We rented a pontoon July 3rd from Tom at Bayto Bay to kick off the 4th of July holiday and took 9 friends on a cocktail cruise around Lake Minnetonka. Everything was perfect! The staff does all the hauling and lifting of our all our stuff(bags, coolers etc) the boat was in new condition, clean, and had an easy to use porta potty a big plus. Tom takes his time to educate you on the lake, channels and bouts so when we headed out we had not a care in the world. This is so much better than owning a boat- it's has a full tank of gas (included in the cost of the rental) life jackets, fire extinguisher, blue tooth for our music, and if a I mention a porta potty! I would highly reccomend Bay to Bay to anyone wanting to spend sometime on a beautiful lake, in a beautiful boat and have everything taken care of for you.

This is a large park just outside downtown Excelsior. Great views of the lake. There is a beach, ball park, and plenty of places to sit for a picnic.

This bookstore is a real gem! The owners are extremely knowledgeable about the merchandise they carry. Ask owner Ellie to recommend a book. She is excellent at finding the right book for each reader. Outstanding selection of children's books. Cute, funky decor and comfy places to sit and read make this a nice shop to spend some time. They also carry a unique assortment of hand puppets and some beautiful pottery.

Stopped by 318 on a whim while out and about in Excelsior with a friend yesterday, which happened to be a chilly Monday. Was thrilled to find the Cafe packed with diners enjoying the daily fare! We enjoyed the Chicken & Wild Rice soup (creamy and a tad spicy), the yummy quiche of the day, the savory & sweet crostini, green tea and specialty coffee (Dirty Shelby)—everything was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed! Highly recommend Cafe 318–for breakfast, lunch and happy hour!???? They also offer dinner and music performances...checkout their Facebook page for upcoming performers.
