Holiday Haus Zwei

This nearly 100 year old craftsman-style home sits on Broadway Street in the center of town, just a block from a bustling downtown which includes, restaurants, boutiques, coffee, ice cream, cocktail bars, parks and so much more.

Recently voted Best Place in Minnesota to Live and a Top 10 MN vacation destination, New Ulm is a quaint, charming yet vibrant gem in south central Minnesota. Home of the 2nd oldest family owned and operated brewery in the United States, Schell's. Its packed calendar of festivals make it a year-round destination.

2,800 square feet, you will love the charm of this old home including the beautiful hardwood floors, french doors and high ceilings. You will also enjoy the great outdoor space in the back yard made for entertaining or simply relaxing after a long day. The property has two off-street parking spots; a garage stall as well as a carport adjacent to the garage stall.

We are life-long residents, (or Bewohners if you sprechen sie Deutsch) of New Ulm and are close by to answer any question you may have quickly via phone, text, email or VRBO messenger.

New Ulm is well known for its Bavarian roots and it pervades almost everything. From day one, the city was designed as a free-thinking utopia filled with parks every few blocks.

New Ulm is famous for its German festivals such as Bavarian Blast (formally Heritagefest) in July, BockFest in March at the mansion grounds of August Schell of Schell's beer fame, and of course, TWO full weekends of Oktoberfest (Oktober) activities. New Ulm is the host of many baseball, hockey and basketball tournaments.

Our home is just a few blocks blocks from beautiful German Park with its fountain, gardens and brand new amphitheater. It is less than a block from historic Turner Hall Turnverein Club complete with bar and restaurant (Rathskeller).

Our home is located almost smack in the middle of town making walking downtown a breeze. There you can find everything from live music to German restaurants (Kaiserhoff), or our Glockenspiel, one of the few free-standing carillon clock towers in the world! You are also just a few blocks from Johnson Park if you want to take in a baseball or football game.

This is our second year in a row staying here. Pics are exactly what it looks like. Main floor bathroom only, no shower. However upstairs and downstairs full shower. Beds comfy. WIFI and cable great. Great location to downtown. Communication with owners excellent. If you forget something they have anything and everything you need, just like a hotel. We will be staying here again.

Close to all the places. The house was just as described and well stocked. The main floor bedroom and toilet were perfect for my elderly mother. The younger one enjoyed the parks and swimming pond. The older ones enjoyed Schells and the historic sites. Would stay here again.

Best Location and Lovely Home
Wonderful large home to stay with a big group of people. We stayed for Bockfest and had the best weekend! The house was clean and in walking distance to the town center. The host shared helpful information beforehand on transportation from the house to Shells brewery. The hosts were kind, accommodating, and very easy to communicate with. We would love to stay here again!

Lovely home
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely home. The interiors were nice and clean. We were in town for my uncles funeral and our hostess was kind and accommodating. It was centrally located and in easy short drive of everything we needed. My sisters and I enjoyed our stay even though it was a sad occasion. We visited with our host and turns out she went to school with my cousin. Small world.

We get a VRBO yearly for our group of 10-12 girls. The house was within walking distance to all the local shops. The kitchen was a bit small for food prep, but the dining room table was great for meals and cards. The living space was nice and open. One single bed on the main level great for those who have trouble with stairs, however no shower on the main. The house had everything we needed. Room enough to spend out, and comfy to snuggle in. The beds were very comfortable and all linens for bathing there already. She even had everything in the bathroom should you need or forget something. Just like a hotel would. The yard was great for outdoor games. It is on a busy street. The noise of the traffic never bothered us. Parking is tight, but easily fixed with being able to unload and just park on the street. We had trouble with the cable and Char came right over to help. She even had a little gift for us to share. We will be back in the future for sure!

This charming house was a wonderful home base for our explorations of New Ulm. From the bottle of wine awaiting us on the kitchen table to the lovely patio seating, our girlfriend group had a relaxing time. By chance we met the gracious owner who shared favorite New Ulm gems with us. Don't miss Schell's Brewery and the Wanda Gag House. Both are very interesting.

Really enjoyed our stay except (1)parking was very tricky for 5 vehicles. We had 7 people all 68 years of age. Two stairwells do not have bannisters so that was very difficult for them. Last day we were bitten by some fleas on the outdoor lounge area. Otherwise we had a great time!!
