About this house rental
Imagine living at the peak of Victorian opulence and luxury, but with all of today's comforts and amenities, and you'll have The Lion's Greene. We are confident we have the best house with the most amenities for the lowest price. Find another 6BR 4BA home with a pool for less and we'll match it!
Painstakingly restored and renovated, this 6BR, 4BA, 4-level, 4,500 sq ft home means there is space for, and something for everyone. Restored historical interiors with all-new plumbing, electrical, insulation and heating, means this home looks like old, works like new :)
Each bedroom more amazing than the next, with its own unique story, professionally designed, and all feature at least one walk-in closet with built-in storage.
The Louvre: filled with art and photography, featuring a vintage double bed with tufted headboard, and direct access to the 2nd story deck. Enjoy your coffee and relax watching the sunrise. Or, watch the sunlight sparkle off the city skyline as the sun sets.
The Bishop's Bedroom: rich and lavish, this room will bring you closer to heaven with an amazing solid oak double bed and satin sheets. Featuring vintage marble-top vanity and walk-in closet with original leaded glass window.
The Aviary: Designer fabric ceiling, shimmering wallpaper filled with birds, 2 walk-in closets, an amazing hand-carved, marble-top sideboard, and King Bed make this room cozy and bright. Enjoy the private sunroom directly off this bedroom, leading to the 2nd story deck.
The Admiral's Turret: Regal and majestic, this room is an homage to The Admiral himself. Blue, gold, and green hues echo the oceans and the seas. Dive into the king-size bed with waves of pillows. A hand-carved,18th century English sideboard from The Admiral's personal collection stands next to the bed.
The King's Suite: pretty much says it all. See it to believe it. 12' ceilings, 40" wide crystal chandelier imported from an Italian house of royalty, fireplace and mantel, cozy reading nook, master closet with his/her dressers, and a bathroom too amazing for HGTV.
White Trees in The Onyx Lounge: King bed with unimaginably soft faux fur bedding and pillows. Custom tile accent wall with fireplace. Big modern dresser and large double closet for anything you travel with.
The Onyx Lounge in the lower level features seating, custom built-in bar, BA, exercise room with elliptical, TV, and sauna. 4K projector and 110" screen for an AMAZING place for movie-night, gaming night, or whatever you want to do with 110" and 4K pictures.
Your outdoor entertaining and relaxation options are abundant. Play, swim, relax in the 16x33' pool (additional charge)! Take it easy on the limestone front porch, or on the expansive rear sun porch/deck. 2 bedrooms have access to the 2nd story deck. 1st floor sun porch has 55" 4K smart HDTV. Large 5-burner professional gas grill (read item 10 about the gas), table that seats 6, and an outdoor seating seat with couch, chairs, ottoman and other seating. Open the 2 French doors, and suddenly you have an outdoor area that flows into the sunroom for one heck of an entertaining scene.
The home is located a mere 1 mile from Target Field/downtown Minneapolis, in the historic Old Highland neighborhood. Insanely easy access to light rail, public transit, and all major highways. Minutes to the North Loop, Uptown, NE, and other desirable Minneapolis neighborhoods. Also, 2 miles from Theo Wirth Park, one of the biggest and best regional parks in the country. City-living + easy access to outdoor recreation. Seriously, we can't say enough about Wirth. Whether it's mountain biking, cross country skiing, golfing, hiking, swimming, fishing, sledding, or frisbee golf, this park, with the new Loppet Trail Head facility, has become a regional (and national-wide, host of the US Open Skiing event) destination for outdoor recreation. Check it out, directly west of the property right down the road. And 1 mile in the other direction, you can walk along the Mississippi. Best of both worlds.

*Certain amenities are not guaranteed to be available, mainly tub and pool. Due to the nature of these, we cannot guaranty them nor will any refund be given for their status. Mainly, these are for reasons outside of our control: if something breaks down, or if the last guests leave it messy, or if the chemistry just decides to go bonkers, these are all things outside our control and won't be responsible for.

Right on the bus line, although personally I believe the street isn't that busy, and the new windows do an amazing job of keeping the home quiet.

Property is very cool and near downtown. Also lots of parks within 5 minutes. Owner did a really nice job decorating for the holidays. Rooms are comfortable and we were able to manage the temp well. Easily fit 11 people. Could probably have a few more.

The house was beautiful! And the host was very communicative. Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique space
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
We had such a wonderful time staying at this property! The house itself was so cool. Every room had its own unique charm, and the decor was just stunning. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into creating a stylish and comfortable space. It was also spotlessly clean, which made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. We truly appreciated the attention to detail, and everything we needed was provided. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and beautifully designed getaway!
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
We wanted to have a family reunion at a location where we had room for everyone to share a meal and visit. We chose this house because it would accommodate up to 99+ people for a gathering and was pet friendly. We had 35+ people for dinner and the house worked for us.
The host was available by phone and text a while after we arrived so we could tell him of our concerns with the house. The next day he told us by text that he was 300+ miles away in a location where he was “nearly unreachable with no service” and he was “unable to find anyone” to address our house concerns. We made do. We used disposable dishes, glasses and silverware because the dishwasher didn’t work properly and we bought fans to circulate air on the main floor since the only AC unit on the main floor didn’t emit cold air.
I had to take out an insurance policy before reserving the house. After our stay a claim was filled to replace a dining room chair, an antique lamp and repair flooring. I informed the host about the broken chair, but I was unaware of the lamp or floor damage. I’ve asked specific questions about the damages but did not receive direct answers. I was “You’re insured. That’s what it is for”.
A great deal of time, work and money has been invested in this house and it shows. The online pictures and description make it sound perfect. One day, maybe it will be.
