I wish I could give a higher rating! Jill and Erin were absolutely phenomenal hosts. The property itself is one you should take time to enjoy. There is beautiful artwork in every room and any need you could possibly have has been met before your arrival. I cannot wait to go back and stay longer. Do not miss staying here if you need to go to Minneapolis/St Paul!

Happy House

We all enjoyed our stay at your house. It was so different and interesting. The art, the house itself, the special children's area was all well planned. The space is truly large and comfortable, which helped as it was in the upper 90's most of the weekend. We couldn't decide on the best animal picture as the kids were so excited to find art everywhere! Lots of oohs and aahs, even about the 4-footed bathtub.

Perfect venue and location for a weekend wedding

We booked this for 10 of us for a wedding weekend. Everything was perfect where everyone had a comfortable bed and we loved the common gathering areas of the kitchen and family room where we enjoyed each other's company over coffee in the morning and wine at night. Jill was a great host. Very communicative and we could tell she put a lot of thought into the design and personal touches throughout the house. She even let us stay later than our check out to accommodate our later flights. And as a bonus is the artwork throughout the house. Location is awesome with several restaurants and shops within walking or short Uber distance. Highly recommend if you're looking for a venue for multiple folks.

Family gathering

Our four sons and their family's came in from all over the world to attend my mother-in-law’s funeral. This house provided a wonderful and unique space that accommodated all of us. A big hit was the poker table in the basement that was used more then once. This is the most fully equipped short term rental i have ever booked. From snacks, to toothpaste, there was really nothing not provided for a welcoming and comfortable stay. Its location is as good as is possible if St Paul is your destination, with Grand Ave 2 blocks away. This will be the first place i try to book if we need a large home in the area again.

Outstanding!!

Jill was an amazing host! Fast responses always. She kept up with us with all our needs an even more. Especially with our large group, they accommodated to all our needs. Maybe it was us, but the bathrooms do not lock, BUT I assume is was because of the character of the knovsllbs; i wouldnt want to give them up either. The home was very well set up and clean. Most of the kids and boys were able to be as loud as they are and have fun in the basment while the adults could sleep in early. Highly recommend this place and Jill! We had a wonderful experience. Would definitely come back.

Best VRBO Experience ever!

12 of us friends meet every year some where in States. This time we picked St Paul due to other activities planned in BWCA Lake Superior. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at the property. The house is very WELL kept, clean, and very well decorated with the Artwork. Jill was responsive from the time we inquired, booked, and sure enough extremely attentive to the details during our stay. There were couple of things we needed and Jill was sure to get those furnished, like within 30 min. I highly recommend the area, the property and the amenities provided with the house. Thanks Jill for being a gracious host. 🙏 Vick
