The perfect home away from home for accessibility to downtown and absolute comfort! Beautiful gardens, front porch and front entrance. The upstairs rooms are decorated with great taste and comfort in mind. Gorgeous works of art from the owners are seen in every room! Both the spacious parlor and second bedroom are equip for enjoyment and convenience. The wine and chocolate treat was divine. Jon was super helpful and made me and my three teens feel right at home. Highly recommend. Thank you!

This is probably the most beautiful and well-maintained VRBO that we've ever stayed at. The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable with lots of light and interesting furniture, The beds are comfortable and the towels were very soft. The front porch was great for sitting and watching the world go by. The set-up is great for two couples since the 2 living spaces can be separated when you want. Jeff was a great host - very responsive. Definitely would stay there again.

This was a great place for our group of three. While off a busier road, the home is set back from the street, has a peaceful front porch and is a quiet stay. The home is beautiful and unique and the hosts do an excellent job in their attention to detail. The home was clean and comfortable and is well located to get around Minneapolis. There is also plenty of street parking. Overall, this was a great find!

We absolutely loved this property. It was a great space for our adult daughter and us to stay while attending her sister’s graduation. So much attention to detail and very clean. A space for us, a somewhat separate space and bathroom for our daughter, and a beautiful sitting room for us to sit together. Just lovely. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Jeff!

This stay was wonderful! I can't say anything negative about it. We knew exactly what we were getting, the owner was friendly and informative, the house is beautiful, and we felt safe. It was great having the owner on site in case anything needed attention. The beds were very comfortable. If I visit the area again, I'm checking the availability of this property first.

What a great house! Perfectly located between the airport and city, and very close to the mall! This place was immaculate and very cozy, and we absolutely loved staying there. Jeff was fantastic to work with and made sure that we had everything that we needed. Thanks Jeff! We will stay here again!

This is an absolutely beautiful remodeled Victorian home in a historic neighborhood with all the comforts of home including a lush four-poster bed, two TVs (although I hardly watched them), a large bathroom with a walk-in shower and clawfoot tub, complimentary wine and chocolate, and other thoughtful details. The owners are absolutely wonderful, friendly and helpful when you need them but give you privacy to enjoy your stay in peace. The immediate neighborhood is a bit slim on amenities but there's plenty of shopping and restaurants not more than a 5-10 minute drive to nearby neighborhoods and downtown. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and romantic stay.

When we arrived at the VRBO we were greeted by the host, Jeff, who was wonderful. And the house was absolutely lovely. I asked about things to do, places to visit and suggestions for dinner. He had mentioned that you had to be careful in this neighborhood and vicinity and gave us a few suggestions for dinner. We went to dinner about 1.5 miles from the VRBO and struck up a conversation with 2 ladies at the table beside us. When we told them the neighborhood we were staying in they just kinda looked at us and said it was not a safe neighborhood. When we returned to the VRBO and went up to our room my wife looked out the window and noticed that the lights on our vehicle were flashing so I went down to check on the car. Within 5 minutes of returning from dinner someone busted out the back window, attempting to steal the car. The police said they probably thought it was a different make/model car, one that can be stolen very easily. Needless to say we did not stay there for the remainder of our vacation.
