Hills Downtown (3-4 Blocks North): A short, scenic stroll brings you to the "downtown" of Linden Hills. Grab a world-famous scoop at Sebastian Joe’s, browse the whimsical Wild Rumpus Bookstore, or enjoy an award-winning meal at Tilia, Martina, or The Harriet Basserie.

Lake Harriet (4 Blocks East): Walk east to find the jewel of the Chain of Lakes. Enjoy 3 miles of paved trails, the historic Lake Harriet Bandshell (featuring free summer concerts), and the Rose Gardens. Whether you’re renting a kayak or grabbing a lakeside snack at Bread & Pickle, the lake is your backyard.

50th & France (15 min Walk / 3 min Drive): Head south to the region’s premier shopping and dining district. From boutique fashion and high-end spas to the historic Edina Cinema and upscale dining like Red Rabbit and Salute, everything you need is within easy reach.

The Home: Thoughtful Space for Families
Our home combines historic Linden Hills charm with modern, family-focused amenities:

Flexible Sleeping: Features two main floow rooms - Queen bed and a Full+Twin Bunk bed. King-sized bedroom suite with private bathroom and living space in the basement that’s perfect for families.

Lower-Level Family Room: A dedicated space for kids to play, movie nights, or a quiet hangout. The basement is a fantastic spot for movie nights or for kids to play. Because this is a historic home, the ceilings in the lower level are lower than in the rest of the house. For the safety and comfort of our taller guests and little ones, we have installed protective padding on corners and edges.

Outdoor Living: A fully enclosed backyard offers a private oasis with a fire pit for evening s’mores and a deck for outdoor BBQ and dining.

Travel-Ready: We’ve taken the stress out of packing by providing a high chair, pack 'n play, stroller, and a curated selection of toys and children’s books.

Getting Around
While the neighborhood is incredibly walkable, you are also just 15 minutes from Downtown Minneapolis, The Mall of America, Southdale Center, and MSP Airport.

Whether you’re here to sail Lake Harriet, dine at the city's top-rated restaurants, or simply enjoy a quiet evening by the fire, our home offers the ultimate Linden Hills experience.

Accessibility & Entrance
Please note that our home features a classic elevated entrance typical of the neighborhood’s charming architecture. There are approximately 10 steps required to reach the front door, and there is no alternative accessible entrance. We want to ensure all guests are comfortable with this layout before booking, especially when considering luggage or mobility needs.

Place was perfect for our family of five. Could easily sleep more. Impeccably clean. Incredibly responsive hosts (even provided snacks and freshly cookies, as well D delivered extra pillows mid stay). Well appointed coffee/tea bar. Only thing to point out for potential future guests is that downstairs / basement is a bit low for taller adults but perfect for kids. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
