Very neat space provided a great escape for a fun theatre weekend! Loved the tub and Victorian feel. Very cozy and welcoming. Would definitely stay again!
We really enjoyed our time here! Loved the decor and the spaciousness. The ceiling angles might be difficult for tall people to navigate, particularly at the kitchen counter, but overall it is a great find.
We were part of a theatre group that were performing locally inthe area for the weekend. Myself and 1 other cast member wanted a quiet place to stay and this was definately it. The accomodations were comfortable and the space was charming! We LOVED the alcove space and windows. We will definately be back again - hopefully with more time to enjoy the area.
I had a comfortable stay. I could explore the city during the day and come home later on to relax. Gerry was there to greet me upon arrival, making it easy to settle in. Plently of towels and snacks provided. Quiet area. Would stay again.
Spotless, quiet, third floor 2 bed, 1 large bath w tub/shower apartment across from Swede Hollow Park and walk/bike trail system. Nice sitting area, large TV w streaming. Windows open for fresh air. Galley kitchen w sink, oven, full fridge, fully supplied. 7 min drive to Regions Hospital. 3 min drive to YMCA. Owner very nice and responsive. Neighborhood felt a bit sketchy but never had any problems even when needing to come/go after dark. I would definitely stay here again.
What a charming little apartment overlooking Swede Hollow Park. I adored the uniqueness of the space and all of yhe thoughtful touches to make it a home away from home. Just be sure to duck in some places if you're tall like me! ]
Beautiful apartment for our girls trip. Clean and comfortable with all of the amenities of home and even some little extras that really made this property a step above others we have stayed in. Owners very easy to communicate with and very friendly! You won’t regret staying here.
Loved the uniqueness of this place. We just had a short stay and didn't get to enjoy all of the amenities of this place, but it was clean and very well updated.
What an enjoyable gem! My parents and I came into the cities via Amtrak and found this was very convenient to the station with a quick ride. We loved the location being close to downtown attractions yet in a quiet, older neighborhood. Sure, expect some nuances in an older home and on the 3rd floor/attic. (low ceiling on one side of a bed, little nooks around, getting into the claw foot tub/shower carefully as a very petite senior, small kitchenette, etc). We found our stay was comfortable and happy with the thoughtful items for us guests. (snacks, bottled water, makeup face towels included within towels supplied, extra hygiene items within the bathroom mirror cabinet, books & pamphlets about the area’s history on the coffee table). Even having separate HVAC from the rest of the house so we could have complete control over the temperature in our unit was a great perk!We are very happy overall with our stay and hope to see the area again (like the large park across the street) when it’s warmer!

What a great majestic home! Felt very rested and enjoyed the 3rd floor apartment, will be looking for an excuse to come back to St Paul and stay here again!
We would not have found a better place to stay than this magical home during our visit for the Renaissance Faire! It is cozy, quiet, beautiful, and felt like home away from home. I can't recommend it enough! Hosts were absolutely the sweetest!
We absolutely loved our stay here! We came into town for a concert and stayed a few extra days to explore the area. The property was clean and very quiet. They had extras, such as coffee, tea, bottled water, and granola bars. There was a small kitchenette. We didn’t need to use it, but It had an oven and stove. We did use the coffee maker and refrigerator. The beds were very comfy and the bathroom was spacious. We were excited that there was a floor length mirror. Many excellent tv options. We would definitely stay here again!
The swede hollow property was perfect for our needs. We loved the look of the property and the ease of getting to it. The little reading nook in the bathroom were our favorite parts. Owners were super friendly and helpful.
This was one of my most pleasant VRBO stays. It was very clean, tastefully decorated, and very cozy. If you like history, this house and the area is full of St Paul’s past. The owners are very welcoming, and I highly recommend this place.
I loved this neighborhood on the hill overlooking swede hollow park and Metropolitan State. A great spot for a quiet getaway. Nice and quiet and night too. Would like more pillows and more operable windows (bathroom especially) for some breeze. Make sure you identify where the lock box is (on the porch and around the corner when you come in the first door.) Overall very nice.
Great place! Beds and couch very comfy! Close to downtown StPaul.

About the host
Hosted by michel taylor
I have lived in this property and neighborhood for many years. Three years ago I married Gerry and with his handyman abilities and my love of historical architecture we set about remodeling our third floor attic space. We decided to open an Airbnb after 6 months of work because we like entertaining. I worked for 30 years as a Registered Nurse at Regions Hospital and he is a retired Electrician.
Why they chose this property
This has always been a hidden jewel of an area that wasn't well known. Recently there have been books published, documentaries, and bus tours highlighting the rich history of the area. This is one of the many Hamm's family homes in the area. Parts of the expansive brewery remain and can be viewed from the house. There is also an existing craft brewery in operation with entertainment.
What makes this property unique
We are located in the heart of downtown St. Paul about 1 mile from the Mississippi River. Directly across the street is Swede Hollow Park which is very picturesque with hiking and biking trails and historical features. Our area is quiet and located on a dead end street so no traffic to contend with. We are close to major routes and less than a mile from historic Indian Mounds Park with beautiful views of the city and river. Restaurants and venues nearby or you can jump on a Lyme scooter and ride to your destination.
