About this property

Charming Historic Home. Large 5 bed 2 bath- close to everything

This charming home is in the heart of downtown Chaska. A step away from everything; lake, beach, parks, trails, convention/curling center, breweries, restaurants, bakery, antique shops, consignment and other stores. Explore this Historic downtown area and stay in a unique historic 5-bedroom 2-bath home. Kitchen and main floor bath are recently renovated, keeping the same historic charm as you would have found at the beginning of the 20th century. Home has been decorated with vintage decor and ammenities. And don't forget we have the world's largest mustache in the front yard!

Beautiful historic home

Everything was exactly as portrayed in their pictures, very warm and inviting! The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking utensils and pans as well as basic spices, etc. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to family and friends! The location was perfect for our son’s wedding reception at the Curling Center across the street. Thank you for making the whole experience wonderful!

Thanksgiving/Birthday Celebration

The facility was very nice. The steam radiator heating took us a bit to learn to manage. The kitchen had a few gaps for someone preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for 20, but overall we had a great time.

Ladies weekend

Eight ladies celebrated 42 years of friendship at your home. Each year we plan a long fall weekend to be together. We are from MN, FL & AZ. Your home is comfortable and met our basic needs. The warm fall weather this year allowed us to be outdoors on the patio area which we all enjoyed. We attended a play at The Chanhassen Dinner Theater which we recommend to all.

Perfect house for our annual girls trip!

We had a great stay! Everything was very clean. The house has everything we could have needed including shampoo, conditioner, lotion, soap, etc. They even had very high quality toilet paper which sounds silly but I appreciated and noticed. The house has a lot of charm. The dining room chairs were not very comfortable for playing games but they were part of the decor and charm. Location was great and it was a bonus having the "World's Largest mustache" in our front yard since we seek out funny things like this on our trips. There were 7 of us and we would all recommend staying here!

Beautiful Inside and out!

We stayed here for a family wedding in the area. The house was so lovely--all the little extras one would want as far as spices and kitchen bits (although we weren't there to cook at all). Super thoughtfully stocked in bathrooms. Comfy beds. Gorgeous home. Sad we didn't get to explore the home or area more. Perhaps next niece or nephew that gets married we will be able to stay again and experience more of the home!

We love this beautiful house. When we first saw it we knew it had potential. So we worked very hard on the main floor bathroom and kitchen to get it up to par.
