Photos and Description of the Minneapolis vacation studio rental
Studio, 1 Bedroom + Other (See Description), 1 Bath, (Sleeps 2-3)

TRULY THE BEST LOCATION IN THE CITY! Gorgeous 1 bedroom suite, available nightly (3 night minimum stay April-October, 2 night minimum stay November - March) or weekly, in the heart of vibrant and eclectic Uptown, Minneapolis. Maximum occupancy is 3 persons.

No need for a rental car - you're within easy walking distance to EVERYTHING Uptown has to offer: award-winning restaurants, neighborhood bars, biking/walking trails and beaches, bicycle, canoe, kayak & pedal boat rentals, wind surfing, shopping, theaters, live music, grocery stores, coffee shops, salons, spas, banks and bus stops...all within a short 5 minute walk from your door at Inn Uptown! We've received the coveted 'Walker's Paradise' rating from Walk Score dot com. Check out the link below to see for yourself that this truly is the BEST LOCATION IN THE CITY!

This bright and sunny garden-level studio is conveniently located in our beautifully renovated 111 year old private residence and has its own PRIVATE ENTRANCE, private bath with sumptuous Cambria counter tops, ample floor to ceiling cabinetry, glass shower, stainless steel sink with pull-out sprayer, and hair dryer. The Kitchenette has a small refrigerator/freezer stocked with water, orange juice, organic oatmeal and breakfast bars, microwave oven, coffee maker and tea assortment. But with so many great restaurants, deli's and coffee shops within a few blocks, who wants to eat in?

Just 15 minutes from MSP International Airport and 1.6 miles South of downtown.

Uptown was just voted the #1 Best place to live in the twin cities by Vita.MN.

Why Kent Kramer chose Minneapolis

We were enchanted by the close proximity to the chain of lakes (Lake Calhoun, Lake of the Isles, and Lake Harriet), and the easy access to biking and walking paths around the lakes and city.. We love being able to walk to so many award-winning restaurants, and our vibrant eclectic Uptown neighborhood is the best in the Midwest!

If you are lucky enough to be coming to Minneapolis when the "Inn Uptown" is available, make your reservation right now! Perfect location. Great host. Immaculate, fun interior with a retro feel. Thoughtful details like: water and OJ in the fridge, coffee, teas, fluffy towels, and wooden hangers. It's a gem.

Great location; close proximity to the Uptown area, restaurants, shopping, Lake Calhoun. Owners provide a comprehensive manual to the property, the area, and menus from various restaurants. A warm and charming home with privacy and quiet! Wonderful alternative to "the hotel stay". Immaculate lower level apartment with all the comforts of home!

Uptown Delight

My wife and I were in Minneapolis to be with our son on his first Christmas away from home. We were extremely lucky to have fun the Inn Uptown for our stay. It was only blocks from our son, and it made it extremely easy to enjoy the Christmas holiday with him. The Inn itself was clean, warm and very comfortable. Kent was extremely nice upon our arrival, and was very informative on what was available to us in this location. The location is perfect. Only 1 1/2 blocks from Lake Calhoun, and about 2 blocks from many restaurants and shops in the wonderful Uptown district. My wife and I also used the bus and railway transportation to get to downtown and, eventually, the airport. The inn is in a great location, and is an extremely comfortable 'getaway'. We will definitely recommend the inn to all and will be returning sometime in 2013. Thank you Kent and Jill for sharing your wonderful Inn.

Great place in Uptown!

This is a place that I would like to keep secret; just for us to stay at when we visit Minneapolis. Our daughter lives nearby, so the location in Uptown is not only perfect for us to visit, but it's convenient to the best restaurants and stores. The unit is clean, large, and perfectly appointed. While its a garden apartment, it is bright and well heated, including a gas fireplace if there is a slight chill (it was cold when we visited). Very private also. We also enjoyed Kent's wonderful collection of memorabilia.

This is one of the most charming Inns we have stayed in throughout our world travels. Perfectly located to our beloved family, lake-side walks and all that is the glory of Minneapolis. We rank it tops in charm, comfort, convenience, cleanliness, quietness, value, totally recommendable, et al.

We stayed at this studio for our quick weekend get-away. Decor is 50-60s funky, place immaculate. The neighborhood cannot be beat for access to the chain of lakes and great restaurants. Follow owner Kent's advice on restaurants and our recommendation for the Nicolai Fechin exhibit at the Museum of Russian Art (there through early Jan.) Even though we live 50 minutes away, I know we will be back. This was just too fun.
