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 was our second stay at the Holiday Haus Zwei and it was, once again, an excellent stay. The house was perfect for a friends gathering from near and far. The living/ dining area was great for visiting and playing games. The beds were very comfortable and you can't pick a better location with great proximity to downtown. No driving needed!Dan and Char are super hosts and very responsive with any questions! Will definitely stay again. Thanks!!

Clean, comfortable

Lovely home, comfy, very clean and super close to downtown area (bars, restaurants etc). In spite of the weather being boiling hot (we are from Arizona and the 90 degree temps would have been fine but what is with this HUMIDITY) we had a great time in New Ulm! Hosts were very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!!

Functional Historic Home

I’ve driven past these historic homes on Broadway hundreds of times. It was fun to finally stay in one. There was plenty of space for the family to congregate and then spread out. It’s an easy stroll downtown or up the hill to the college. Definitely could see staying there again.
