Here's what a few guests have said:

"Mary’s place is beautifully updated, impeccably clean and ready for your group, especially if you have kiddos. She thoughtfully provides step stools in the bathrooms and even bath toys. It was a great space for our family to gather. Mary always responded promptly and we felt well cared for. Would stay there again and would highly recommend to others." -Curt

"This home was so beautiful and the host went above and beyond to make sure all the amenities were provided! Cleanliness was at a 10/10. Beds were so comfy! Never been to a home that was so clean, cozy and with so much character! :)" -Sheryl

☆☆ BEDROOMS ☆☆

First Floor (3 Bedrooms)

In the first floor Primary, sink into a Queen bed dressed in crisp white linens. Pull the blackout curtains tight and let the sound machine drown out the world, while the nearby Pack ’n Play ensures your littlest traveler is safe and close at hand.

Just steps away, the Bunk Room offers a cozy Twin-over-Twin retreat where younger children can drift off in a space that feels both adventurous and secure.

For those seeking a quieter corner, The Library transforms into a private nook with its Twin pull-out sofa—an ideal "secret spot" for an older child to curl up with a book before sleep. From the heavy drapes to the plush bedding, every detail is designed for a morning where you wake up feeling truly restored.

Second Floor (3 Bedrooms)

In the 2nd Floor Primary, a sprawling King bed offers a premium escape for parents, complete with a full-size folding crib so you can keep the baby nearby without sacrificing your own space or sleep quality.

Across the hall, the Queen Bedroom provides a serene, comfortable retreat for additional adults or couples.

The true heart of the second floor is the Bunk Room, the "Ultimate Kids Zone." Featuring two sets of Twin-over-Twin bunks, it’s a high-energy space where cousins and siblings can create lasting memories. Whether it's a quiet night in the King suite or a late-night whisper session in the bunk room, the second floor perfectly accommodates the whole family under one roof.

Total Beds Available: 1 King, 2 Queen, 1 Twin Pull-Out, 3 Twin-over-Twin Bunks (6 Twins), 1 full size folding crib, and 1 pack n play.

Each bedroom features blackout curtains and sound machines for ultimate restoration and relaxation.

☆☆ BATHROOMS ☆☆

You will find everything you need and more in the two full bathrooms, both with tub/shower combos, white linens, Public Goods shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, an infant tub, bath toys, and a step stool for the littlest travelers in your group.

☆☆ KITCHEN & LIVING SPACE ☆☆

The bright and airy kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances, utensils and cookware you need to feel at home. The coffee bar is ready to greet you first thing in the morning, complete with a Nespresso machine and a Ninja drip coffee maker. The dining area seats 8+ with additional seating in the eat-in kitchen. There is a laundry room on the second floor, making late night laundry an easy task.

Gather in the comfortable living room, anchored by a beautiful, functional electric stove (fireplace) that provides warmth and ambiance on chilly Minnesota evenings. Puzzles, games, coloring, and a 60 inch TV with a Roku entertainment system will keep the entire family happy, while you play some tunes on the record player.

☆☆ OUTSIDE SPACE ☆☆

Our private backyard is a year-round sanctuary designed for the ultimate Minnesota experience. At the heart of the space is a premium cedar barrel sauna, where you can enjoy a steaming session with a stunning view of the downtown Saint Paul skyline. It is especially magical in the winter - there’s nothing quite like the invigorating feeling of a sauna session in the fresh snow.

Just steps away, you'll find a custom fire pit perfect for evening s'mores, cozy conversation, and warming up under the city lights after your sauna session. Whether you're watching the snowfall from the heat of the sauna or gathering around the flames, it's the perfect spot to unwind and take in the city.

So perfect! We brought our extended family together and this home served exactly what we hoped for. We loved the big living room where we could all have quality time together, the many bedroom options, and the incredible accommodations for small children - baby gates, crib, stools, high chairs, kid dishes and cups. The neighborhood was very peaceful, totally quiet and calm. We loved heading 2 min drive down the hill to the playground at Harriet Island and coffee at Backstory. And the sauna was so fun to have for adults after bedtime. Host was warm and communicative. No need went unmet. Highly recommend for travelers with children!

Host profile image
I am a Nurse Educator, triathlete, and mom of three little ones. I love to travel, especially for hiking or races (or both!). We love our New York City life, but we also love to take the kids on new adventures. We'll go anywhere our little kid scooters will take us!

Why they chose this property

This tucked away neighborhood is quiet and still close to all the action downtown has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The view! The sunrises and sunsets are particularly striking.
