We enjoyed our stay at Gopher House! The host, Megan, was very responsive and welcoming. House was very clean, well appointed, and was a great location for us during our visit to Minneapolis. Loved the off street parking option, and proximity to the U of M and downtown.

Host with great communication. Home was clean and very unique! We really enjoyed the fitness room and game room. If we are in the area again hope to stay here!
10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
Wow! The Minnesota Gopher-themed decor was cool! The whole house was very clean and ready for us to move in for 4 days. Location was perfect for us - we were in town for Minnesota Wild hockey game and Mall of America. The hosts were great in communicating back and forth when checking in and out. The property has a large garage converted into a fitness center with a game room/arcade upstairs and a sauna on the main level - the grandkids enjoyed these features a lot! If we choose to do this again, we will definitely book this house again! A
