I really enjoyed my several-day solo retreat at the Cottage in early Jan. It was the perfect, peaceful, cozy spot to reflect and refresh. The Cottage itself was the epitomy of hygge with cozy lighting and comforting conveniences and other touches. The neighborhood and area were easy and nice to walk and explore. And Carolyn was an incredibly thoughtful host. I hope to stay again in warmer weather so I can enjoy what looks to be a beautiful patio/garden area.

The cottage was very private, clean, and nice! The only issue we had was when we first go there we weren't sure where to go in. We read our info more closely and were able to figure it out without a problem.

The Cottage is a cozy getaway spot for 1-2 people. Quiet neighborhood and a private driveway so you don’t have to worry about your car. A very good breakfast/lunch restaurant just a short walk away with several other restaurants in the area. Or do your own cooking in the kitchen. Good area to take walks. Very nice place - I’ll be back.

My husband and I stayed in the cottage for three weeks while visiting friends and family in the twin cities. What a delightful and convenient spot to call home during our extended stay. The cottage was beautifully decorated, impeccably clean, offered an abundance of storage space, and there wasn’t an item, nor convenience overlooked! And, Carolyn’s warm and genuine hospitality was the icing on the cake. We were beyond impressed and highly recommend!

This lovely beautifully cared for property was again our base for a week long visit. The secluded and very private outdoor space complemented the clean, bright well decorated interior. The added private sitting room (The Nook) was a great place when one's partner needed a nap.
The neighborhood is conveniently located with easy access to the metro freeways as well as the airport.

We enjoyed our stay at The Cottage. The Nordic Nook and the outdoor space were great bonuses. The most comfortable, clean and best property we have stayed at in Minneapolis.
Carolyn was an awesome host! She was helpful and quick to respond to questions.
We hope The Cottage is available for our next trip.
Thank you Carolyn for sharing you charming property with us!

We are enchanted by this property. It is an amazingly comfortable, thoughtfully designed, beautifully appointed cottage in a quiet, friendly neighborhood near Lake Nokomis. The location is ideal for accessing excellent nearby walking trails and Minnehaha Falls. There also are several excellent restaurants and shops nearby.
We were delighted with the absolute comfort of the Murphy bed and all of the other furniture. The kitchen is well equipped and all appliances throughout the space worked well.
We also enjoyed the lovely private garden area with a gas fireplace and "The Nook" which offers yet another place to relax, watch TV, or enjoy an indoor gas fireplace.
Carolyn, the owner, is gracious and responsive to any need or request. We cannot imagine ever finding a better place to stay in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. It is truly an exceptional "hygge haven".

We were very surprised at this wonderful find in Minneapolis! Close the the airport, neighborhood that has everything you would need for your stay. Close to the VA hospital also if appointments is the reason for your visit. Easy access and nice separate space “The Nook” perfect for working or artist who need some space or privacy. Really fir us a absolute perfect location! Carolyn was needed for a small issue and she was quick to respond both via email and physically. So happy to have this sort of customer service. She has a wonderful slice of VRBO heaven in MSP!

I’ve stayed at the Cottage twice now. Once since the Nordic Nook was added. I used the space to paint and relax on a down day. I found it to be a very comfortable retreat in the city and your hostess makes sure you have everything you need during your stay. Soap & paper products included, as well as laundry! This was a nice & convenient touch! Quiet neighborhood makes you feel safe and you are only minutes away from lakes, the Minnehaha Falls, highways and restaurants.
I highly recommend a stay at the cottage when you visit the twin cities. Can’t wait for my next stay! It’s a home away from home. Thanks again C! 😁

My husband and I stayed here for 4 days and had a wonderful time! Everything was perfect and more than we could ever want in a place. We are local so this was a bit of a staycation for us and we were able to relax and have time together. It also allowed my husband to work in the Nordic nook while I had time to myself. Would love to stay here again!!

My husband and I fully enjoyed our stay at the Cottage. It was clean and very modern. The property was easy to locate and was only a short 10 minute drive from the Mall of America. The Nordic Nook was the perfect getaway spot to relax and refresh. We will for sure be back!!

This is a cute, clean, updated cottage with all the amenities. Even in the middle of winter, it was cozy. Just 4 blocks to a grocery, coffee and bagels!
5.0
Extremely clean. Welcoming entrance: key entry worked efficiently, soothing music playing, soft lighting illuminating the entire space. Flat terrain for biking and hiking. Walkable to: grocery stores, post office, library, bakery, restaurants, Lake Nokomis and its hiking path around the lake and connection to many other parks, and a bus stop just two blocks away with its connection to other buses and to METRO Light Rail. Easy drive or bike to restaurants and small businesses/shops beyond a mile or two of walking. Airport “noise” was not an issue at all. The cottage was quiet and serene. We stayed in January two days after several days of significant snowfall followed by a coating of ice on sidewalks and streets. The driveway was plowed and ready for our arrival. Most helpful to us were the brochures and maps, instructions, and lists of restaurants and other nearby amenities valuable to daily life, a successful stay, and to a new adventure.

Not only was this property extremely clean but it was beautifully decorated, right down to the adorable little birds placed throughout the home and the lavender infused water for the aromatherapy infuser!! Bed was comfy and warm. Perfect size with plenty of kitchen items to cook and eat with. I cannot express how helpful the owner was as well. Very quick to answer any questions and very kind.
Will definitely be back! 😊

I stay in VRBOs across the USA and this is a one-of-a-kind gem. Carolyn's attention to detail is simply amazing. From the interior design and decor to the lighting, linens, furniture, landscaping and more, everything at The Cottage is on point and has been planned with great intentionality. The Cottage is ideally suited for those who place a high value on finding the comforts of home in a peaceful setting while on the road. Lastly, Carolyn's communication is terrific and also reflects her attention to detail.
5.0
This property is a comfortable, relatively new detached back yard cottage in a well kept neighborhood near the airport. The furnishings and appliances were in excellent shape. Nice decorative touches and plenty of room. There is outdoor seating and a fire table for the not too cold nights. Check in was a breeze and Carolyn was available is we needed anything. We were able to check in a little early and check out late due to our flights, which was great. Several local stores and restaurants within walking distance, along with a lake. Very close to the airport, which does have the only downside to this property of some aircraft noise. It did not bother us at all, especially given the lack of flights at night but if you are very noise sensitive it might be an issue. We would stay here again without hesitation.

This property is like a little fairy tail land. The cottage is decorated so sweetly and every space is used effectively and expertly in its design. You have all the comforts of home and more. Then, sit in the zen-like garden, grill or use the fire table in the outdoor space. Finally, “the nook” is like a little studio. If you need privacy from your mates, you’re working on a project or just plain working — it’s a great little refuge. Twinkle lights and candles complete the fairytale 🧚♀️ A great home away from home.

Clean, comfy, and cozy cottage
As an ikea fan I loved this tastefully and efficiently planned space. It was so well stocked (kitchen, bath, and laundry) that we lacked absolutely nothing. This quiet neighborhood is close to the airport but we heard no airport noise. We had easy access to highways making it simple to visit family stretched across the Twin Cities. One night we even returned to find fresh cut flowers on our doorstep. It was a very comfortable visit.

This is our second stay at this property. We were guests in The Cottage and enjoyed the additional amenities of the private yard and Nordic Nook.
Carolyn has a flawless sense of style and no details are spared in decor, comfort, and information. The Cottage is welcoming and spotless. If you love quiet, privacy, and easy access to all the Twin Cities has to offer, check this out.
