New Ulm is well known for its Bavarian roots and it pervades almost everything. From day one, the city was designed as a free-thinking utopia filled with parks every few blocks.
New Ulm is famous for its German festivals such as Bavarian Blast (formally Heritagefest) (July), Bock Fest (March) at the mansion grounds of August Schell of Schell's beer fame, and of course, TWO full weekends of Oktoberfest (Oktober) activities. New Ulm is the host of many baseball, hockey and basketball tournaments.
Our home is just four blocks from beautiful German Park with its fountain, gardens and brand new amphitheater. It is also just 2 blocks from the Historic Turner Hall Turnverein Club complete with bar and restaurant (Rathskeller).
Our home is located almost smack in the middle of town making walking downtown a breeze (about 2 blocks). There you can find everything from live music to German restaurants (Turner Hall and Kaiserhoff), or our Glockenspiel, one of the few free-standing carillon clock towers in the world! You are also just a few blocks from Johnson Park if you want to take in a baseball game.

Adorable house full of character! Plenty of room to spread out but also have fun around the kitchen table! Renters were fantastic and answered any question very quickly! Can’t wait to return next year!

And we can't wait to have you back. Repeat guests are our favorite kind. Thank you!!!
Not only was the home clean and comfortable, the items that were stocked (towels, bedding, paper goods, etc) were very good quality. The fireplace made the home cozy and the kitchen was well stocked with coffee pods and two coffee pots, the latter being very convenient since some guests prefer regular coffee and some decaf. Our hostess was quick to respond and even gave me some recommendations for boutiques to shop. We would return to this VRBO with no hesitation!

The property was great for our family to stay and celebrate an early Christmas with our New Ulm family. We all loved the space, the beautiful decorations, and the proximity to downtown. This was our 2nd year staying here and we will book again.

Thank you so much for your review and staying with us. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope the opportunity for you to stay again comes soon.
We had a great weekend, hanging out with our family. The house was spacious and cool, a wonderful place for playing cards and visiting. The location for 4th of July events was excellent. We also swam and kayaked in Shirley Lake, listening to music in the evening.

Staying at the Holiday Haus was truly a home away from home. It was spacious but cozy with some fun luxuries.
