Yes! First of all the home is amazing. It is a fabulous Victorian era house with a modern kitchen and is really well furnished and decorated. Second, the hostess answered every query of ours quickly and thoroughly. Third, the location was fabulous for hosting our large family for all our activities in the Twin Cities. Parking was a breeze despite the snowy weather.

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.

Family getaway

My family stayed at Jill and Aaron’s beautiful house for a weekend of extended family celebrations. The house is beautiful - a treasure from the past. Everything was clean and well stocked. Jill checked in with us to make sure we didn’t need anything, and went above and beyond to accommodate, even bringing us a roll of tape so we could wrap a gift! There were snacks out for us, a nice bottle of wine, Kuerig pods, coffee creamers, etc. I’ve never rented a place so accommodating! Each bedroom had extra linens, bathrooms had extra towels, etc. The garage is nice and spacious to park 2 cars. Quiet neighborhood. Close to downtown St. Paul, and many restaurants and shops. This is a true gem and we hope to come back soon! Thank you Jill and Aaron!

Exceptional Family Reunion

House of heART 2 was the perfect setting as the center for our long overdue family reunion. While only 8 family members stayed at the home, we were joined during the days and evenings by 9 other family folks who lived nearby or stayed at hotels. (…and one night a young niece and nephew joined us with a sleepover !). We came from Kansas City, KS, Naperville, Aurora, Addison and Kankakee, IL, Rochester and St Paul MN. The home was well appointed and even nicer than the online photos suggested! Furniture is well appointed and clean, beds, linens and towels top notch, kitchen had TONS of anything you’d ever need. The basement “apartment” was perfect for separating different families and the children’s play nook and game cabinet was perfect!! Though it rained most of our long weekend, the spacious/clean front porch was a perfect place for us to gather and mingle about. We enthusiastically recommend House of heART 2!!

😍

Jill’s home is perfect! We had a completely uneventful stay (in the best way), and everything was above our expectations and what was advertised. There is plenty of living space meaning lots of room for people to be spread out through the house. The only thing I would consider is that all of the bedrooms except the basement bedroom are on the top floor sharing one bathroom so those everybody has to be okay with that. However, that was exactly as advertised so no fault to Jill for that, just something to keep in mind when booking for your group if they’d be comfortable with that. The house was SO well stocked. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t there. Jill provides so many toiletries and snacks. This is an amazing house and we are looking to book again already.

Brimming with Joy: Our Experience at Heart House

My family had the pleasure of staying at the enchanting Saint Paul Heart House for my wedding, and I can hardly find the words to describe its stunning beauty. Walking through its charming rooms adorned with community art available for purchase, my heart overflowed with joy. The house's exquisite woodwork and overall charm took my breath away, and the neighborhood exuded a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. What made our stay truly exceptional, though, was the extraordinary hospitality of our host, Jill. She generously offered to accommodate us by allowing us to use the fridge early to store wedding food before the big day, sparing us the added stress. Throughout our stay, Jill maintained open and consistent communication, even kindly granting us the luxury of a leisurely departure the day after the wedding, understanding how fatigued we would be. She left us a heartwarming note and a thoughtful little gift, making our experience truly unforgettable. The Saint Paul Heart House is not just the finest VRBO I've ever encountered; it was so delightful that my husband and I secretly wished we could have stayed there with our family. The added convenience of garage parking, which is not always available, was another pleasant surprise. We've even contemplated returning for a staycation, just to relish the experience all over again.
