Refuge Westside avec Jacuzzi et Patio

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.

The Space
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.
