Our home is within walking distance of the MN State Fairgrounds and Como Park! Perfect if you are a fan of the fair or have a wedding/event at the Como Conservatory. This space doubles as a photography studio and has tons of natural light as well as surfaces/backgrounds for all your photo needs. Each room has a different theme, and we highly recommend taking a soak in the clawfoot tub. This home was built in 1900, so it has the old charm and woodwork, but AC/Heat and modern amenities.
The space Enter through the front door and lounge in the SKY Chair or on the vintage couch on the porch. When you head inside, the living room/dining room will be to your left, the kitchen will be straight ahead.
The living room has a couch, 2 chairs, an electric fireplace, and a TV. We've stocked some games and coloring books for your enjoyment as well.
The dining room can double as a great meeting space. There's a desk with wireless charging, a "marble" table to enjoy your meals and cocktails, and access to the deck through the big bay doors.
You can enjoy your coffee and look at the window from the breakfast nook or sit at the kitchen island.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms with different themes. The "Dark" room has warm brown tones with a skylight and a modern chandelier. It's the biggest of the three rooms and has a queen memory foam mattress.
The "White" room is boho-themed with cream-colored bedding and crouched art. The walk-in closet has extra pillows and lots of room to store your things. The decorative bedframe holds a queen memory foam mattress.
The "Bold" room has a full bed and a velvet chaize lounge. The pops of color and textures are fun and playful.
You can park in the street with ease or in the driveway at the back of the home which you can access from the alley.

Great location for us. We rented the house to visit family and go to the NFL game. Comfortable size. Well equipped with everything we needed. Host was so quick to respond with any questions we had. We had a lovely stay!
The location of this house is perfect for going to the State Fair as it is less than a 10 minute walk! The house was very cute and clean, with plenty of space and seating for everyone. The beds were comfortable, the closets are huge and great for putting your suitcases. There were plenty of towels and the water pressure in the shower was great. We would definitely stay here again!
We had a great time staying at this house! The location was great and allowed us to access most of the Twin Cities. The house was exactly as advertised - the beds were very comfortable!
Loved this property! Very clean, well stocked, and owners were very responsive. Great location and plenty of on street parking. Would definitely recommend and stay again!!
The house was perfect for our small girlfriend getaway of 3. The neighborhood was quiet but close to some great restaurants and activities to enjoy. We spent some time at Como Lake, the Como Conservatory and shopping and eating on Grand Ave.
This home was the perfect place for our girls weekend. The home was exceptionally clean, well appointed with everything we needed and just plain charming! We enjoyed the property and would definitely recommend it.
Perfect 3 bedroom, beautiful property! Close to the state fair grounds!
The property was exactly life the pictures - beautiful clean and perfect! It was the right distance from our event and it was a great place to stay. Very happy with everything!
This was the perfect place for us to gather for our girls' craft weekend. Plenty of space to gather and catch up, play some games, and a great table to work on our various crafts. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
This was an amazing experience, we were impressed with the location being very close to the state fair. It was a beautiful home with many features including an outside fireplace which was enjoyed every night we stayed. The property was spacious and clean with clear instructions for arriving and departing.
This is a beautiful VRBO. Excellent Decor. Easy access to the Twin City offerings. Very close to Como Park which is great.
Would definitely stay here again

Thank you for staying with us! We loved hosting you all!
We had an amazing stay at Angela and Thomas’s place. Their house was as listed and is simply adorable. It was comfortable, clean, and we felt at home in their place. Angela and Thomas were really great hosts and easy-going. We would definitely stay here again when we’re next in town!
We were in St Paul for a wedding in Como Park. The location was perfect. Beautiful neighborhood. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had a little trouble with entry, but I called the host and she helped me get in right away. One thing we didn’t care for was one of the couches in the living room - It was too stiff to get comfortable on so we just had the one couch.

Thanks Denise! Sorry, you didn't like one of our couches and found it uncomfortable. We provided all the entry info for you with 2 different options - and it seems as if you had a user error when we talked on the phone. Glad you were able to get in and enjoy your stay!
I, my husband, and our two year old daughter vacationed at this property for a long weekend getaway. The home was comfortable and clean, and anything we needed to use was easy to find. The hosts provided us with child-proofing supplies if we needed them and also set up the travel bed (pack-n-play) for our daughter (who isn’t quite ready for a regular bed yet). The hosts were wonderful to communicate with and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet. Although we drove to the Como Zoo, we definitely could have walked there! Every place we visited during our stay was easy to get to - Mall of America, Snake Discovery, MN Largest Candy Store, Como Zoo, and grocery stores. This was our first time renting a vacation home so we were a little trepidatious, but our hosts and their property made our stay comfortable, inviting, and so easy. We had such a great experience we may find it hard to ever stay at a hotel again! Thank you to the Knox family for being gracious hosts!
Great place for our multi generation group of adults. It's conveniently located near the fairgrounds and Como Zoo.
