About this place
A beautiful 1920s cottage on 1.2 wooded acres on a quiet Arden Hills street, 15 minutes from Minneapolis and St. Paul. It feels a world away. Cared for by Luke and Beka. Cozy fireside sitting room, peaceful sunroom with a hanging swing, well-stocked kitchen with a coffee bar, and a glass-walled backyard studio. Hot tub and sauna open year-round. Comfortable beds and thoughtful touches. Sleeps 10. Built for friend trips, family weekends, and anyone who could use a good exhale. Come rest. The full cottage is yours. Main level: cozy fireside sitting area, writing desk, and living room with a sleeper sofa and Frame TV. The kitchen opens to a sunroom with wraparound benches and a hanging swing. Best seat in the house for morning coffee at sunrise. Coffee bar with a Nespresso machine and a full drawer of teas. A record player for slow evenings. Upstairs: four bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens, 2 twins) with comfortable beds, sound machines, and bedside chargers in every room. Full bath upstairs, second full bath on the main level. Treetop views from every window. Out back, the glass-walled studio hosts dinner parties, photoshoots, and quiet afternoons. Unheated, so best in warmer months. The hot tub and sauna sit just past the deck, open year-round. String lights on a timer for evenings outside. Full cottage access. Follow the driveway left through the trees. Keypad code arrives the day before check-in and changes with every guest. Garage is on the property but not accessible. Contactless check-in and check-out.

Stayed here for my bachelorette and it was perfect!! We felt so secure knowing Luke was just a message away if we needed anything at all. Lots of space for both lounging and sleeping. The hot tub was a hit for the group too! We took advantage of the record player with the Taylor swift vinyl!! Such a cute little cottage. Would definitely return!

Our stay was amazing! It felt like a secluded cottage while only being 20 minutes from Minneapolis. The house is bigger than it looks in photos and beautiful. Outdoor space was awesome as well. Overall, such an amazing stay with a wonderful host. Thanks for having us!

Luke has a great cottage for a larger group of people. Relaxing to sit in the hot tub or go sit in the glass house and have a nice lunch. 5/5 would recommend and stay again!

My friends and I had such a fun time there. It’s in a quiet area and everything is easy to work from checking in to working the hot tub! The short trail and photography room was also a fun bonus!

We had a weekend at Luke's place with five girls. The amount of space was perfect for that many people, and we felt right at home. The space is so peaceful and beautiful. We particularly loved spending time in the glass house on the property for brunch or doing crafts. We cooked together, watched shows, had quiet time reading in the beautiful and comfy living rooms...had an overall restorative and fun weekend. I would definitely recommend Luke's place for small groups who want to enjoy some getaway time together but still feel like everyone has their own private space. The bathrooms were spotless, and the downstairs shower felt like you were at a spa! I am so excited to book this home in the future, we will definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cottage! We hosted a girls weekend and had a beautiful whimsical time using the greenhouse for dinner parties and late night laughs and board games. We were absolutely blown away with how private this location felt! Everything was so magical and perfect! We would absolutely stay here again!
