My sister and my two young kids (6 and 9) had an absolutely wonderful time during our three days at the lake. The house is reminiscent of an 80s or 90s (large) house on the lake, and its charm and simplicity have been preserved. The house isn't crammed with unnecessary and cluttering Wayfair furnishings and signs (no disrespect!). I just want to stress that the house is simple and perfect. (We love resorts, but also love simple, clean, lovely). There are THREE big bathrooms, lots of beds (mostly air) and a great kitchen for cooking and preparing meals. The indoor porch area is a great space to collapse with a book. The outdoor porches are also great spaces to chill and read, draw, write. (The house has perfect WIFI but best to remember we all survived before those distractions and can thrive without them :)) The nightsky is beautiful and my daughter and I loved looking at the moon and stars (many more visible than in Mpls). Finally, the lake. If you want South Beach, this is not it. It's quiet, lovely, and serene. You won't swim by the shore due to the algae that Lake Minnetonka has everywhere, but you can paddle out on a paddle board about ten feet from the end of the dock (or dive off, like my sister) and -- enjoy :) If you prefer a public beach, there are those, as well as Lake Minnetonka Regional Park which has a man-made, lightly chlorinated, sand-bottom swimming pond that my kids also loved. (The host, Debbie, is wonderful, BTW.) Would stay again in a heartbeat.
