Other Details to Note

This charming 1910s Craftsman has been thoughtfully renovated while maintaining its historic character. As with any older home, you may notice minor quirks such as: - Sloped or squeaky floors. - Occasional brief harmless yellow tint to the water if not used for a bit (I haven't noticed since updating all plumbing & filtered water is available in the fridge). - Harmless ladybugs or boxelder bugs (extremely common in MN). - Occasional plane noise at times (Sound machines and fans are provided for your comfort). We have a strict no-party policy - violations will result in immediate removal (I am always happy to discuss any small gatherings before your booking to see if we can accommodate!). We do have exterior security cameras & noise sensors for security purposes. Finally, please review our cancellation policy prior to booking—we recommend trip insurance. If you cancel after the policy window, we will relist the home and refund only the amount we are able to collect from a successful rebooking.

Where do I begin? This home deserves 10 stars! I’ve stayed in quite a few AirBnBs & this one checks ALL of the boxes. Don’t hesitate, just book it. Amber is a phenomenal host - incredibly friendly & beyond thoughtful with everything she has put into this home. Her generous welcome gift of food is spectacular along with the stocked teas & coffees, and her supply of kid equipment & toys is the absolute best. She even helped me find a local egg hunt for my kids while we were in town! The decor in this home is so warm, comfy, and very high-end. There’s no shortage of dishes/silverware, blankets, amazing pillows, and great towels here. We thoroughly enjoyed using the 2 car garage as well. My kids loved the park right across the street & playing in the sandbox in the backyard. This neighborhood is beyond peaceful. We loved walking down to Wild Rumpus for a fun shopping experience, Sebastian Joes for great ice cream, & explored the nearby lakes. I would absolutely & happily stay here again!

We loved our stay! It was so thoughtfully designed with everything you could need. We had two kiddos with us and this was the perfect place-with Amber even brining in a full sized crib for us to use! You can tell they take pride in their space and truly want you to have a good experience. The area is really nice with so much in walkable distance. We will definitely stay here again!

I could not recommend this home more highly - we had such a comfortable stay at Amber’s place, it was like a home away from home. Amber was quick to respond to all of our needs and Ben even cleared away all the snow in the driveway when a blizzard snowed us in. An amazing home, with everything you would need, spotlessly clean and so beautifully decorated. We will stay here in the future, for sure.

Don’t hesitate to book this home - it’s hotel quality and the only guests are you! Top quality all the way! And a home with everything in just the right place.

This home was perfect for our stay. Amber is a wonderful host, the home is clean and welcoming, and the kitchen is so nicely stocked with some snacks, water, coffee/tea, spices, storage containers/baggies, etc. Things you often don't find waiting for you when you arrive at a property. Amber also provides a selection of fresh fruit or bakery items for a quick breakfast. We love the location, and walked to the restaurant Martina one night (highly recommend). We hope to stay here again some time when we are in Mpls! Don't hesitate to book a stay in Amber's property!

One of the best airbnb experiences we’ve ever had. Beautiful home in a great, walkable location near restaurants, coffee shops, and a nice park. Lots of great toys for kids and all the other essentials to make our stay with two young kids very comfortable. Highly recommended!

Amber’s house right in Linden Hills was perfect for our family. In fact we extended our stay from 3 nights to 2 whole weeks! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a family friendly, beautiful and comfortable stay. Thank you Amber for sharing your beautiful home with us.

This is a beautifully remodeled home in the best neighborhood in Minneapolis. Fabulous livable interior with great kitchen (well stocked), nice bathroom and superb beds. The off street parking and garage is a huge plus. The host was extremely responsive and even stocked breakfast! Will absolutely stay again.

We loved our stay at Amber’s house over the holiday! She thought of absolutely everything for us — setup cribs and chairs for our baby, pulled out toys for our toddler, and had breakfast stocked so we didn’t need to run to the store right away. Amber responded quickly and helped us check-in sooner after an early travel day. The house is very clean with some historic charm. We recommend!
