About this property

Luxury Historic Home Next to US Bank Stadium. Private Courtyard + Rooftop.

Step out of the heart of the city and into the unforgettable gated courtyard where a Blacksmith Shop from 1890 blends industrial features, modern tech and Hygge design.

HYGGE: Scandinavian art of creating the perfect conditions that lead to cozy and memorable moments.

Gather around the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace to connect, relax and experience the lodge-like feeling in the middle of downtown.

Have a coffee on the roof deck and dining area as the sun rises over the Minneapolis skyline or a cocktail as the sun sets behind the Viking ship of neighboring US Bank Stadium.

The forge studio has a 96-inch TV for watching films or sports, and three of the four bedrooms have their own TVs all signed into HBO, Netflix, Apple TV, Peacock and Paramount+. All you have to do it watch.

The chef’s built gourmet kitchen has Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator, prep station, wine fridge and high-end cookware to make and serve gourmet meals.

Blacksmith House uses noise and occupancy monitoring software to enforce a maximum limit of 12 guests at all times. (Up to 10 registered guests and 2 temporary visitors).

For any event over 12 people, please reach out for approval + event fee.

We look forward to ensuring your stay is unforgettable.

Excellent!

Visited with a group of family members going to a Viking game. Our choice to stay at this house could have been more spot on! It made our trip! House is extremely unique. An experience in and of itself. We will return!

One-of-a-kind location, first-rate host

This stunning property was the perfect place for our family to gather in Minneapolis for an extended college graduation weekend. We were thrilled to find such a spacious home so close to everything we needed in the city, with off-street parking, enough bedrooms for family coming in from three states, and—especially—a kitchen and dining area so we could spend time together in a relaxed setting. But the photos didn't prepare us for how the combination of this historic structure's wonderful old bones, the more recent additions of stunning metalwork and architectural features, and the current, superbly curated amenities and decor all come together to make a space that's just so easy to be in. There's plenty of common space—including a kitchen large enough for multiple people to help with food prep at once—as well as numerous bedrooms and quiet corners to retreat to when you want to read or rest alone. The gated courtyard with trees, two stairways to the rooftop deck, a book collection to swoon over, a working fireplace for chilly days, all made it an unforgettable place to catch up with family members we had missed!Nate was a great help in our planning. His communication was always very prompt, responsive, and kind. The house guide he shared for check-in was clear and understandable—a real gift for tired travelers.The whole family (19–82 years old) hasn't stopped talking about how much they loved being here together. We can't wait to go back!

Unique one of a kind Historic Property!

Unique one of the kind property which provided a very memorable stay for us! Custom inside and out with many arches, elaborate staircases, a massive fireplace and stained glass and hand crafted iron work throughout this renovated gated home in downtown Minneapolis! The Kitchen and Bathrooms (love the Bath towels!) were well furnished with modern convenances and the beds were very comfortable. Less than a 10 minute walk to coffee shops, restaurant's and US Bank Stadium! Note: For those with grandparents the steps up to the roof top deck are very steep

Wonderful downtown Minneapolis home

We had a family reunion here and went to a Vikings game. This is a perfect home for a stay in downtown Minneapolis. 5 minute walk to US Bank stadium, 2 minutes to Gold Medal park and restaurants on Washington Ave. The home is so unique with artistic touches everywhere you look. The ironwork is amazing. There is a living room with large fireplace for gathering, a large dining table next to the gourmet kitchen which has bar seating. The kitchen has everything you could want and all high end. The rooftop patio is great for grilling and informal dining as well as sitting around the wood burning fire pit. And on game day…what a show! We really enjoyed the light modern studio with game table and large screen TV. All bedrooms are nicely appointed and have access to or en suite bathrooms. Nate is a great host and immediately responds to questions. Access and checkout were a breeze. Can’t recommend highly enough if you want to be downtown and walk/Uber to everything Minneapolis has to offer
