Join the Opening List →Tonka Bay sits on Lake Minnetonka between its upper and lower lakes. It incorporated in 1901 and had 1,442 residents at the 2020 census. It is one of the 14 incorporated cities that border the lake.
When TotalCare Cleaning comes to the Lake Minnetonka area, Tonka Bay will be part of the coverage. This page covers the local details that matter when you are keeping a lake home clean here.
Like much of the lakeshore, Tonka Bay owes its start to the resort era. The Lake Park Hotel first welcomed summer visitors here in 1879. It was renamed the Tonka Bay Hotel in 1908 and closed in 1911, a decade after the community incorporated as its own city.
Today the city is still tied closely to the water. Lake Minnetonka covers about 14,528 acres with roughly 125 miles of shoreline, and Tonka Bay's position between the upper and lower lakes puts a lot of that shoreline close to home.
Census detail for a city this small is limited, so this page does not guess at the exact housing mix. What every lake home here shares is the lake calendar. Records kept since 1855 put the median ice-out on Lake Minnetonka at April 14, and after that the traffic changes: wet swimsuits, sandy feet, towels and boat gear come through the door all summer.
A mat and a towel bin at the lake-side entry keep most of it off the floors. In winter the same door brings in snow and slush, with about 90 days a year of snow on the ground at the airport. Homes that host summer guests often benefit from a One-Time Deep Clean before the season and a Recurring House Clean through it.
Price follows bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage, not the lake frontage. See the cost page for every row.
Tonka Bay contracts citywide with Republic Services for garbage and recycling. Each household is limited to two garbage carts a week, and recycling is picked up every other Monday. After a big clean-out or a party weekend, that cart limit is worth keeping in mind.
For larger things, Republic Services picks up extra items such as appliances, chairs and mattresses for a charge by appointment. Cleaners do not remove furniture or belongings, so arrange extra item pickup before a Moving Clean or a deep clean of a storage room.
Tonka Bay holds a Fall Clean-Up for residents, usually on the third Saturday in September, collecting small furniture, debris and bundled carpet at the curb. It is a good time to clear garages, boathouses and basements before winter. Fall is also when insects head indoors: University of Minnesota Extension says Asian lady beetles fly to buildings from late September to late October, and vacuuming is the recommended way to remove them.
