We enjoyed our stay at this historic home. The neighborhood and walk to the river was such an enjoyable addition to our stay. Would stay here again.

Good for families

House was perfect to accommodate our relatively large and young family. A/C, kitchen, laundry, and bath all worked great. Location was convenient to major highways, but also walkable to shops and restaurants in downtown Anoka. Relatively quiet neighborhood….a few colorful characters (mostly around the nearby river walk), but never felt unsafe. Would definitely stay again.

Family visit

We were in town to visit family living in near by towns. For us it was a great location to get to near by family and walk to downtown for shopping and restaurants. House has large bedrooms upstairs and all the things you need to stay & relax. Bathrooms are old home MN with no luxury spa feeling but clean and in good working condition. It's a beautiful historic home.

Great stay!

Everything was clean and comfortable. The old house had a lot of character and was spacious! The bathroom with the shower was a bit small but doable. House is close to a busy street and is a bit noisy at night. Kitchen was clean and well stocked. Was a bit too far from my relatives so probably won’t stay again, but very lovely home.

Lovely home with classic character

We found this home to be spacious and clean. It is comfortably furnished (including the beds), and the kitchen is well stocked. Beware that the single shower is small. The homeowners requested that no shoes be worn in the house, which I found to be uncomfortable. It's an all-around good find.

Decent price for an old house

The house is old as describe in the listing. The kitchen is probably the only area that is pretty modern. One thing I will like to note is that the shower bathroom does not have a lock. Someone else could open the door without realizing someone is using it. Would have been nice to have this in the description. Overall it was decent for the price you’re paying for.

Thank you for much for the review. I had no idea the bathroom door didn't lock. I will be switching out the handle ASAP so it will lock. Thank you, Jenni
