About this place

Welcome to Lakefront Cottage!

This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom lakefront home offers the perfect getaway in Tonka Bay, nestled between Lake Minnetonka’s upper and lower lakes. Enjoy a private dock with a 26-ft boat slip, spacious backyard with a fire pit, propane fire table, lounge chairs, and propane grill. The chic interior is ideal for creating lasting memories. Located in a cove off Gideon Bay, it’s a short walk, bike ride, or boat trip to downtown Excelsior. Under Minnestay’s 5-Star management, this is your new favorite summer destination!

Layout:
Lakefront Cottage accommodates up to 3 cars. A private office welcomes you upon entry, with a 3/4 bathroom nearby. The fully stocked kitchen includes a 4-burner stove, dishwasher, and ample counter space, adjacent to the dining room with seating for 6. The cozy living room offers a large couch and Roku TV.

Upstairs, the primary bedroom features water views, a king bed, Roku TV, and an en-suite bath with a walk-in shower and dual shower heads. The two queen bedrooms offer Roku Smart TVs and share the third bathroom with a bathtub and shower combo. All 4 Smart TVs offer live cable, Hulu Live TV, Netflix, Disney+, ESPN+, and HBO Max.

The expansive backyard leads to the dock, perfect for a paddleboard ride or evening s’mores by the fire pit.

*** DOCK: The 26-ft boat slip is available on the west side of the dock, with occasional access by the owner’s boat. Advance notice is given.
