Good location
It was a great location close to downtown! We utilized the discount boating team and they were great too. The house was on a quiet area of the lake

Great location and great house!
We stayed here for a week while visiting family and friends and it was just what we were looking for. The house had plenty of space for our family of four and to entertain our guests. Our kids loved swimming off the dock and we enjoyed watching the sunset from the patio. The dock was large enough for our boat rental and still had space for our kids to swim. Definitely check it out if you are looking for a great place on Lake Minnetonka.

A Gem on Wayzata Bay!
This was a special place. Our party thoroughly enjoyed the access to the dock and water. Four adults and 2 children stayed in the main house, and we also rented the guest house on the property for additional lodging for two adults. The kitchen had pretty much everything we could have asked for to make our meals. We only needed to bring in food! We rented a pontoon boat from a local business and spent some part of every day on the gorgeous lake. Our weather during our two week stay was nearly picture perfect. Thank you for the GREAT family memories!

Beautiful week on the lake
Slice of heaven tucked in a quiet bay on Lake Minnetonka. 3 families (7 adults), 5 kids spent a week. The house is not as big as it appears in photos and was just enough room to sleep everyone. We would not have fit comfortably without also renting the guest house. This was a perfect quiet place for our parents to be separate from the main house with all the kids. There is only a half bathroom on the main level so adults sleeping off the kitchen/laundry area have to go upstairs to shower. The master suite is huge compared to the rest of the bedrooms. This allowed my sisters family to have space to put a blow up mattress to sleep 2 younger kids. The family room is not large enough to accommodate our party of 12 but we made it work for evening game or movie watching. Be very careful when cooking, we set off the smoke alarms every day while cooking bacon. There is no fan/exhaust in the kitchen. Thankful that the fire dept didn’t end up at the house at least once during the week. Otherwise, the kitchen has everything you need to cook meals in, plus 2 full sized grills. The lake is pristine and very clean. The lake is HUGE and was great for tubing but skiing was only possible early morning or late evening. We rented a pontoon boat for the week which was nice and brought our own Chapparell ski boat.. The outdoor deck and seating is nice with a flat surface to the lake which was great for my older parents. There is no extra yard for yard games and a small space for a night time fire. Being on a slow no wake portion of the bay allowed for nice paddle boarding. I brought my own from home and the nice neighbors let us borrow theirs for a paddle. Wayzata is an expensive/upscale area so plan accordingly. Overall, we had a great week at at the lake and Scott the owner was available by text for anything we needed.

Beautiful Lake Home
Beautiful lake home on Wayzetta Bay. We live in a lake home ourselves but this was so fun because it is so close to the water. The downstairs almost feels like a luxury houseboat. Lovely patio, long dock, nice size bedrooms, amazing master suite with a wall of windows overlooking the lake. Great restaurants nearby. Scott the owner is awesome, very helpful and welcoming. He is knowledgeable about the home and area. We were able to rent a pontoon to enjoy the larger lake and boat to lunch. Our teens loved it. Nice kitchen and laundry room. Boys loved the television/entertainment options. Quiet neighborhood easy access to twin cities. We really enjoyed our stay. Thanks Scott

About the host

I had to wait 15 years to buy this house/LOT because they never come up for sale on Wayzata bay. Wayzata bay, on Lake Minnetonka is close to the city of Wayzata and downtown Minneapolis. Everything you want to buy, like food etc. is just 1/2 mile away. Wayzata is a spring feed lake so its clear and no weeds - great for swimming. I have been renting this house for only 1 year, but I have been renting out my other homes in Naples, Florida for 8 years so I am organized and know what people want when on vacation. Everything you would ever want is at the house because its my main house and I left everything in place to use: 50' Plasma TV (2) new furniture, BBQ and all the linen and kitchen equipment you'll ever need. You can reach me when anything goes wrong.

Why they chose this property

Wayzata bay is a DEEP WATER bay close to Downtown Wayzata, so its the best location on Lake Minnetonka. Spring feed clear water, no weeds, Deep Water always, and a low speed (no wake zone) traffic. Wayzata bay is close to Hwy 101/Minnetonka Blvd where all the shopping is: grocery stores, resturants, hardware stores, excercise clubs, gasoline and wine shops/on/off sales. the regional mall is only 2 miles away and the best golf courses (public) in all of Minneapolis 5 miles away (Rush Creek GC). 1 mile to 494/394 which is the freeway circling the city. 20 minutes to the International airport (MSP). this location is beautiful during the month of September for fall colors and great weather. See my web site to see more pictures etc.

What makes this property unique

Its a 4 bedroom house with great views over the lake and a quiet street. Boating docks for your rental pontoon or other speed boats you may want to rent. Howard's Point rents the boats, or rent from individual owner for 50% less.
