About this property

Dramatic Mission-Style Home - Minutes to Downtown

This home has just undergone a complete overhaul. All new furnishings, paint, BA shower, etc.

We've gotten some false/untrue reviews the last couple, but those were also PRIOR to the renovation. We're rated 5.0 on Heir-Be-N-Bea, I invite anyone to check out those reviews. We've been hosts for 7+ years, Superhosts, we know what we're doing.

A beautiful 4BR Mission-style home that features original oak woodwork, a boxed-ceiling dining room with buffet, all new windows, refinished maple floors, an updated kitchen with stainless appliances, professional gas range, dishwasher and disposal, and a large fenced backyard with rear deck. Great for travelers looking to stay minutes from the city yet close to highways and other transportation.

This house is in the McKinley Neighborhood of Minneapolis. Located 2 miles from the edge of Downtown Minneapolis (the North Loop area) and just across the bridge from North East (NE). This home is close to everything, yet easy access to highways like 94, 694, 394, 55 and 35W.

Professionally decorated and furnished, this is a home with character and charm, not just a place to sleep. Comfy and elegant, this home is fully equipped with everything you need to live and function. Featuring a 65" 4k HDTV, and high-speed wireless internet great for steaming or doing business.

This has been a full-time Short Term Rental for the last 7 years. It's all we do. Previously listed on other websites, we're finally offering it on VRBO! We've hosted hundreds of guests and many events such as weddings, reunions, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, etc.

Some things to note-
The basement is not accessible to guests while it undergoes renovation.
The side yard is not pictured as it's not an amenity.
The garage is not available.

Read before reserving

Numerous issues we experienced • Difficulty opening entrance (gate on fence). After a few minutes we used a stick to raise the bar & open the gate • House was very dusty so we cleaned a little • Bring your own pillows unless you like sleeping on thin ones • Check the dishes & utensils. We had to clean a mug & knife • Spiders on the bed • Flies in an upstairs bedroom • Ants crawling on the floor • Lamps without on/off switches • Light sockets without bulbs • Coffee machine with no visible instructions • Downstairs kitchen light switch on wall is loose & lights flicker. Sometimes, these lights would flicker on their own & turn off even after you found the “sweet spot.” • Downstairs has one window AC unit. When we arrived a large number of window shades were up letting in the heat. 4th bedroom is down stairs. We turned the air down & went to a Twins game. We returned that evening & the downstairs was still warm • We were really excited to lounge on the deck but host revealed in the greeting that the last guest had damaged them & the host was waiting on a claim to be resolved. The assumption was no cushions • Host also sent a lengthy message and asked me to leave a 5 star review • We left the property & made other arrangements at a hotel

Double check with property manager

I had a horrible experience. I booked this house 5 months in advance for my bachelorette party. I never heard anything from Blake after booking so I contacted him an hour before getting to the house. I was then informed that the house was double booked and I was left to find my own lodging for the weekend. Blake was responsive to the problem but I’d advise you contact him sooner rather than later to insure that this issue does not happen to you!!!

Disappointing

The property is rundown compared to listing photos. The prior guests were difficult which trickled down to us. Owner had to come for 3 days to cleanup the outside. We were having my Moms funeral so this was all stressfull. We had to take the old cushions for the outdoor furniture out off the garage and cover with blankets for our Celebration of Life gathering. There were still 5 bins of stinky garbage in the back. Blake tried but getting the property together was tough. I think compensation was in order. The kitchen was poorly appointed and cupboards dirty.

Good location, but needs a deep cleaning

Mouse droppings in kitchen drawers. Lots. In almost every drawer. Some new. Some old. (See earlier reviews.) We contacted the owners first night about bed sheets having crumbs/debris/hair/crusty unknown spots. Cool old house that simply needs a deep cleaning.

About the host

Hosted by Blake

My name is Blake. I bought my first house directly across the street from this property in 2003 and lived there for nearly 4 years. So, I know the neighborhood. I was also on the board of directors for 2 years. I live in this part of Minneapolis, and do all my business there. I run a very small property management and renovation company. We specialize in vintage homes and restoring their character.

Why they chose this property

When I walked into this house the first time, I knew I was going to buy it. Even though carpet hid the HW floors, and there was terrible wallpaper on the walls, the house has character and woodwork. Now, after nearly a decade of owning it, we stored it top to bottom into the home I knew it could be. I love this property and hope you do too.
