Moxy Downtown Minneapolis
Click here to book Moxy Downtown Minneapolis
Downtown Minneapolis is full of hotels, but none that are as fun as the Moxy! We love the contemporary style of this place, which makes it feel like you’re staying in a downtown loft, not just another hotel. We never wanted to leave the vibe of the bar and lounge…or our room’s balcony – such awesome views! Also great if you have some Marriot points to spare!
Cottage Grove Treehouse
Click here to book Cottage Grove Treehouse
A treehouse, right here in Minnesota? Yes please! Located in Cottage Grove, this treehouse consists of 4 different levels, multiple balconies, and even a hidden room! The quality of craftsmanship in this place is out of this world.
Hotel Landing Wayzata
Click here to book Hotel Landing Wayzata
Walk around downtown Wayzata and Lake Minnetonka while staying at the Hotel Landing. Eat at on-site restaurant, Nine Twenty Five (and even reserve an igloo in the winter!), or relax in the Laka Spa – one of our favorites in Minnesota for couples steam showers and massages!
Minneapolis loft
Click here to book Minneapolis Loft
Looking for a fun spot but with a lower price tag? This quirky Minneapolis loft is right next to downtown Minneapolis and has such a cool design. We spent our anniversary here with champagne and enjoyed the balcony – such a bonus!
