Very solid house. We very much enjoyed our stay. The house is large, well equipped, clean, comfortable beds, and in a great location. Just a few small things to be aware of: - large TV in living room looks great until your realize it’s old and can’t really play any current day apps. So we bought a Roku and installed in back of TV (which was tough to get to) in order to solve the dilemma. - internet outside of basement was weak. Host gave us back up internet which was better but still came and went a lot. Until they gave us code to locked utility room to reset the router. - location of large trash can and recycling bin is not in ideal location (up the hill outside of the fence) - lights in living room and hallway are very white lights versus softer yellow lights. Gives operating room feel. - no use of garage (which is mostly empty) was a bit is a buzzkill especially cause it snowed every day.

If you like walking/running/biking the lakes, this location is perfect, situated on the parkway between Lake Bde Maka Ska and Lake of the Isles, and (literally) immediately adjacent to the rail trail. The home is spacious with lots of sunlight, an open kitchen and a nice back patio. Minnestay (corporate hosting service) was responsive. My only criticism of this property is that the driveway is difficult to back out of because of the high volume of foot and bike traffic which uses the sidewalk to get from one lake to the other. But on the whole, we were very pleased with the property and service and would happily stay here again.

Our recent visit to Minneapolis felt less like a trip and more like coming home, thanks to our stay at Dean Parkway Estates through Whimstay. From the moment we stepped inside, every detail of this luxury residence radiated comfort and quality. The gourmet kitchen was a chef’s dream—beautifully designed, fully equipped, and inviting for everything from a quick breakfast to a leisurely dinner. The primary suite was equally impressive, offering a serene retreat with all the comforts you’d expect in a true home-away-from-home. What truly elevated the experience were the modern amenities that blended seamlessly with the home’s warm atmosphere. The multi-room sound system made it easy to enjoy music throughout the house, whether relaxing in the living room, preparing meals in the kitchen, or unwinding in the bedroom. Multiple high-definition TVs provided entertainment in every space, perfect for catching a favorite show or a late-night movie without compromising on picture quality. Equally impressive was the exceptional customer service from the teams at Whimstay and MINNeSTAY. Their communication prior to the visit was outstanding—they made sure every detail was in place for our arrival and provided quick, thoughtful responses to any questions or concerns. That level of care and professionalism gave us complete confidence that our stay would be seamless, and it absolutely was. Every area of the house—from the elegant living spaces to the well-appointed bathrooms—reflected thoughtful design and care. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it effortless to settle in and feel completely at ease. Dean Parkway Estates isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to live, even if only for a little while. It’s where luxury meets comfort, and where Minneapolis truly felt like home.
