Historic 1880s Home

Voted 2021 and 2023 Readers’ Choice Best Bed and Breakfast of the Valley by the Sun Country Messenger!

Perfect for those who appreciate yesterday’s handiwork, this spacious 1880s home is truly one of a kind built by pioneering Dr. Combacker. Slow down and relish in yesteryear as you sip coffee in a front porch rocker, bird watch from the bay window, or take a long soak in the jetted tub.

Loaded with more than the essentials, we offer a full kitchen, bbq equipment, and toiletries. Besides being close to outdoor recreation and downtown, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained here from board games, puzzles, cards, and reading material to a big backyard with an outdoor fire pit.

Wonderfully nestled in the St. Croix Valley, this home’s location will not disappoint. You’ll be a short distance from all that the Twin Cities has to offer, a brief walk away from beautiful downtown Osceola, and close enough to explore the great outdoors. Come spend a night away yet within arm’s reach of it all at Osceola’s most historic estate.

Please note this is a duplex and there is potential for noise. We live in the adjacent unit and have two young children who like to do child things. We do our best to be respectful of our guests by keeping noise and activity at a minimum, and we give our guests first priority in shared outdoor spaces.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers a jetted tub and hair dryers. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Very pleasant and epitomes of old world Wisconsin,well built heritage. 10 minutes from Trollhaugen a hidden gem you wished you'd had in your backyard, your neighborhood, your "ski-mom" carpool or drawing your ski team bus. Rope tows galore, vintage lifts among the new, board talent, ski racers and families building the same. We are coming back.

We enjoyed our time in this lovely and comfortable home. It was the perfect place for our family gathering. The bedroom and bathroom on the main floor worked well for my older mother. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. Host was a great communicator. There is a full grocery store just a few blocks away. Parking was easy. Lots of board games available for us to play.

Dr. Comebacker 1880 house was the perfect base for our weekend. It has everything you need for a stay away from home and Allison is very responsive if you need anything. Osceola is a quaint little town withany cute shops within walking distance of the rental house. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
