Great house and neighborhood
My husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at this house. It is zero entry which is important at our age. Good beds, AC and tv. The neighborhood is SUPER quiet and it's a block from the river so easy walking and/or biking.

Satisfactory
The master bedroom had ample room with closet, dresser and king bed. Other two bedrooms lacked space for luggage. Bathroom was extremely small. Because of reviews, we expected to be closer to walking paths in parks and along the river. The yard and landscape needs work compared to the neighborhood. The back yard was not inviting. The inside design and coloring was nice. The owners were extremely helpful and always friendly and available. The supplies and equipment were adequate.

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.

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.

Excellent home away from home
This is a beautiful ranch style home, retro and fun, bright, clean, with everything you need, and in a beautiful location. If you’re coming to Minneapolis as tourists, it’s very close to so many fun things to do and see: Mall of America, Como Park, downtown, Great Wolf Lodge water park, etc. Just minutes from the airport. Hosts are wonderful and quick to answer any questions. If we return to Minneapolis, we will definitely rent this house again!
