Charming two bedroom on the corner, newly renovated with a sweet porch.
After sitting abandoned for YEARS, I'm happy to say that I brought this tired little two bedroom house back to life. It's all new throughout and a nice, comfortable place to stay in Albert Lea!
On a corner lot with an enormous tree in the front yard, this quaint, comfortable house is in a convenient location within walking distance to a park, playground, bars, coffee shops, restaurants, and more. You don't even need to drive anywhere if you don't want to.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bathrobes. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Family time
This VRBO worked great for us. In town to visit family but we like our own space at the end of the day. Perfect size and very clean and comfortable. We’ll be back!

Short Stay
This house was perfect for our weekend stay in Albert Lea. We booked this house with anticipation of 4 people, ended up with an extra person. The second mattress in one of the bedrooms was perfect! We used it in the living room and it was cozy!

Nice little getaway
We enjoyed our stay here. We mostly stayed inside, but went for one walk around the neighborhood, as well as to the nearby state park.
The neighborhood was quiet in terms of people and traffic. It's near a little industrial area, but we were there on a weekend, so it was not very active (not sure about weekdays). There are train tracks just a few blocks away. The trains blow their horns, including at night. We enjoyed it (I live not far from tracks myself). But they were loud enough to wake us up one night. They were definitely not constant, though. We were aware of maybe 5 or 6 trains a day, and I only heard it one night while we slept (out of 2). So, no issues from us here, but if you struggle with this type of noise, be aware.
The place was pretty well stocked for cooking, had coffee, etc. The bed and living room were comfortable. The larger bedroom has good blackout curtains, which were necessary for some very bright lights just outside. The second bedroom did not, and looked like daytime at night. But we did not use that room.
The bathroom was nice, and the kitchen spacious.
There was a nice porch, which seemed great for warmer weather, but we did not use it.
We enjoyed the art in the place, which was a little quirky and all over the place,thematically. Something for everyone.
The checkout instructions were simple - pile the towels, run the dishwasher. Nothing excessive that made me wonder what the cleaning fee is for, which is one of my big annoyances.
