Holiday Haus Zwei

This nearly 100 year old craftsman-style home sits on Broadway Street in the center of town, just a block from a bustling downtown which includes, restaurants, boutiques, coffee, ice cream, cocktail bars, parks and so much more.

Recently voted Best Place in Minnesota to Live and a Top 10 MN vacation destination, New Ulm is a quaint, charming yet vibrant gem in south central Minnesota. Home of the 2nd oldest family owned and operated brewery in the United States, Schell's. Its packed calendar of festivals make it a year-round destination.

2,800 square feet, you will love the charm of this old home including the beautiful hardwood floors, french doors and high ceilings. You will also enjoy the great outdoor space in the back yard made for entertaining or simply relaxing after a long day. The property has two off-street parking spots; a garage stall as well as a carport adjacent to the garage stall.

We are life-long residents, (or Bewohners if you sprechen sie Deutsch) of New Ulm and are close by to answer any question you may have quickly via phone, text, email or VRBO messenger.

New Ulm is well known for its Bavarian roots and it pervades almost everything. From day one, the city was designed as a free-thinking utopia filled with parks every few blocks.

New Ulm is famous for its German festivals such as Bavarian Blast (formally Heritagefest) in July, BockFest in March at the mansion grounds of August Schell of Schell's beer fame, and of course, TWO full weekends of Oktoberfest (Oktober) activities. New Ulm is the host of many baseball, hockey and basketball tournaments.

Our home is just a few blocks blocks from beautiful German Park with its fountain, gardens and brand new amphitheater. It is less than a block from historic Turner Hall Turnverein Club complete with bar and restaurant (Rathskeller).

Our home is located almost smack in the middle of town making walking downtown a breeze. There you can find everything from live music to German restaurants (Kaiserhoff), or our Glockenspiel, one of the few free-standing carillon clock towers in the world! You are also just a few blocks from Johnson Park if you want to take in a baseball or football game.

Nice Place

This property is very nice and the owner Char couldn't have been nicer. The house sits on a main street through town so vehicle noise is constantly present which is not the owner's fault-just something to be aware of if you are looking for quiet nights. Other than that, it's a very nice place to stay.

Close to Everything!

This charming house was a wonderful home base for our explorations of New Ulm. From the bottle of wine awaiting us on the kitchen table to the lovely patio seating, our girlfriend group had a relaxing time. By chance we met the gracious owner who shared favorite New Ulm gems with us. Don't miss Schell's Brewery and the Wanda Gag House. Both are very interesting.

Family Time

We brought 4 siblings and 3 spouses to this rental to visit with our family in New Ulm. The house is large with plenty of space and large bedrooms to accommodate all. Loved the outdoor seating to have family over to visit us. Excellent location to be able to walk to and enjoy downtown New Ulm and Turner hall. Owners are responsive and quick to answer any questions. Would definitely rent again.

Location, Location

We get a VRBO yearly for our group of 10-12 girls. The house was within walking distance to all the local shops. The kitchen was a bit small for food prep, but the dining room table was great for meals and cards. The living space was nice and open. One single bed on the main level great for those who have trouble with stairs, however no shower on the main. The house had everything we needed. Room enough to spend out, and comfy to snuggle in. The beds were very comfortable and all linens for bathing there already. She even had everything in the bathroom should you need or forget something. Just like a hotel would. The yard was great for outdoor games. It is on a busy street. The noise of the traffic never bothered us. Parking is tight, but easily fixed with being able to unload and just park on the street. We had trouble with the cable and Char came right over to help. She even had a little gift for us to share. We will be back in the future for sure!

Lovely home, comfy, very clean and super close to downtown area (bars, restaurants etc). In spite of the weather being boiling hot (we are from Arizona and the 90 degree temps would have been fine but what is with this HUMIDITY) we had a great time in New Ulm! Hosts were very responsive and friendly. Highly recommend!!

Functional Historic Home

I’ve driven past these historic homes on Broadway hundreds of times. It was fun to finally stay in one. There was plenty of space for the family to congregate and then spread out. It’s an easy stroll downtown or up the hill to the college. Definitely could see staying there again.
