The Hawthorne: 4 bedroom Mission-Style Home, Minutes to Downtown

Now decorated for the holidays, perfect for your family holiday, work gathering, or any holiday gathering!

We've been hosts for 8+ years and are "Superhosts." Please read listing thoroughly for all information.

A beautiful 4BR Mission-style home that features original oak woodwork, a boxed-ceiling dining room with buffet, all new windows, refinished maple floors, an updated kitchen with stainless appliances, professional gas range, dishwasher and disposal, and a large fenced backyard with rear deck. Great for travelers looking to stay minutes from the city yet close to highways and other transportation.

This house is in the McKinley Neighborhood of Minneapolis. Located 2 miles from the edge of Downtown Minneapolis (the North Loop area) and just across the bridge from North East (NE). This home is close to everything, yet easy access to highways like 94, 694, 394, 55 and 35W.

Professionally decorated and furnished, this is a home with character and charm, not just a place to sleep. Comfy and elegant, this home is fully equipped with everything you need to live and function. Featuring a 65" 4k HDTV, and high-speed wireless internet great for steaming or doing business.

This has been a full-time Short Term Rental for the last 7 years. It's all we do. Previously listed on other websites, we're finally offering it on VRBO! We've hosted hundreds of guests and many events such as weddings, reunions, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, etc.

Some things to note-
IMPORTANT: please review all house rules. Just changed to Instant Booking. All circumstances of your stay must be clarified, additional fees may apply. If you book, it's assumed you've reviewed and agree to all terms and conditions

The basement is not accessible to guests while it undergoes renovation. There may be some evidence of construction in the yard like staging/storage of materials.

The garage is not available.
Work MAY be done (with guest's explicit permission) to the basement or outside area during their stay. This normally applies to longer-term stays. Would not disturb the guests nor enter the main living areas.
No central AC. Each BR (except main level) has window unit, 1 unit on main level in LR
*The home is located 3 miles from the middle of downtown. With this comes an amazing, centrally located home near anything you want to do. It also comes with certain things that come along with the inner core of the city. If you're wanting the burbs, this isn't the home for you. On a busier city street, although the new windows do an amazing job of keeping the home quiet. Plus the home is on a hill, so street noise is very minimal especially in the backyard.

House Rules (we will also send these prior to check-in and they include a user manual of sorts)
*park in back, fence to fence. Do not park on neighbor's driveway. Enter via back gate. Enter via the backdoor.

You can certainly have other guests enter in the front, just use back door for main exit.

*There is NO smoking inside the house of any kind. Smoking inside will be an automatic charge of $TBD.

*Shoes off inside at ALL TIMES! No exceptions. This has been proven by the CDC to reduce germs and overall reduces wear and tear to hardwood floors, carpet, etc.

*There is absolutely NO moving of furniture (dining room chairs are the exception). If you need something moved, please let us know. Moving furniture is the EASIEST and surest way to damage the floors. Scratches from violation of these rules may result in damage charges.

*Stays over 1 day must water the flowers as needed. If you're unwilling or unable to do so please let us know. Any flowers damaged due to lack of water will be charged. We are not a hotel with gardening staff- pretty flowers need water. If you cannot water please let us know.
