Jeff was a wonderful host, as he opened the doors up of his 1900s house to us over the weekend. He was very friendly and made himself available whenever we might need. The unit was fully stocked, with very comfortable beds and luxurious towels. We enjoyed flipping through photos and seeing the resonating progress of the house. We would definitely visit again the next time we are in the area!
Our group had a wonderful time at this property. The rooms were clean and cozy and our host added lots of nice touches, such as coffee, chocolate and wine. Downtown was a short Uber ride away and our host was responsive to any questions or needs. The host’s residence is on the first floor, but there are no common areas. It was like staying at a private boutique hotel. Would stay again!
What an amazing stay. The home is beautiful and beautifully decorated. The location is ideal for getting around the city without being downtown. We would definitely stay here again.
We loved this beautiful home. Very comfortable spaces. It was a great place to stay for our group of 4 for a college visit weekend.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Lovely apartment, area potentially questionable
Unit itself was lovely and Jeff organized late self check in - thank you for that
Quiet despite being on fairly main road
. think area slightly less than good but could have done with steer in that from host - lots of homeless on streets nearby -but actual house and immediate neighbors seem nice
Two separate bedrooms but smaller had no bedside light and although that was within a lockable area there were several doors marked’ private’ within the area
and despite asking if anyone else was living there we had no response to texts snd my daughter was uncomfortable therefore
Also nowhere to wash dishes other than in bathroom sink and no equipment etc to do so - did text Jeff to request washing those as per instructions in the flat but didn’t happen so had to take back upstairs and rinse as best we could
Safe had low battery symbol so didn’t want to risk using and again no response to text about that
Upon arrival, Jeff met us at the front door with keys. Let us know about the house in overall was a great host our entire stay.. The two bedrooms upstairs were in great shape, very clean and all necessities were available
We spent the weekend at this amazing gem of a rental. The property owner, Jeff, was responsive and accommodating.
Home had a lot of charm, plenty of towels and was very clean. Everything you could possibly need was provided, coffee, tea. Cold water and even a few cold beers in the fridge. Jeff also left a bottle of wine and some chocolates, all complimentary. The beds were very comfortable. My family is tall but shorter guests could probably benefit from a mini step stool to get into the beds.
Neighborhood was quiet.
Definitely plan to rent from Jeff again while in the Minneapolis area. Thanks Jeff’
We stayed at this property once before, about 5 years ago. We gave it 5 stars then, as we did this trip. We stayed for a week. The rooms are wonderful. If you love sleek and modern, that is not this place. This place is beautifully Victorian. The place is spacious, clean and the Victorian house is very nice. We are two 70 year-olds who love to walk. The area is residential and you’ll b able d to walk or drive about a mile to nearest restaurants. We felt safe at all times. We really like this place.
Did a quick girls weekend away with a friend, the space was beautiful and the beds were so comfortable. Beautiful view of the garden out front, from the window in the living room. Looking forward to coming back again!
Comfortable, spacious, and lovely. This was a great find. Enjoyed the relaxing space so much we just stayed in when we had time in the city. Thanks to Jeff for a great place and stay.
A beautiful old home, refurbished with care and wonderfully appointed with nice touches. The beds were comfy, amenities were helpful, and it is located within a short drive to downtown Minneapolis. We loved it and would stay again in a heartbeat.
Beautiful Victorian home just minutes from downtown!
The perfect home away from home for accessibility to downtown and absolute comfort! Beautiful gardens, front porch and front entrance. The upstairs rooms are decorated with great taste and comfort in mind. Gorgeous works of art from the owners are seen in every room! Both the spacious parlor and second bedroom are equip for enjoyment and convenience. The wine and chocolate treat was divine. Jon was super helpful and made me and my three teens feel right at home. Highly recommend. Thank you!
My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Great location. Two nice restaurants in walking distance. An easy drive to the Minneapolis Art Institute. And the Chanhassen Dinner Theater was great! Thank you!
This was probably the most beautiful home I have stayed in through VRBO! Plus we were very close to everything in Minneapolis/Saint Paul that we wanted to do over the weekend! Jeff was a great host and very responsive!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Portland Place. The home was lovely, from the detailed woodworking to the furnishings. Jeff provided thoughtful details for our stay. Would definitely recommend!
