Charming Cottage with Hot Tub, Fire Pit, & Wooded Backyard
Welcome to our home away from home!
This family friendly charming cottage is less than 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul. You can stay here and enjoy the wooded backyard with bonfires and relaxing in the hot tub, or spend a night in Minnesota's capital city enjoying amazing restaurants, concerts, or any of the many festivals going on in the cities. We are off of the Gateway Trail, and many bike paths that lead all the way through the Twin Cities and to many of the Lakes nearby.
The space: This private residence has kept all its historic charm and it is truly a treasure to be in the middle of Saint Paul and have a large wooded backyard.
Some conveniences youâll enjoy:
-A quaint kitchen stocked with cooking supplies - Dedicated desk and workspace - Well thought I was sleeping accommodations - A wooded backyard for kids to play an explorer - A hot tub - A fan operated fire pit that keeps your fire going and the smoke out of your eyes! - outdoor deck with outdoor dining and egg chair - A magical tree fort for children five and older (all children must be supervised by adults in the tree fort). - Charming lights everywhere that make the home so cozy!
Guest access: The full home and yard is available to guest. You will enter at the front door with a personal code.
Beautiful piece of property but some things need attention, mainly outside. Chairs by firepit were very dirty; table, deck and front steps need a paint job; hot tub didn't look clean. We also had some trouble with the key pad to open the house. Took us three tries on two occasions. Inside of the house was nice and well equipped. Owner was very responsive to questions we had. Overall, we enjoyed the stay. We were here to attend the Minnesota State Fair.
We had a wonderful experience at this Vrbo rental. The place was clean, very cozy, and extremely comfortableâexactly what we needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect, close to everything yet peaceful and quiet. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
What a beautiful house! Everything is cozy, inviting, and clean. Minutes from everything in St. Paul, but a backyard that makes you feel like youâre in the woods. Could not have been happier. Thank you so much!!
The cottage is extremely cute and very clean. There is a lovely fire pit, hot tub and tree fort. Everything needed for our three day stay was provided. 10 out of 10!We will come again.
The house was very nice, beds were comfortable. We came here after having a celebration of life for my wife who passed away six months ago. It was just what I needed. Peaceful and comfortable. Lots of nice little touches. Made for a relaxing few days.
The pictures do look a little outdated based on our recent stay. Itâs definitely a cute house but in need of updates and tlc. The outdoor space is was a little overgrown and all of the chairs very dirty. It seems like the area might not be in the best neighborhood. They made it a point to lock your car doors and a local told us not to go out and walk our dogs past dusk. I did think it was very strange their refrigerator wasnât empty. It was stocked full of crusty condiments, half full 2 gallon pop, olives, etc. and thought this was pretty gross. It was also very hot throughout the house despite all of the air window units. I would also suggest if having plants is something they want to have going forward to keep them all alive because dead/dying plants inside lead to bugs/weird smells and there were both present.
Beautiful house near all the activities we were interested in. Lots of family owned restaurants in the area, and close to downtown St. Paul. The only thing I would have liked, is dressers in the 2 bedrooms. When staying for a week I like to put my clothes away.
We stayed 2 nights with my teenage boys and 78 yr old mom. Very clean older home. The backyard is very nice with fire pit and treehouse: would be fun for younger kids. Nice neighborhood. Lots of steps in home: FYI for older folks. Very well stocked home and kitchen- everything you need.
Our group of 8 young women found this house to be SO pretty and cozy. We were able to just hang out comfortably and enjoy the comfy living room and hot tub in the evening. The bedrooms were all comfortable. Heidi, the manager, could not have been more helpful and responsive. Go ahead and rent this one...you won't regret it!
Great house and easy check in! There was lots of room to sit, chat, and have a nice girls weekend in the twin cities. Plenty of street parking. Only thing is that the faucets were difficult to turn off completely, both the kitchen and bathroom sink faucets leaked slightly.
I grew up in small-town Minnesota, traveled worldwide, and landed back in MN at this charming cottage in the heart of St. Paul.
I am an adventure guide, life coach, and then I get to host these amazing properties!
I love hosting because I love creating experiences for people, I want each listing to make you feel like you are truly hosted and taken care of during your stay. I love helping guests cultivate a wonderful experience during their stay.
This Charming Cottage is in the heart of the twin cities and yet feels like you are almost tucked in the woods. I love how close everything is and the fun you can have just relaxing in the backyard.
This home has kept all of its original charm from the 1930s and it has a wonderful backyard with a hot tub, fire pit, basketball net, woods, and a magical tree fort.
