About Robinson Bay
Location Highlights
Robinson Bay is a picturesque area situated on the east side of Lower Lake, flanked by Browns Bay to the northwest and Wayzata Bay to the north. This charming bay features a mile of shoreline that is primarily shared between the cities of Deephaven and Woodland. Homes in Robinson Bay are served by the highly regarded Minnetonka School District, making it an attractive option for families. One of the standout features of this area is its sandy beaches, a rarity on Lake Minnetonka, providing residents and visitors with a serene lakeside experience. Gibson's Point, a notable residential enclave within Robinson Bay, has historical significance dating back to the mid-1800s. It was here that Charles S. Gibson, seeking a summer retreat from Missouri, constructed what would become the largest house on Lake Minnetonka in 1877.
