Minnesota's Most Extraordinary Stays

A hand-curated collection of Minnesota's most extraordinary homes — lakefront estates, historic manors, and design-forward retreats across the Twin Cities.

THE MINNESTAY LUXURY COLLECTION

Every Home, Personally Selected

We don't list every property in the Twin Cities — only the ones we'd stay in ourselves. Each residence in this collection is inspected, styled, and maintained to a single standard: better than a hotel, and unmistakably Minnesota.
