About this property

The Kruse Cottage

This charming 1920’s bungalow/cottage has been in our family for over a century and we love spending time here when we are in town. With high ceilings, original woodwork, hardwood floors, and amazing front porch it is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway.
It is minutes from the Mississippi waterfront, bike path, Lumberkings Stadium, local grocery, and several bars and restaurants.

This VRBO was absolutely perfect, incredibly homey and comfortable from the moment we walked in. We especially appreciated the YouTube TV access, which let us catch the Husky game with no hassle. The location was ideal, tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood but still close to everything we needed. The beds were super comfy, and the full kitchen made it easy to feel right at home. We had a great stay and will definitely be coming back!

Great Clinton Home

The Kruse House did not disappoint-the vrbo description was clear and accurate. Perfect for 2 couples or small family. It was a great place to stay while we visited family in the Clinton area for our brother’s 80th birthday. We would definitely recommend the Kruse House and hope to return in the future

Not long enough

The decor and attention to detail made me feel at home. I found a smile on my face being in this cottage. I thought I booked it for 2 nights so unfortunately I did not get to enjoy my stay as planned.

Home away from home

This place is quickly becoming out home away from home - perfect for when we’re in Clinton visiting family. Celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday and had plenty of room to host the family and cook dinner for all. A lovely and comfortable place!
