This is the easy West Minneapolis stay: quiet, comfortable, and close to everything without feeling busy.
Set just west of Minneapolis, this newly remodeled walkout basement retreat gives you a calm place to land after a day in the city, around the lakes, visiting family, working, or exploring the west metro. Downtown Minneapolis, Edina, Wayzata, and Lake Minnetonka are all about 15 minutes away or less, but the neighborhood itself feels peaceful, safe, and relaxed. Inside, the space has an open concept studio layout, with the living, sleeping, and kitchenette areas all in one comfortable room. Rustic pine walls give it a cozy, cabin-like warmth, while the newly refreshed 2026 ensuite bathroom keeps things clean and modern. The large screen TV, kitchenette, and lounge area make it easy to settle in for a weekend or longer stay.
In summer, the lower level stays naturally cool, which feels especially good after a hot day around the lakes or downtown. You can come and go through the private walkout entrance, unwind with a movie, make simple meals, or step outside to enjoy the shared backyard, deck, and hot tub.

Residential, family‑oriented neighbourhood in the St. Louis Park / western Minneapolis edge (55426). Characterized by mid‑20th‑century single‑family homes, local parks and tree‑lined streets. Short drives to larger retail corridors, coffee shops and restaurants; convenient for guests who want quiet residential surroundings but easy access to Uptown and downtown Minneapolis.
By car: highly walkable for short errands; driving is the most convenient way to reach grocery stores, larger shopping and many restaurants. Highway access: quick links to I‑394 (east to downtown Minneapolis / west to the western suburbs), I‑494 and US‑212 for regional travel.
By public transit: local Metro Transit bus stops along nearby streets provide routes into Uptown and downtown Minneapolis and connections at major transit centers. Guests can use Metro Transit trip planner or Transit apps for real‑time schedules.
By bike/walk: neighborhood streets are bike‑friendly with nearby multiuse trails and local parks; expect standard Minneapolis bike infrastructure on main corridors.
The backyard, deck, and hot tub are shared. The owner lives upstairs with a dog, and the basement does not have its own thermostat. The lower level naturally runs cool, which is great in summer, but guests who get chilly may want to pack cozy layers.
