If you have a love of old homes this is it. Nestled in a very diverse neighborhood, next to a very quiet park, this home has everything I wanted and more. Starting with off street parking, which in these areas is not a gaurentee, then on to the beautifully tended garden, it captivates ypu with its beauty and charm. The unit is the 3rd floor that features 2 beautiful rooms and a large bathroom with a beautiful tub to soak in after a long day walking the local attractions. It has its own temperature controls with central air/heating. There is a quaint kitchen, perfect for quick meals or a little bite to eat. It is a on the 3rd floor so do expect stairs, and it is older so the stair case is a bit on the narrow side. This for me was a perfectly acceptable trade off for such a great property. I will glady stay here again.

Was very clean, fun and updated decor. Lots of stairs but worth it! Would recommend.

Amazing and clean cute apartment!! Inside the owner's house - private parking behind the house. Lots of goodies: water, coffee, popcorn, tea, hot cocoa, etc. Free streaming services, puzzles, games, etc. The only thing we disliked was confusion of wheree to enter.

We booked to visit the Minnesota State Fair. It was as advertised, meaning, up 3 flights, etc. Not an issue for us, but it could be for you. The unit was clean and well appointed. The bedrooms were separated and the living space was spacious and fun. Really a unique experience, in a historic home in an old neighborhood. If you have dreamed of taking a bubble bath in a claw foot tub this is your chance. The hosts were friendly and had helpful suggestions for things to see and do.

We would not have found a better place to stay than this magical home during our visit for the Renaissance Faire! It is cozy, quiet, beautiful, and felt like home away from home. I can't recommend it enough! Hosts were absolutely the sweetest!

The apartment in the top story was beautiful-- charming, and cozy. The patio has a beautiful garden with fountain that was wonderfully relaxing. Swede hollow park just across the street was like something out of a fairytale. And, while feeling fairly far-removed from the city, it was so close to many fun things we enjoyed, including Como Zoo and a concert at the Excel Center. I highly recommend a stay here and would love to return, myself.

We came to St. Paul to attend a lacrosse tournament and loved staying at this apartment! The place was beautiful, clean, well maintained, and close to many amenities. We are still in awe at the construction of the home with its beautiful ceiling lines and “nooks & crannies”. The entire home is beautiful and the neighborhood was quiet and quaint. The owners were great with communication and ease of check in/check out. We would recommend!

Stayed here when we went to St. Paul for Janet Jackson. The apartment is adorable and had all accommodations needed. The check-in process is standard VRBO in that directions are sent days beforehand. Had a difficult time finding the lockbox and there was a small mess-up with check-in, but Michele was quick to make things right and very accommodating. Would stay here again!
(Sidenote: the nearby coffeeshop did NOT open when their hours stated, but Michele has a remedy for this as well!)

The swede hollow property was perfect for our needs. We loved the look of the property and the ease of getting to it. The little reading nook in the bathroom were our favorite parts. Owners were super friendly and helpful.
10.0
The home was very quite and clean. The host was helpful and there when we needed her. The home itself was located on a quite dead end and was in walking distance of many restaurants. We came there for a show at the Fitzgerald and it was only a 8 minute drive. Overall it was an amazing stay.

Sweet 3rd floor apartment. Historically decorated.
Beautiful view, next to St Paul Brewery.
Perfect location when visiting St. Paul. 5-10 minutes away from downtown. Host was very accommodating.
Highly recommend staying here.

The unit was beautiful. The stairs were very steep and narrow to get to the unit at the top. Everything else was great.

We booked our stay for a Girls Weekend for St. Patrick’s Day. This is actually the second time one of us had stayed here. It is a unique set up and the location was perfect for us. They had all the kitchen items we needed and some small snacks/water extras to welcome us. It is an older house and I expected to hear more squeaks from other residents but I never really did outside of the hallway.

Love this property. The apartment is so clean and well stocked with everything you need. The beds are comfortable. Michle makes sure to add extra touches like good hand soap and lotion in the bathroom, and kitchen, bottles of water in the fridge, coffee pods, hot chocolate, and all the needed kitchen supplies. The layout is perfect. We love the nook for playing games. The claw foot tub is perfect for a good soak. You can tell the place is very well cared for. We really appreciate being able to stay. We will definitely be back for our third visit soon! -Liz and Sarah

The property truly was one of a kind, it was in great condition and extremely comfortable during our stay, one piece of feedback I have for the property is 3PM check-in is alittle late, we got off our flight at 11am and we had to wait awhile to unpacked and get situated, otherwise everything was great!

Very quaint, VERY clean.
A cozy, small, 3rd story apartment.
Wish they would’ve had cooking oil, and I burned my hand a bit on the old fashioned kettle, but that’s my fault. Let’s just say I’m not the brightest bulb in the bunch 😅.
Bath tub was very nice.
10.0
This stay was pretty relaxing. Fully functioning kitchen, with a clawfoot bathtub, two bedrooms with queen beds and a cozy living room with a hideaway reading nook. It was a great place to stay for a first visit to Minnesota.
Thanks!

This was one of my most pleasant VRBO stays. It was very clean, tastefully decorated, and very cozy. If you like history, this house and the area is full of St Paul’s past. The owners are very welcoming, and I highly recommend this place.

The historic house was a great place for my friend and I as we enjoyed a weekend trip including the UM Football game at the University of Minnesota.
The hosts were very attentive to our needs and gave good suggestions for restaurants, walks and St. Paul's Cathedral for Mass.
I would definitely recommend this place.
Be advised that you are on the third floor and need to be able to handle the stairs.
The Public Park across the street was a great place for early morning walks.
Overall, a very positive experience.

I am a local and wanted to take a little get away. This location was perfect! Near a park and the city. The property is very cute, and comfortable. The bathroom is great and the beds are very comfy as well as the couch. I was also obsessed with the little circle room.

We had a wonderful weekend in St. Paul staying in this lovely home! I could not recommend more. We were weary parents traveling for the first time with our infant and this oasis was the perfect calming environment she needed after a long day adventuring.
Everything from the garden to the bathroom was beautiful. The owners are wonderful people and if we find ourselves in Minnesota again we will definitely look to stay again!

Lovely little home located in East St. Paul. The attic of this historic home was converted into a 2 bed apartment. Just adjacent to the old Hamm's Brewery. 4th star given to location as it is a little difficult to maneuver a van in and out of the driveway/alleyway. But no harm, and everything worked great. Michel was a great host and hope to stay there again!

We went to St Paul for a concert at the Palace Theater. It was a quick 6 min drive, roughly 40 min walk. Place is bigger than it looks. Very clean and cozy. I recommend!
