This stay was like an adventure -- stunning turn-of-the-20th century home with enough updates to feel fully 2025 functional. The interior architecture was an extra bonus -- lots to look at and admire. We lived in the Twin Cities a long time and never saw this lovely avenue tucked in on the top of Uptown. We took some nice walks, got groceries at the co-op just a couple blocks away, ate at Nightingale and Gai Noi, walked to the Sculpture Garden, and wondered why we ever left Minnesota.

Perfect for our family reunion. Location and off-street parking were so convenient. The mansion has such grand proportions, and the oak interior was stunning. A grand piano, large dining area, and goofy table games were great features.We might suggest better lighting for the bedside areas, as well as safety matting in the porcelain tubs. If some wood polish and rags were available, I think some of the guests would enjoy polishing the stairwell and entry to its' original glory, a worthy labor of love for fine furnishings.

Excellent place to stay!

We enjoyed the mansion. It was conveniently located and easy to get on and off the freeway. Six of us helped cook the Thanksgiving meal in the spacious kitchen. It was a wonderful holiday. We loved taking walks in the neighborhood and found that it was close to grocery stores and restaurants.

Second time here and still as charming as ever

We rented this Vrbo to host a murder mystery dinner party. The home was beautiful and the kitchen was amazing to work in with the chef. Have visited this brownstone previously and so happy we decided to rent it again. Lovely owner who communicated proficiently. Can’t wait to book our next event.

Historic Home

We enjoyed our stay in this unique home. A large main room with a grand piano was lovely for visiting with friends. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked and the dining room was perfect for a special dinner. The home appears to have some renovations underway, and the bathrooms could use more updating, but that did not detract from our stay. Overall, a nice stay in a quiet neighborhood.

Big Old House

Amazing first impression as we walked through the front door. We came to Mnpls for a family wedding at the MIA so the house accommodated 5 adults easily + several family members who were also in town who stopped by to gather. The location was perfect for groceries/beverages/dining and about a 20-minute drive from the airport. The deck off the master was terrific for morning coffee and sunshine. The house is over 100 years old and beautiful, but with a few quirky elements. Our host Gregory was very responsive with detailed instructions which is always appreciated.

Why they chose this property

Comfortable, convenient combination of classic and contemporary.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything but on a quiet 2 block long street. Its like living on an island, at the top of a ridge, yet only 10 blocks to the epicenter of Minneapolis. Can walk to most things in 15 minutes on city streets or take the scenic route through Loring Park.
