50 step to the Heart of Wayzata

This is a charming older home with a lot of character, and we enjoyed many aspects of our stay. However, there are a few things prospective renters should know to determine whether it's the right fit for their group.When we arrived about an hour after check-in, the garage door was open and someone was working on a project in the driveway. This turned out to be DeeDee, the house manager. She was friendly and helpful, but it was a bit unexpected to arrive at a vacation rental and find work still being done on the property.Before DeeDee left, I specifically asked whether the propane tank for the grill was full because we planned to barbecue that evening. A few hours later, when I tried to use the grill, it would not start. After checking, I found the propane tank was empty. Fortunately, I was able to locate a replacement tank in the garage and get everything working, but it was an inconvenience that could have easily been avoided.The biggest consideration for future guests is that this is truly an older home, and some of its original features may not be ideal for everyone. The antique doorknobs caused multiple accidental lock-ins during our stay, which became frustrating and could be especially challenging for families with young children. The basement stairs are also very steep, and the lights were not working during our visit, creating a potential safety concern.We also found the television setup difficult to navigate, which made it harder to relax and unwind in the e

Location was amazing and the house was nicely decorated and furnished. Very clean

Wayzata is a lovely spot and this house is ideally situated. No need for a car rental or Uber/Lyft. We got our steps in and saved some money doing so. Plenty of grocery and restaurant options. The local gift shopping is quite pricey, only a couple of affordable shops. For example, 500 for a simple shift dress is a bit out of any of our price ranges.The beds are comfortable, plenty of towels, and the kitchen was well stocked. A variety of snacks were left for us which was a nice touch.

The house was clean and picked up. Incredible location and a super polite host.Unfortunately, the home layout was odd. The main floors only have one bathroom and the second is in an unfinished basement that requires you to walk down in the dark. I had to kill 4 spiders before starting the shower. Also, there is no dishwasher.The location really is the best so if that is your first priority, this could be the perfect house for you!

Clean, comfortable and very convenient location. A nice updated bungalow in an upscale neighborhood.

In area for a wedding. Close to everything we needed and great place to spend some time together instead of 3 hotel rooms

We had 7 adults and the house worked well, particularly gathering together in family room. 5 to 10 minute walk to restaurants and trails.

Very good location.

Beautiful property right down the street from downtown Wayzata. We enjoyed sitting out on the front deck in the mornings and evenings. Walked to the lake each day and around Wayzata. Great location!

Great location, great place.
