Lake Phalen Place, steps from lake & trails

Lakeside living at one of our Flagship Rentals properties, a spacious 4,700, 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home along the picturesque shores of Lake Phalen. Lake Phalen Regional Park features a sandy beach area offering canoeing, sailboat rentals, and a paved bike/walk path. Enjoy golf at the Phalen Park Golf Course. Located just 10-15 minutes from the Mall of America, MSP Airport, and Downtown Minneapolis, and a quick drive to Downtown St. Paul, Xcel Energy Center, Ordway theaters, and Children's museums nearby.

Our home is ideal for short stays or month-long stays. Take advantage of our off-season discounted daily rate or monthly rates.

Our rate is based on four people staying at the home. Any additional guests above the initial four will incur an extra fee per guest. We offer this "value-added service" to ensure you're only charged for the actual number of guests rather than a flat rate for the entire home. This rate structure is designed to provide savings and flexibility to our guests when the number of people changes or when smaller groups would like to stay with us. Should the number change after making a reservation, let us know, and we will adjust the rate accordingly. We are committed to being flexible and accommodating to changes, recognizing that plans can evolve.

*Guest Private Use and Access: Guests have exclusive private use of the 1st and 2nd floors of this 3-story home (the total guest space is 4,700 sq ft, five bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and the front yard and stone patio overlooking Lake Phalen). There is separate private access via the three-season porch. A shared driveway can accommodate two cars, and additional street parking is available. Our focus is your privacy while renting Lake Phalen Place.

*Separate Owner's Suite: The home's lower level (basement) includes a separate private owner's suite and attached garage. There is no cross-traffic or shared living spaces; it's a separate entry. Guests cannot access or use the lower-level Owner's Suite, backyard patio, or attached garage. The owner reserves the right to access and use the separate private owner's suite at any time. We prioritize our Guests' privacy.

College friends for 58 years!
We knew that this extremely clean home would be amazing, as we have rented it before - a dream kitchen, lots of comfortable seating for a big group, spacious bedrooms, wonderful beds, great bathrooms, super location (love walking around the lake), and most of all, an excellent host. We cannot recommend it highly enough. We shall return!

Great Family Get Together
We had enough room for our entire family, and it was GREAT! We have a son, here with us in the Rochester area who brought his wife and 2 children out, a son in Apple Valley who has 2 children and our daughter who also lives in the Minneapolis area. I also have a sister in the area who was able to come out and join us for dinner one evening. There was plenty to do around the area which kept us all busy. And the big TV screen was GREAT to catch up on the Olympics in the evenings. THANKS for letting us borrow your beautiful house!!

Great for our family
This was a great property. I disagreed with a previous reviewer who said this was not good for small children. We had a two year old in a five-year-old and this was perfect for all of our family. Everything was available to us inside the house they had a well-stocked kitchen. Check in process was great. We had one little issue and it was taken care of immediately. I would definitely stay here again.

Read before you book – not good for young families
The home is beautiful&spacious but wish I had read old reviews. The house is good for groups, but renters make it hard for groups. Home is not good for young families. Where you’re told to park does not match where you can actually park. You’re allowed to park in a small part of the driveway – while most of the driveway must stay open for owners. You are asked not wear shoes in the house to preserve the floors. This was offputting as the first thing you see when you arrive. Owners live on site. I asked before & rental company skirted my question. We were not comfortable because we were walking on eggshells the whole time. The host set up the dining room for tea w/ china. While I appreciated the idea, not great for us w/ 2 young kids. We had to put up the decor and china on our own, hoping we didn’t break anything. It was not clear how much of the property we could enjoy. One night, the owners had a fire pit going in the yard, which made us feel like we could only be inside. I didn’t like that the owners had the option to come into the house. While they did not – or we did not see them in the house, we could also not trust that they were not in the house while we were not there. We never felt like we had privacy. We felt nickle and dimed in our reservation. My 1 and 6 year old counted towards guests & we had to pay for 3 other guests who didn’t stay at the rental the entire time. Thankfully, we used it as a place to sleep, and were out and about. Will not stay again.

Reunion Escape
The accommodations of this home were perfect for our reunion group of longtime friends from all over the country. Spacious rooms made everyone comfortable. Walking around the lake and spending time on the patio were most enjoyable. Grocery and convenience stores were nearby, and the driving time to the many sights, museums and restaurants in Minneapolis and St. Paul were good. A day spent in Stillwater, MN was delightful This particular location is easily accessible from the airport.

Great property in a great location
This was a great location for us to hold a week-long family reunion. Its proximity to the lake was wonderful, as it allowed the older members to sit outside and watch the sunrise and allowed the younger members to go swimming at least every day. It was also easily drivable to lots of restaurants and attractions in the area. The bedrooms were great and there were plenty of bathrooms for the entire crew. The ground floor master was perfect for the mobility-challenged guests. The only snag was that the air conditioner did not work for the first twelve hours when we arrived during a record heat wave, which made for an unpleasant night, but the management was easy to deal with and the problem was resolved by morning. Overall, we loved our stay and definitely recommend this property!

The house is beautiful, spotless, very comfortable, with all the amenities and appliances needed to cook for a big crowd, and with such a comfortable living room with a gas fireplace where to spend evenings and play boardgames.
