Ecco House | Luxury 6BR/5FB Cozy Winter Retreat w/Steam & Infrared Saunas by Lake BdeMakaSka

6 Bedroom House in Ecco, Minneapolis

This cozy winter retreat of a luxury lake home sits on a quiet street in Uptown Minneapolis, just 300 yards from Lake Bde Maka Ska beach.
With six bedrooms and five spa-like bathrooms, the layout works beautifully for families, groups, and getaways with friends. The space spans four levels, offering plenty of room to gather while also giving everyone space to unwind in privacy.
For those seeking balance and calm, the home offers a complete wellness experience. Enjoy a spacious steam sauna with bench seating for four on the second level, and a Finnmark full-spectrum infrared sauna with red light therapy on the third level for deeper restoration. Together, they create a private spa atmosphere—perfect for relaxation, rejuvenation, or mindful time alone.
The main level brings comfort and connection together. It features a jetted air tub for two, a fully stocked chef’s kitchen, and a dining nook for six to seven with built-in outlets for easy device charging. The open living and dining area includes a handcrafted 9-ft True North shuffleboard table and a spin bike for light workouts. A cozy bedroom with TV and an adjacent full bathroom with jetted air bathtub provide easy access for guests who prefer no stairs.
The lower level has a relaxed, artistic feel with curated pieces from local artists. A spacious family room with large TV, daybeds, and comfortable seating encourages long conversations or movie nights. A mini kitchenette with coffee and tea setup, and a playful kids’ foosball coffee table complete the space. This level also includes a creative-styled bedroom and a full bathroom with washer and dryer access.
Upstairs, the second level features a serene queen bedroom with soft gold tones, a kid-friendly room with a twin bed and bunk beds, and a full shared bathroom. The primary suite includes a king bed and an ensuite bathroom with the steam sauna, rain shower, and heated floors for a true spa-inspired experience.
The third level opens to a bright studio-style retreat with a queen bed, a sofa for lounging or sleeping, a TV for movie nights, and a small dining table ideal for tea, coffee, or quiet reflection. The full bathroom on this level hosts the infrared sauna with red light therapy for deep relaxation—please follow the sauna guidelines to enjoy the best experience.
With eleven beds plus a sofa bed, the home is ideal for families, corporate work groups, friendly reunions, or wellness-focused retreats.
Thoughtfully placed local artwork adds warmth and character, with select pieces available for purchase. Your host, a private chef, offers optional culinary experiences inspired by Indian-fusion and Silk Road flavors—or a full Ayurvedic dining journey using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Guests may choose private dinners, tasting menus, or grazing boards featuring house-made chutneys and seasonal delicacies. Please reach out for more information.
Entertainment includes a handcrafted shuffleboard table, foosball, spin bike, and classic board games. Outdoors, a landscaped backyard with pergola and flowing waterfall sets the scene for morning yoga, coffee, or relaxed evening wine.
Each level features its own bathroom and kitchenette area for privacy and flexibility, supported by fast Wi-Fi, central air, radiant heat, and keyless entry. Two off-street parking spaces are included.
A short walk takes you to the lake, wine bars, restaurants, and boutique shops. A stay here brings together comfort, wellness, good food, and easy city access—an experience that nourishes body and mind in every season.

Summary: This was a well stocked and appointed home. The host was fantastic and very responsive. The inside of the home was very clean, the beds comfortable, the small touches throughout were perfect for the space. A couple of items to note:Our host was phenomenal. His customer service was spectacular and above and beyond what I had expected.The kitchen and bathrooms have several great products that are stocked throughout. The steam sauna is actually a steam shower in the master bedroom. It is of great quality, but not a sauna in a common space.There is not a hot tub, as listed on the description. There is, however, a 2-person jacuzzi tub in the main floor bathroom.There were coffee and great teas provided for our use. It was so appreciated! In addition, there was a delicious charcuterie board and bottle of wine greeting us upon arrival! It was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed by our party!There is so much to do within walking distance. We enjoyed the lake, as well as restaurants and shops in the area. Parking was a breeze. There were two areas in the front, as well as two slots in the back for parking, which is difficult to secure in the area.The only reason that I did not give a full rating on the cleanliness of the property is due to the outside. There are several weeds that need to be sprayed, or pulled, on the back patio and curb. There has been a lot of rain in the area lately, so I understand it might be something that crept up on the property owners.
