Wonderful cottage in about the most beautiful setting possible. Birds singing each morning. Lake Harriet is just steps away, a path from the back takes you to the bandshell and playground - and good ice cream! The village of Linden Hills is 2 blocks - such wonderful walking to and fro along the shore of Harriet or through the beautiful tree lined streets. Harriet Brasserie, Tilla are great for dinner. Zumbro is delightful and delicious for breakfast and brunch. Off peak travel to downtown was only 20 minutes.
The cottage is well equipped for cooking, the hot tub and patio delightful. It's a vintage cottage with quirks, that in my opinion make it all the better. The upstairs bed (only one we experienced) is well broken in so if you need a firm mattress this could be a challenge.
We definitely hope to return, maybe to even rent the Big House in front with our family.
