What an amazing house. So much history and architecture beauty. Renovations are still happening but the experience of witnessing historical significance in a weekend was enjoyed. The location offered a glimpse into old Minneapolis and getting around was a breeze. The host was gracious and accommodating. A weekend to remember. Three longtime friends with our own bedroom and adjoining bathroom.

Excellent place to stay!

We enjoyed the mansion. It was conveniently located and easy to get on and off the freeway. Six of us helped cook the Thanksgiving meal in the spacious kitchen. It was a wonderful holiday. We loved taking walks in the neighborhood and found that it was close to grocery stores and restaurants.

This stay was like an adventure -- stunning turn-of-the-20th century home with enough updates to feel fully 2025 functional. The interior architecture was an extra bonus -- lots to look at and admire. We lived in the Twin Cities a long time and never saw this lovely avenue tucked in on the top of Uptown. We took some nice walks, got groceries at the co-op just a couple blocks away, ate at Nightingale and Gai Noi, walked to the Sculpture Garden, and wondered why we ever left Minnesota.

Historic Home

We enjoyed our stay in this unique home. A large main room with a grand piano was lovely for visiting with friends. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was fully stocked and the dining room was perfect for a special dinner. The home appears to have some renovations underway, and the bathrooms could use more updating, but that did not detract from our stay. Overall, a nice stay in a quiet neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

Comfortable, convenient combination of classic and contemporary.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything but on a quiet 2 block long street. Its like living on an island, at the top of a ridge, yet only 10 blocks to the epicenter of Minneapolis. Can walk to most things in 15 minutes on city streets or take the scenic route through Loring Park.
