Place was clean, had lots of sleeping space and private bedrooms, and exactly what our inter generational, multi-family group needed for visiting others in town. The arcade game was a huge hit with our kids. Communication was great and check-in very easy! Some aspects of an old home that didn’t work great for us—some indoor doors didn’t close all the way or easily, a running toilet, some bathtub fixtures need repair, and heating was inconsistent in various bedrooms.

Spacious Property and Great Location

This property was perfect for my group. The individual rooms felt very private when we needed space to ourselves and everything was very clean. Uptown (the neighborhood) had everything - grocery stores, bars, restaurants, shops - just outside the front door. And the option walk down Lake St. to the lakes was awesome.

Overall good. The parking pad needs some attention: it is raised off the ground and it scrapes the bottom of your car as you drive on or off of it. The house had all the room we needed. Some new kitchen pots and pans would hep. But overall it was a good experience.

Comfortable home, good location

My family of four stayed here Christmas week. The water the first morning was ice cold So I texted the host. She replied immediately and had her handyman stop by within the hour. We had hot water in record time. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, and we were quite happy with our stay.

Stunning and well appointed home, 10/10!!

I would recommend this home to anyone! In the heart of uptown, close to the lakes, gorgeous decor and furniture. Well appointed Kitchen both downstairs and upstairs-the second kitchen and second shower were a huge bonus for our big group. We were in town for a wedding and had plenty of space. 10/10 would stay again! Wonderful thank you!!

Cute house with great amenities

Inside of the house was great and very clean. Lots of handy kitchen amenities and linens. While the house is a few blocks away from a really cool neighborhood, this block and the couple on either side I would describe as “up and coming”. Not terrible, but not super walkable or enjoyable to be outside. Parking is pretty tight but that’s the reality of the location. Really appreciate the toddler and baby amenities like highchair, bin of toys, and day beds in room.

Great location! Such a cute character house!

This house was great for our family! We had 13, 11 adults and 2 kids. It was tight but we fit. There were a couple blow up mattresses that we managed to put a couple places. Very interesting and well maintained house. No issues with parking! So close to so many things! Great experience.

Great place near great restaurants and bars

Myself and 3 friends stayed here for a few nights while visiting Minneapolis for a Vikings game. The location was a short ride to downtown for the game but we were just a short walk to several amazing restaurants and bars to keep us entertained. The house had two showers which was great for 4 adults and plenty of sleeping space. The kitchen had all that could be needed. The host was quick to respond to any questions. Thanks for letting us stay during our visit!

About the host

Hosted by Andy

Host profile image
I am from Green Bay Wisconsin and went to University of Minnesota Twin Cities-and loved the area so much I never left! An avid runner and hiker, I love all things outdoors! Writing and advertising were my previous career ventures before becoming a vacation rental host full time. I also love any excuse to travel :)

Why they chose this property

Great for big groups, business trips, and adventurers! The location and interior design are my favorite parts of my home! The immediate neighbors are quiet and friendly, and the neighborhood is vibrant and lively!
Its close to so many great restaurants and activities, as well as public transportation, that it really is the perfect place to get a taste of all that Minneapolis has to offer!

The tin ceiling, light fixtures, and kitchen remodel are my favorite spaces in the house. I added some unique decor and personal touches that make the hope extra cozy :)

What makes this property unique

There are 3 steps that lead to the front door. The master bedroom and a half bathroom are on the first floor. The other 3 bedrooms (one of them being the suite) are on the second floor.

There is a full bathroom upstairs, and the suite has a kitchenette as well as a big shower/tub.

Due to the showers being upstairs, I would not consider the home wheel-chair accessible
