Maria and William’s Lake Harriet home exceeded our expectations. It’s even nicer in person than in the pictures. Top-notch quality furniture, fixtures, and linens made us feel pampered. The location, steps away from the Lake Harriet band shell, was fantastic. We had coffee and pastries at the cafe next to the bandshell, overlooking the lake, every morning—except for the first morning when we enjoyed local Rose St. Patisserie pastries that Eileen left as a “welcome” treat. The Linden Hills neighborhood hood is idyllic in summer; leafy and green and full of people enjoying Minneapolis summer outdoors. Eileen and William’s enthusiasm for helping you get to know their unique neighborhood shows in their helpful “welcome” booklet. Best of all, when we asked to borrow the canoe, Eileen came right over with the key. That canoe ride on Lake Harriet was the absolute highlight for us. It was an adventure. We loved it! Thanks again, Eileen and William. We want to come back.
