Good to know

The completely updated two story house, two car garage, and fenced backyard are all yours to enjoy! The main level consists of a completely renovated kitchen with everything you need, including a Vitamix blender, microwave, toaster, instant pot, drip/ K cup coffee maker, French press, kettle, and moka expresso maker (in addition to the usual large appliances). The dining room's comfy upholstered dining chairs will invite you to slow down and enjoy! Whether you prefer watching some tv in the living room or playing games in the sunroom, multiple living areas gives groups space they need to spread out. In the warmer months, you'll love relaxing in the private, 100% fenced back yard, complete with a patio/ grill/ seating, and sand pit for the kids (furnished May-October). When the day is done, the upstairs bedrooms will encourage you to unwind. There are three bedrooms, each with their own clean closet, full length mirror, sumptuous bedding, and blackout curtains/shades. Bedrooms 1 & 2 have king beds as well as desks for remote workers. Bedroom 3 has a queen bed and a trundle twin bed that can be set up if needed. There is a lovely private bonus room with a comfy sofa and TV off of bedroom 3 (with blackout curtains - the perfect movie spot!). The full bathroom upstairs is conveniently located between all of the bedrooms and is stocked with boutique soaps, shampoo and conditioner. If you need to do some laundry during your trip, we have you covered! We added in a brand new washer and dryer upstairs (in bedroom 1)! We also have an iron/ board/ steamer, and extra cleaning supplies should you need them. As mentioned, there is a two car garage that we welcome you to use (a must in Minnesota winters if you don't want to spend 10 minutes scraping your car!).

Other Details to Note

This charming historic craftsman was built in the 1910's and has undergone extensive renovation, but it is not new! Please expect "old building" things like squeaky or sloped floors. Note that the water may have a yellow tint briefly if not used for some time (not harmful), but it quickly flushes out within seconds. If you prefer, there is filtered water in the fridge. Also note, we have the occasional ladybug or boxelder bug in the house. These are super common in MN and are not harmful, but if you absolutely hate bugs, this is something to consider. Lastly, the house is fairly close to the airport, and as such, will have plane noise at times. There is also road construction in the neighborhood (city-wide project for water main cleaning) that will be noisy occasionally. There are sound machines available if you are sensitive to noise.

We loved our trip to Minnesota! We take family trips and travel frequently and this by far was the BEST place we have stayed in. Every detail Amber puts into this house makes it feel like a home away from home. Anything I forgot she had there! My husband and I were beyond impressed! Traveling with 3 kids under 6 presents its own challenges but Amber made the process a lot easier with the amount of baby/kid friendly items available in the house (including toys, games and books), early check in as well as the perfect location across from a park! The neighborhood is great full of friendly people. The location is great for access to MOA or Target Field. Amber was super responsive to my questions and was even able to accommodate our request for an early check in. I would 1000% stay here again as well as recommend to anyone I know traveling to Minnesota!

For Christmas week, my out-of-town sons and their wives stayed at Amber’s place with my young granddaughter, and a grand baby. It was the perfect set up for all of them. Amber’s place is so well-designed and appointed, they had everything they needed including quality items for their young ones: travel cribs, high chair, baby seats, books and toys. We set up and decorated a little Christmas tree, and really enjoyed the peaceful environment, and cooking in the fully-equipped kitchen. Our family looks forward to staying there again, maybe next time in the summer so we can walk through the very cool Linden Hills neighborhood to beautiful Lake Harriet!
