♡♡ We like to call it "The DocHouse" as it was the first Doctor's house in the area built around 1895. The garage was even used as a stable for the horse and carriages to make house calls. We fell in love with the top-floor apartment, decided to do some updates, and share it with everyone! We call it "The Clara Bell", named in honor of the doctor's wife. We hope you enjoy its cozy and unique character and the attention to detail and decor throughout as much as we do! That one went well, so we decided to completely renovate the next apartment down and call it "The Thomas Grand" in honor of Dr. Thomas Russell. This unit sleeps 6, has great views, hardwood floors, and much more, and is available on VRBO too for you to enjoy!
♡♡ The DocHouse Suites are located in downtown Grand Rapids, MN, within a short walk to the NEW Brewery (Rapids Brewing Co.) and the NEW Winery (Unwined Up North) as well as many local shops and coffee shops like The Lake & Co. and Brewed Awakening, plus more!
♡♡ We are also located just 5 miles from the NEW Tioga Recreation Area with tons of some of the state's best mountain biking trails, with many more being built, as well as less than a mile from the Mesabi Trail entrance at the Fairgrounds for great views and a more leisurely or long distance ride! Ride for the day and enjoy downtown at night!
Entire Suite and it's amenities are included...please make yourself at home! You will have easy access with a keypad to check-in with.
Please don't hesitate to ask us any questions about the area or for more info! We are here to make your stay as enjoyable as possible!
