Great week in St. Paul

Beautiful house near all the activities we were interested in. Lots of family owned restaurants in the area, and close to downtown St. Paul. The only thing I would have liked, is dressers in the 2 bedrooms. When staying for a week I like to put my clothes away.

Clean and cozy home

We stayed 2 nights with my teenage boys and 78 yr old mom. Very clean older home. The backyard is very nice with fire pit and treehouse: would be fun for younger kids. Nice neighborhood. Lots of steps in home: FYI for older folks. Very well stocked home and kitchen- everything you need.

Cozy, Comfortable, Beautiful

Our group of 8 young women found this house to be SO pretty and cozy. We were able to just hang out comfortably and enjoy the comfy living room and hot tub in the evening. The bedrooms were all comfortable. Heidi, the manager, could not have been more helpful and responsive. Go ahead and rent this one...you won't regret it!

Nice weekend stay

Great house and easy check in! There was lots of room to sit, chat, and have a nice girls weekend in the twin cities. Plenty of street parking. Only thing is that the faucets were difficult to turn off completely, both the kitchen and bathroom sink faucets leaked slightly.
