Our family was in town for a wedding. We love the location. Walked to breakfast and to the river. Wonderful neighborhood of old Victorians. The house was very spacious. We didn’t use the kitchen however it appeared to have everything we would’ve needed. The beds were not very comfortable. Our daughter ended up sleeping on the couch for two nights because her bed sunk in in the middle and she was very uncomfortable. Newer mattresses would’ve given this five star rating.

Tanya C., Louisville, KY

The house is located in walkable St Paul, there is a Whole Foods and some restaurants nearby as well as the A and B line metros. The house has a fully stocked kitchen and is spacious. Everything is a bit dated, both the home, outdoors and furnishings. Two of the bedrooms are connecting and have a glass panes door in between. The doors on the other two bedrooms do not close well. It’s a good place to stay, the area was safe and convenient.

Located in a nice neighborhood it was very convenient to Macalaster College which we were visiting. Everything about the home was comfortable, spotless and up to date for a lovely older home. It felt like home in the very best sense. Perfect for our small family group and we hope to return next year!

Perfect for Family of 5

This house was perfect for our family of 5 since we have 3 adult kids and they can each have their own room, usually they have to share. A lot of relaxing space for each of us to unwind after our adventures. Host was quick to message and everything was just as it was posted. Love the charm of the house! We would definitely stay again!

Highly recommend this property!

Our stay was absolutely perfect. Ali was so quick to respond to any of my questions and was so accommodating for my family. It made the plans for our family get together so smooth and simple. The space was perfect for my niece’s birthday party with just close family. We had 3 kids 7 and under stay at the property and there were plenty of games and activities provided to keep them occupied. We used the grill to make hot dogs and brats one night and it was simple and convenient. The kitchen was well stocked with all the pots, pans, and utensils we needed for all of our meals. The gathering spaces are spacious and cozy. The property is located in a wonderful neighborhood close to restaurants, a grocery store, and other fun activities. I would definitely stay at this property again and would encourage anyone who is considering it to do the same.

Great location in Saint Paul

We had a lovely stay at this home! Lots of great space to sleep everyone with comfortable beds. We were dropping a child off at Macalester college and the location is fantastic. There are yummy places to eat close by-we walked down the street for ice cream one night! We were there in a hot spell and the air conditioning was great and saved us! I would happily stay here again!

Lovely home, excellent service

My son & I stayed in this home during a winter college event at Macalester College. We had so much fun! This home was easy to find, it is extremely well-kept, check in was simple, and most importantly, the location was safe, convenient, and perfect for our family. I received quick responses from the host regarding any questions that I had. They were extremely hospitable. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home! It was the perfect stay!
