Mac-Grove Neighborhood. This is one of our favorite neighborhoods in St. Paul. Old Charm, beautiful houses, relatively quiet streets. Great parks in walking distance. A grocery store just a few houses down. A tap room a few houses down the other way. A gas station at the end of the block. Close to Macalester College, St. Thomas University and St. Catherine's University, all beautiful campuses in the St. Paul area. Not far from Grand Avenue that has GREAT shopping, food and ice cream. Summit Avenue is also nearby which boasts 373 of the original St. Paul mansions built in the 1800's. It's worth a stroll on a nice afternoon to check out these beautiful pieces of architecture!

We were looking for a home that could comfortably accommodate six of us for a weekend getaway, and this one was perfect. With eight beds and four bathrooms, there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable, and there were more than enough towels. The main gathering area was ideal for our retreat. Communication with the owner was excellent, and both check-in and check-out were seamless. We would gladly stay here again.

Funky layout - a super cool house in a great neighborhood. A little store is just a 2 min walk away as well as a pub with great food. The house was perfect for our group with multiple seating areas for hanging out and a big table for everyone to sit at together. The basement is a little basement-y (dehumidifiers running) but provided just enough space. The beds are pretty firm but comfortable. The host was very quick to respond about an outlet that wasn't working. Overall, I'd recommend this place if you are staying in the Twin Cities area!

Lovely property in older, established neighborhood. It's close to all the great things to do in either St. Paul or Minneapolis. I grew up and brought a group of friends to visit Minnesota. It is situated close to multiple freeways/main throughfares so able to get anywhere easily. Lots of local restaurants, coffee shops, dessert places and pizza places nearby. James Beard winner nearby as well.The house is much larger than pictures depict. Five women were able to come together but have our separate places as well. The kitchen is well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, silverware (although we did not do any cooking given the many places to eat in the area). Loved the family room, multiple dining spaces.No cable, but all streaming apps available. 4 bathrooms were well appointed with toilet paper towels, makeup washcloths. The QR codes were fun and fun to look up. Best stocked VRBO I have stayed in with coffee, creamer, filters, sugars etc. Plenty of coffee cups for a big group. Outside seating is plentiful, shaded and with party lights (but mind the noise...). We had a great time and would stay again. Don't hesitate, worth the money. Owner was prompt, easy to communicate with and gave us several options for check in and check out. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your home for the week. We will be back!

Overall, our group had a comfortable stay. The number of bedrooms, beds and bathrooms were great for our large group. The house had lots of old house charm mixed with some unique updates. The owners were thoughtful about the amenities they provided as well as their recommendations for favorite activities and eating spots. The house was in a great central location. When we were having some trouble with the lock, the owner was very quick to respond to help troubleshoot. One thing to note is although the kitchen is great with stocked cupboards and updates, it is very small and is a main thorough way from one part of the house to the other. This is something to consider if you plan on doing a lot of cooking or if you have more elderly guests who have trouble doing the steps that go through the other thorough way. I would book this house again for a large group in the future. The couple of things I would suggest would be to eventually look at updating the carpet and to remove or paint over some larger black skid marks on the walls of the downstairs staircase, hallways and bedroom. This would make it feel even more updated and leave an even better impression.Thank you!

Great family place
This property is just as advertised - excellent space to get together. It is in a quiet older neighborhood, tree lined streets, great for walking. It is also close to a number of places to walk or have food delivered. The house is older with a mix of gorgeous woodwork and quirky more modern additions. We loved it. We had no issue parking both an SUV and a Minivan in the small driveway off of the alley. We also never had an issue with plenty of available street parking. The owners obviously put effort into hosting, from available coffee and popcorn, to toiletries, to high quality towels and mattresses. Very pleased in every way.

This is a very clean and organized home. We really enjoyed the wonderful grocery store at the end of the block and the other little shops in the area. If you are a tall person beware of some of the stairways and you will have trouble in the shower on the main floor. The rest of the bathrooms are great.
