Description
Blocks from Lake of the Isles, minutes to anywhere in Uptown, Bde Maka Ska or the Walker Art Center and Sculpture Garden, this gorgeous, spacious home is a winner of five design awards and has been featured nationally on “This Old House”.
Bright and airy throughout, the décor of this special 6-bedroom, 5-bath home is “Scandinavian minimalist”, and is enhanced with happy hearts throughout all four floors. This 1905 home retains its old-world charm with refinished original oak floors and fixtures on its main floor, carefully blended with the recent remodel which added improvements for modern life. These improvements include a new front porch with push-button retractable screens, radiant floor heating in the master bath, hypoallergenic indoor air, 200-amp service, and 3 outlets for EV’s (including one Tesla stoop outdoor outlet). The washer and dryer are centrally located on the second floor.
The bedrooms are all distinctive and lovely. The central landing on the second floor leads to a the master bedroom with a large walk-in closet and full en suite, a shared full bath, a queen bedroom with wardrobe, a queen bedroom with half en suite, and a full bedroom with views of the tree line. The third floor includes a sweetly decorated twin bedroom, and a resplendent king bedroom with skyline views, a sectional couch, private sink, and a walk-in closet. And just across the hall is a bathroom with clawfoot bath tub.
There are a variety of places for people to gather and hang out. A sun room features an 86” tv with surround sound and bass booster and the other living area is furnished for conversation, with a table great for board games or noshing centered among comfortable easy chairs. Featuring a long, built-in window seat, recline in the sunlight with one of the onsite books, or one of your own. Eat casually at the built-in breakfast nook in the kitchen, or perhaps you prefer the formal dining room which also favors a relaxed vibe.
In the basement, an additional entertainment area welcomes leisure time, where you can lounge or take advantage of the monster TV screen, not far from a built-in bar area with a mini-fridge, microwave, dishwasher and wine cooler. In good weather, if you’re not out seeing other Twin Cities sights, you can enjoy backyard fun grilling on the deck, simply relaxing on the patio, or enjoying sunsets from the front porch equipped with automatic screening.
When the weather isn’t so favorable, it’s a short walk from your car to the driveway side entrance. In front, a generously-sized mud room with plenty of storage space provides room adequate for a carload of people to comfortably make the transition between indoors and outdoors
This is the perfect home away from home for families or groups looking for temporary lodging or a vacation home in Minneapolis. Walkscore.com rates this area as a biker’s paradise with a biking score of 94. There are nearby public transportation options with frequent availability. Just north of Uptown and minutes away from downtown, you can be close to a variety of restaurants, stores, parks and attractions.

I booked this place on behalf of the company I work for—5 guests from our international offices were in town for a week. They raved about this place: beautiful space, great amenities, and very comfortable for a group. Would recommend to anyone!

Lance and team were amazing! They made our stay special from the minute we booked our stay. 5 star service!! Our kids loved the toys and big screen tv room! I highly recommend!!!- Stephanie , Posted: 08/10/2018
Best airbnb I have stayed in to date. The house is beautiful, with incredible finishes - fireplace, chefs kitchen, large flat screen TVs, heated floors in entrance and master bath. It was an amazing place to gather friends and colleagues. Neighborhood is beautiful as well, was safe and quiet. Easy and secure to enter the house. Room for a car if you have one. Lance was responsive and thoughtful. We had an issue with a broken light switch and it was fixed within the day. We were traveling for a conference at the Hyatt Recency (also near the conference area). It was a very convenient car ride away from the house. If you ride share, build in time for your car to arrive - wait times could be long.- Amelia , Posted: 10/05/2018
Wonderful neighborhood and very convenient to everything. Large TV room a plus and outside spaces very nice.

Lovely home, cozy and clean, fantastic location.

Kenwood Manor is up and away the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in whilst visiting Minneapolis. The home is beautiful, spacious, impeccably clean with all the charm and comfort you’d hope to have with a large group. The minnestay team took amazing care of us from the moment we booked it right thru our last day. Every request and need was met with ease so we could enjoy time with family. There is not one thing we’d change about this home and our next visit to Mpls will hopefully include a stay here! Thank you for such a beautiful holiday in this fabulous house!- Katy T , Posted: 10/28/2018
If you like perfection for your family or group this is it. Being my first AirBnB experience, I was very happy with this house and experience. Such a cute house in a fantastic area of Minneapolis, and close to great restaurants. The team at Minnestay is easy to work with and went above and beyond answering all questions I had. Would not hesitate at all to recommend this place. And I’m a picky person!

A beautiful and comfortable house with old world charm but modern updates and amenities.

Fantastic!! Like a luxury hotel in a historic home!- Amy , Posted: 12/07/2018
This house was amazing! Very spacious, great for large parties and families! Lance had lots of children toys and books for the kids. Nearly everyone had their own bathroom and the house was stylish and spotless! Another huge plus was that there was a driveway (we were able to fit 3 cars), so you don’t need to worry about finding parking on the street! The location is perfect. Close to target center, walker art, and anything uptown! I highly highly recommend:) You will be blown away!- Regan , Posted: 01/22/2019
We held a staff retreat at Minnestay and had a wonderful experience! The house is absolutely lovely -- great spaces for lounging (inside and out!) meeting, cooking and sleeping. Lance was great about responding to questions about the space. The house is in a wonderful quiet neighborhood close to the lake and local attractions. We loved our stay and would recommend to others.- Cynthia , Posted: 07/25/2018
Great place and great amenities, host was very responsive throughout our stay
- Parker , Posted:
Great place - great location - great host - highly recommended- Steve , Posted: 08/05/2018
Our stay here exceed all expectations - it is in a fantastic location (a couple of blocks from the lake and quiet, peaceful neighborhood). It felt like a retreat! The house itself was beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches everywhere. We didn't need for anything and so appreciate the hospitality.
- Katherine , Posted:
Great host and home!- Luke , Posted: 07/12/2018
This is an amazing place! The house is sparkling clean, it has recent renovations and heated floors (bonus for Minneapolis winter). I was very impressed by the host's quick responses to my questions and personal touches. I will definitely choose this property again.

This house was beautiful!! It was very clean. We had 4 adults, 5 kids and two babies and there was plenty of room. The house was in a cool neighborhood. We were in walking distance to an ice cream shop, a park, a lake with a trail around it, and the sculpture garden. We had a fun weekend here with our families!
