The Berg House - Elegant City Living
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose St. Paul
We bought this house in 2005 when we moved to St. Paul. The house was built in 1889, and has a character and charm that spoke to us. It is in a child friendly neighborhood, with a huge park just across the street. Mississippi Market, our local Coop with local and organic produce, is just a two minutes walk away.

We are a family of five, currently living in Manhattan, New York. Olga is born in Ukraine and Svein is from Norway. Our three children Sebastian, Sophie and Ingrid keep us pretty busy.

Christmas Holiday Vacation Home

My family of 4 was very comfortable. The house felt like home immediately. I especially appreciated the numerous plates, silverware, glasses provided. It was great for dinner time entertaining. The couches and beds were very comfortable. The fireplace helped make the home cozy. We liked the Christmas lights and poinsettia plant too. The property was clean. There were some signs of wear on the kitchen counter and carpet on the stairs, which just added to the charm. The market and restaurants are within walking distance. The owner responded quickly to communications. I highly recommend this rental.

We recently stayed at the Berg House while attending on an extended business trip in St. Paul. The house is a lovely retreat to return to after a busy day. It's situated in a nice neighborhood and within walking distance to great local shops and restaurants. Plus there's a wonderful co-op grocery store just around the corner! And the owners are VERY responsive. I highly recommend the Berg House.

My family stayed at the Berg house this past week to attend our daughter's wedding. The location was great, the house was nicely appointed and quite comfortable. We enjoyed shopping at the nearby market and were close to other great shopping areas. I would highly recommend renting this home to anyone visiting the Twin Cities. The owner was very accommodating and responsive to our questions.

What a perfect spot! Svein and Olga, you have created a sublime place to "get away from it all" right in the heart of the great city of St. Paul. Your communication with us throughout was thorough and welcoming, which put our minds at ease for renting our first VRBO. From the Berg House, we had access to everything we needed. Within a 10 to 15 minute walk, we were able visit all the nearby shops and restaurants on Selby and Grand. The market we frequented was less than a five minute walk! Our nightly strolls took us all over historic Summit Avenue and down to the famous Cathedral. We were able to get lots of work done as well, thanks to the aid of an office and high-speed internet. The home was perfectly outfitted for our needs with lots of cozy towels, a comfy king-sized bed, and a kitchen with all the basic tools. We had such a nice time, we only wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks for providing such a welcoming place--a home away from home.

Our party was made up of six women in their sixties who had gone to college together. The Berg House has a great kitchen, very modern appliances, lots of counter space, huge bathroom upstairs, and is in a nice quiet neighborhood. The property was very clean and well-maintained. We purchased several of our meals at the Mississippi Market and were very pleased with the food. The general neighborhood is fabulous - lots of wonderful restaurants, shopping, and historic homes. The weather was exceptionally hot and humid, but the air conditioners in the house worked very well. The University of Minnesota Showboat is not far away and seeing a play there is a great summer activity. We contacted the owner to ask one slight favor and he was very accommodating. We couldn't have been more pleased.

The Berg house is a nice property in a residential section of Saint Paul. The interior is well furnished, with hardwood floors, high ceilings, and plenty of natural light. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is a small backyard patio for relaxing outdoors. The bedrooms are of average size, but very comfortable. The location is excellent: residential, and so generally quiet, yet only a few minutes walk to a variety of restaurants, bars, grocery stores, etc. It means you can leave the car at home if you are looking for an evening out. I'd recommend this rental for a family or group of friends looking for something a little different than a downtown Minneapolis hotel, yet who still want to retain some of the amenities of city life.

We had a wonderful experience staying at the Berg house. The house is beautiful (just as it looks in the pictures) and has spacious first and second floors. Towels and linens were plentiful and clean. The kitchen was well-equipped. Cable television (with many channels!) worked as instructed, as did wireless Internet. The house is extremely close to an organic market, located on Selby Ave, which also has many nice restaurants and shops. The house is also close to Grand Ave, which also has many nice stores. I especially recommend the house to anyone with small children. There are two low-to-the-ground twin beds, a crib (with bumper and sheets) for the baby, a high chair, and even some toys (wooden blocks, alphabet blocks, a toy kitchen) which kept my children entertained for hours. There is also a marvelous playground, with swings and slides and jungle gyms, just across the street. Svein (the owner) could not have been nicer or more helpful in answering my many questions. He always responded to my emails immediately and was extremely accommodating: letting us check in a little early and leave a little late, making sure the high chair had been brought up from the basement before our arrival, etc. He even emailed me the evening of our arrival to check that we had checked in with no problems and to inquire as to whether we had any questions or concerns. We were very happy with our experience and certainly hope to stay at the Berg house again when we are next in St. Paul.
