MINNESTAY* Excelsior Commons ★ HomeTheater ★ Massage Chair ★ Minnetonka ★ Office

This expansive, 3-story home is located less than 2 miles away from the heart of Downtown Excelsior on the southeast side of Lake Minnetonka. With a bright, updated kitchen, ranging backyard, home movie theater, and private office, there's everything you need for your next big vacation or extended stay away from home!

Pull up into the 6-car driveway and make the most of this bright and updated suburban home. The first floor includes a large, fully stocked and renovated kitchen with a large island, 6-burner stove, new appliances, and a complimentary bottle of local wine. The open floor plan is perfect for hosting gatherings of families and friends, with the adjacent dining area and island bar stools providing a dynamic experience. Call up your best piano player or let us hire one for you, with the Kawai Baby Grand, tuned and ready for your very own private concert!

Across from the kitchen is the living room lounge, where you'll find comfy couches, cable TV, and a customizable Shiatsu massage chair. And if you thought TV was relaxing before!

Just off the front entry, you'll find a private office with a long, wrap-around desk. This property is ideal for those who need to telework while they travel, whether it's a business trip, working vacation, or waiting for your home remodeling to finish up. When you're ready for a classic summer cookout, step out on the back deck and grill up a storm. The backyard is big and wide, perfect for tossing the frisbee, or letting the kids expend some energy. From there, it's up to you to explore upstairs or downstairs next!

Downstairs, you will find the home movie theater, wet bar, ping pong table, and treadmill. Sliding doors open up to the back yard, or if you're lucky enough to claim the Full-size bedroom, you'll have your very own bathroom as well. Following the staircase up to the 2nd floor, you'll find the master bedroom with en suite, including your very own jacuzzi, shower, and walk-in closet. The 2nd floor also includes three more bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a TV lounge, and a long hallway desk with two spots for work or study. Excelsior Commons is truly a home with space and amenities for everything you need!

Was good all in all, but has some wear and tear/age
We enjoyed our trip all and all, but our biggest complain was that there were some things that made the price feel steep in comparison. -Wifi speed -TV and bose system didn't work great -Temporary paper blinds in the master bedroom - walls had some decent wear and tear -screen door was off it's track That being said the place as a whole did work out great for us and the location is great! And it did meet our needs really well. Just some things you expect at this price and location

Expected a bit more for the price
It's a lovely house and suited our purposes well. For the holiday price we paid and the required minimum stay, though, we expected more.

Great for large families
My family stayed here for a weekend to celebrate Christmas and it was a perfect choice. The kids enjoyed the hill in the backyard for sledding while adults watched from the warm kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, it was great for preparing large meals and included all of the tools and space required for feeing a big group. The great room was perfect for gathering and we loved playing Christmas music on the baby grand piano. It was roomy, and there were plenty of spacious bedrooms and bathrooms for people to be comfortable and get away when needed to relax in a bit of quiet. The downstairs room was great for playing ping pong and watching movies and it was nice to have another fridge and bar area for snacks all day long. Would love to come here again!

Spacious Comfortable Home for Large Family
Thank you very much for the use of your lovely home! It worked very well for extended family during our son's wedding. The spaciousness of the house was really great and we enjoyed the piano. All was wonderful except we needed a couple of extra blankets. Also could not easily turn off air conditioner so we found a child's sleeping bag to keep warm. Lighting in the main living area was super bright and could not be dimmed, so we sat in the dark in the evening. In the upstairs hall bath, the lid of the toilet seat is detached. My brother removed an active hornet nest from under the back deck. Still, a great house we would gladly recommend to others!

Great place with tons of space!
Good location away from city to relax after a long day of seeing the local sights or hitting the mall. Lots of room for the family and nice amenities. A few smaller maintenance items kept the property itself from a 5 star rating but nothing that would keep us from staying here again. And Lance from Minnestay helped with a booking issue and was insanely helpful!

Great place (bring a few blankets and pillows)
Beautiful! Spacious and very clean. Needs blankets on beds (not just bedspreads) as well as a few extra blankets and pillows in the closets. TV in the basement didn’t work, shower in one bathroom didn’t work properly, and the massage chair is locked in demo mode, limiting you to just 0:30.

This is a beautiful, welcoming home and great location. We enjoyed all of the amenities and the house was very clean. We had plenty of space for our extended family to dine with us in the welly appointed kitchen. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms conveniently placed. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend it, thank you!
