Great hosts, beautiful property right in town

The house is 100+ years old but has been lovingly kept and upgraded! Hosts are amazing and provide everything you’d need except food and your toothbrush! House is in an older quiet neighborhood but restaurants are a short drive or even walk away!

Charming Place in St. Paul

I stayed here for a week with my teenage daughter, and we both loved it. It’s very charming and spacious. The kitchen is very large, and there were two bedrooms for privacy. It was in a great location and near everything we wanted to do. I highly recommend it!

Great location

We were in town for a Minnesota United FC game, and this place was perfect! We were 10 minutes from the stadium, a jucy Lucy burger, donuts, you name it. Beautiful home with enough room for our family of 5 not to get on each other’s nerves. We will definitely be looking to stay here again next year!

Another Great Experience

This was our second stay at this property and second five star rating. House is well equipped and very clean. Location is great. The house is a short walk to at least two great restaurants and less than 5 mins by car to the children's museum of Minnesota and the Science Museum. Communication with host was excellent. Looking forward to another stay next summer on our way to the North Shore.

Great way to enjoy St Paul!

Great bottom duplex with all the amenities of home! Perfect for our family of three as a home base while enjoying all the attractions St Paul. Off street parking space was a huge bonus during a late season snowstorm. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for a low key, relaxing stay. Neighborhood is safe, quiet, and convenient.
