I really can’t say enough great things about our stay ! The bnb is located right in town, the hosts live on site and were so incredibly accommodating, kind and helpful! They even had fresh homemade cookies waiting for us when we arrived! We came here to go to the gem mine which is conveniently about 30 minutes away. We will absolutely be back again next year!

Great stay

We stayed in the host's home, because the demand for rentals the weekend we were there, were greater than rentals available. Karen was kind enough to offer her home and we enjoyed our stay. So nice to walk everywhere and have a comfy bed when we needed rest. Thank you.

Property address is not accurate, should be listed 321A so you know that it is on the back of the primary home. Brick steps to backyard were not cemented on and some were crumbling. The yard had different piles of debris, possibly to be used in art projects. There is a chicken coop with 6 or 7 chickens. One of the chickens got loose & our dog killed it. All in all it was a traumatic event and we did not stay the 2nd night. John & Kathryn are very nice hosts but we would have not stayed with our 9 year old dog had we known there was a chicken coop on the premise.

Good Location

Had a little problem with the code getting in the door on the second night. I’m not sure why the code changed but when I had to knock on the door at 1:00 Am to find out why We couldn’t get in the door, the host yelled out a new code and that was it. The new code worked but we have no idea why it changed. Also getting to the loft is a little awkward down makeshift brick path and avoiding obstacles. If you have troubles walking, it might be difficult walking to the loft with luggage or cooler.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Hansen

Host profile image
My husband Bob and I bought our property in Oct 2021 while we were on our honeymoon and we love it. We still live part time in MN if we aren't here when you come. We love Philipsburg!

Why they chose this property

We loved the fact that our home was a miner's cabin and moved to this location after the mines closed at Granite City in 1900. We have decorated the interior of our home as a Swedish Cottage. The Jailhouse is decorated in western style.

What makes this property unique

Both Bob and I are artists and we have turned our garage below the Loft into a gallery for my paintings and Bob's lamps and furniture that he crafts out of vintage items. Take a tour through the gallery when you are staying with us.
