We loved our stay at the Ridgewood house! I stayed with my husband and two small children, along with my parents, when we were in Minneapolis for my sister's winter wedding. This house was great for our group.
The kitchen and main living spaces are gorgeous and the kitchen is well-appointed and a breeze to cook in. Everything we needed was there, and then some! Great coffee set up, and the dual fridge/freezer and ample counter and cabinet space made our stay very easy. The open kitchen with the bar seating made it easy to chat while cooking or eating.
The bedrooms are also spacious and the ensuite baths were great to have for each room. Everything was sparkling clean. The unique layout of the home meant everyone had privacy while also having easy access to the common areas - important for us to not wake our older son and the grandparents when our infant woke up in the night.
The location is superb - easy access to the highway but also close enough to walk to the Wedge, CVS, etc. Lovely neighborhood feel with nice views. Driveway parking was great to not have to find a close street parking spot. While we didn't have time to visit many of our favorite Minneapolis spots as we were in town for a wedding, this place would have been great for visiting the Walker Art Center, for example, or the many great restaurants and theaters in Loring Park. And it was easy to get downtown as well.
Alana, our host, was great at communicating with us, checking in when we arrived and before we left to make sure we had everything we needed. She also provided a great list of local recommendations. Would highly recommend staying at the Ridgewood house! Thanks Alana!
