Great family place
This house was wonderful for our family of four. Plenty of parking, and the layout of the house was very functional. The house was very clean and plenty of space to unpack (which isn’t always the case)! Very quiet, walkable neighborhood. The location is within walking distance of the river which makes for great outings. We would definitely return.

Great place in great location
We traveled to St Paul for a college football game at Minnesota. Place was nicely located in a nice neighborhood only a couple of blocks from a pathway along the Mississippi. Paved trail has wonderful views. Beds were comfortable and the house was well-equipped. We comfortably had six of us there to enjoy a carry out dinner and hanging out after. Ample and easy parking. Would not hesitate to stay again.

Quaint retro home super close to a beautiful walking trial, park and nice neighborhood.
This little retro home was perfect for our needs. It was close to a beautiful park where we walked our dog, close to several universities and so easy to get to. It was ideal for us as we were there to move our child into college! Just wait we needed. The owners were amazing communicators and we felt well taken care of.

Convenient Location
This was a really nice property in a quiet neighborhood. It is close to Mall of America and the stadiums downtown Minneapolis. It was easy to get around with lots to do in the area. It is really close to the airport as well. It was truly a home away from home. I definately would stay again. All the comforts of home.
