Everything you need and More

This property is exactly what we were looking for! We joined our friends for a short weekend stay and the house has everything and more. The owner stocked amazing coffee, snacks and waters for us. The sheets and bedding is so soft and comfortable and it was the perfect size for 4 of us. The location is great and a great neighborhood for walking as well. Perfect in every-way and will definitely stay here again

A Perfect Home-Away-From-Home

Petra is an excellent, communicative host. The house is exactly as described on the website and is decorated with care and charm. A great deal of attention has gone into sustainability and environmental concerns (in household items and cleaning/bath products) and there are specific guidelines to follow to make sure these practices are maintained (very clearly described once you check in). You will feel safe and comfortable (great beds!) in this house that is really a home.

Best VRBO experience ever

The house is clean, comfortable, and very well-appointed. The host has thoughtfully considered everything you could want or need in a VRBO. The beds are comfortable, the window coverings are great (blinds and black out curtains), the linens are in excellent condition, the kitchen is well-stocked, and there are great back-up supplies on hand. We will definitely be renting here again when we return for another visit with friends who live in the area.

Cozy home in quiet neighborhood

This is my second extended stay with Petra’s house. This rental is perfect for a family visiting a college student, or just for a nice homey place away from home. It can be hard to find the right VRBO but this one ticks all the boxes for me - cozy house, clean, eco friendly, great communication from the owner, walkable to many neighborhood cafes, restaurants, etc. I do not think it will disappoint in any way. The pictures truly represent the home!

Absolutely Fantastic

The location is so warm and inviting when you step through the door. We were very impressed with all the amenities this location had to offer. The host has thought of everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Extra blankets, thick bath towels, and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you would need to prepare a meal. If it was possible to give this location more than five stars, I would. We will definitely be back to stay in the future. Thank you Petra, for a wonderful stay.

A home away from home

This home is comfortable, very clean, beautiful artwork in every room. Kitchen utensils, linens, towels, etc. are very good quality and in perfect condition. The laundry area is clean and the washer and dryer are in very good condition. The host has provided a variety of eco friendly soaps and I've found some new favorites. The host responded very quickly when contacted about a minor issue. The neighborhood is quiet and feels very safe. It everything you want when you need a home away from home.

Great house near Colleges

My daughter and I stayed here during an admitted student’s weekend for Macalester College. The house is is a safe, quiet neighborhood walking distance to 3 colleges Mac, St Thomas and St. Catherine’s. Petra was a fantastic communicator with us. Easy checkin and check out. Loved the host providing complimentary coffee, cream, oatmeal and soups. Clean nice three bedroom house. Host provided list of great nearby restaurants including a fantastic Italian place - Luca Ancona. Overall it was a perfect rental for our needs.

Lovely home/good location

My son, daughter-in-law, and 3 grandchildren (5, 4, 1) stayed at the home. It was very clean with a lovely garden and screened gazebo in the backyard. Petra, our host, worked hard to provide the family with what it needed -- a pack-and-play and high chair for their one-year-old. One drawback for them was that they were there during a heat wave, and the third bedroom is not air conditioned. It proved to be too hot and sun-lit for young children going to bed before 8.

Beautiful home.

This home is a five star all the way. It is a clean, well kept home with everything you need right at your fingertips. Kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, utensils and pots and pans. All are high quality items. Linens on the beds and bathroom towels are in perfect condition. And there are a variety of blankets and comforters available depending on your preferences. The artwork throughout the home is not to be missed. It's beautiful! The weather was not conducive to outside activities while we were there but the yard is spacious and there is a patio with a table and chairs and a lovely screened in gazebo. The neighborhood is quiet and pleasant. This is truly a very comfortable and enjoyable place to stay.

Lovely neighborhood home on quiet street…

My daughter recently had surgery and we needed an extended stay in a location near to her medical clinic and also her university. This home was just about as close to feeling like my own home as I could imagine!! Beautiful neighborhood with many choices of cafes, restaurants to walk to. The house itself is super clean, well organized, fully stocked with pantry basics, pots/pans, kitchen utensils, and everything you would need for cooking. Petra supplies cleaners, laundry detergent, etc that are all eco friendly. But most importantly, Petra is an excellent host and quickly responds to messsges. She was so incredibly thoughtful in terms of my daughter’s recovery and even changed out the shower head to a handheld! If you are looking for a comfortable, homey place to stay this is it. I would highly recommend!!

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

I really liked the opportunity to have a home that is convenient to both downtowns. The home was built in 1949 and has beautiful brickwork and lends itself to a Mid-Century Modern vibe which I love! I tried to find MCM furniture where I could.

What makes this property unique

I am very health conscious and so have tried to make this home as eco-friendly as I possible. The floors were redone in water-based poly. The paints were zero or low VOC. The mattresses are natural with no chemicals. The towels are organic cotton. I had the dirty electricity mitigated and there is an option to turn off the WiFi and use ethernet cables to access the internet. I use non-toxic cleaners and the soaps and washing machine powders are eco-friendly as well. If there is anything else you need please let me know!
