This place was perfect for our group with private space for four couples, and ample gathering space for all during our stay. Location easily accessible to downtown MPLS. Host was very responsive and proactively communicated specifics regarding our stay. Would recommend, and am saving this listing for future stays in MPLS.

Good value for large groups

We had a great stay at the Brownstone. The property was a good value for our large party of 10. Plenty of room, towels, bathrooms and all of the necessary and expected accommodations were provided. A few things to note. Some of the electrical work is lacking and potentially dangerous (one of our guests is an electrician). The house was not particularly clean. Lots of cobwebs, and the floors are very dirty (evidenced by the bottoms of our socks after the stay). Like another guest mentioned, I was also concerned that the bedding is not being washed after each stay. Pressure in the shower of the master bath was very bad, luckily the water is quite soft, so that helped. We would also have loved to read a history of the house. It is quite charming, and with additional restoration, would be an absolute gem. Those things aside, our party was overall pleased with the house. Thank you, Greg.

Lovely spacious old house in Minneapolis

This house was perfect for our 10 adults, for a couples and two adult grandsons. The spacious kitchen was well equipped for our needs, and we were delighted to be able to seat 14 people around the dining table. The boys enjoyed foosball, and all of us enjoyed singing carols around the piano! The house was well located and we enjoyed a long walk along the Mississippi and good food in the area.

Marvelous Minneapolis Mansion

This property is amazing. The layout is a little wonky because the house has been divided into two units, but it retains all the original character. My siblings and I stayed here for a family reunion and all five of us had our own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen and great room were perfect for just hanging out. Greg is a great host, very accommodating and communicative.

A number of us from the MCAD class of 1980 all came together for a week at this beautiful home. It exceeded our expectations; it was beautiful and spacious with lots of room to relax, recall, and share waffle breakfasts. The bedrooms were huge and each had a bathroom. Centrally located to MCAD, the Minneapolis Art Institute, the Walker, and downtown. Beautiful quiet neighborhood. Historic home that was perfect for our visit together.

Even Better Than My 2 Years Of Waiting!

I found this mansion two years ago and wanted to stay here with my Study Group for our annual deep dive business meeting. Then Covid delayed the dream for 2 long years. The house is a perfect example of the wood casings, wainscoting, hand carved staircase and ceiling luscious deep square molding. The many marble fireplaces mantles and surrounds are a delight. The host has added fun art and makes the best of the space that isn’t fully renovated but still delightful. One could sink a million dollars into a mansion like this and still not achieve the same outcome as the original glory. The children’s games and foosball table has me thinking about bringing my 8 grandchildren for a week of Minneapolis exploration some summer. This mansion is worth a designated trip just to experience the joy of magnificent handcrafted woodworking and marble. I felt like my elegant Granny would come walking in any minute and give her hearty approval of my choice of this place. Greg is a fantastic host and responded kindly and helpfully with local guidance for provisions. You cannot go wrong with this pick, such a grand lady!

Grand Old Mansion

This grand (and somewhat quirky) old mansion was a fun central hub for our out-of-town family Christmas. Gregory even provided a huge, glorious Cedar Christmas tree! Much appreciated!! We arrived during a winter storm warning and brutal cold. The driveway, sidewalk and stairs were already shoveled for us. Check-in was seamless. Beds were comfy, linens soft, bathrooms and kitchen were well stocked. (We cooked & baked a lot!) We were disappointed when told we should not use the fireplace in the great room. (A reason for renting this house in December!) And when we inquired about using the kitchen fireplace, we got no response. Even though this marvelous old house has many fireplaces, sadly, none were used. Somewhat minor, a second trash container on the driveway would be advised. This is a large house that accommodates a lot of people! With the trash bin half full when we arrived, it didn’t take long for it to overflow. Check-out “requirements” were practically none. Would love to be able to rent in warm weather and use the outdoor amenities. We would rent this VRBO again.

Beautiful house to enjoy with a group

We were a group of 10 in town for a wedding. House was fabulous for folks to gather. Kitchen was well-equipped. Several in the group are woodworkers so the house has extra special charm for them. Walkable to many places. Gregory was quickly responsive when we had several questions. Watch the video to plan out sleeping/bathroom arrangements.
