This property is spectacular! It is so cozy yet modern and has the highest quality items throughout - from the pots and pans, to the towels & bedding, to the furniture and decor. Annie our host is responsive and helpful and clearly knows how to do this VRBO thing right! Our only regret is that we only stayed 2 nights! Next year it’ll be at least 3 nights! Would give 10 stars if I could.

Amazing Getaway!

A well appointed, comfortable, and beautiful space to stay in Northfield. This apartment is conveniently located in downtown Northfield close to great restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, eclectic local shops, and the two colleges on Northfield’s periphery. The owners are super responsive and have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. We will definitely stay here again if available.

Perfect Getaway for Couples

We love your history yet modern and cozy loft in downtown Northfield. No details were spared - favorites include the window seat, comfy bedroom, full kitchen, brick wall and all of the extras - snacks, toiletry items, coffee. Thank you - we had a great time exploring beautiful Northfield and river walk, the restaurants and celebrated our 33rd anniversary 💜

Loved everything

We absolutely loved this little place! It was perfect for our girls weekend. We had our own parking spot which was so nice! One entrance brought you right to all the shops which was so perfect! The owners thought of everything including an extra fan and sound machine which was so nice. Highly recommend and hope to come back again!

Friends and I really enjoyed our stay here. Perfect location for walking to dining, ice cream, and some long hikes in the arboretum. Space very thoughtfully laid out, clean, and comfortable! Perfect spot for three friends to catch up for a night. All communications with Annie very clear and kind. Thanks, Annie!

Adorable Getaway!

My son and I came back to Northfield for a Carleton/St Olaf football game of town rivals. The ease, convenience, cleanliness and many extras such as tea, coffee, snacks, and toiletries was so appreciated! Annie has thought of everything and has stocked the getaway with everything needed for a weekend. The location is so great right in the heart of the village. The only down side, which wasn’t much of an issue for us as we weren’t in the unit much, is the next door unit when rented can be heard through the hallway. You can’t hear from the master bedroom but can hear in the kitchen and living room where my son slept. However this could be similar to staying in a hotel and hearing the adjoining room. Overall though we loved it and would love to come back again! Thanks Annie!

About the host

Hosted by Annie

Host profile image
We were both Minnesota natives with a passion for exploring our great state! We love Northfield and enjoy showing our 3-year-old daughter, Eloise, all of the amazing activities and amenities the city has to offer. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

We own Northside Boards, the skateboard, scooter & snowboard shop on the bottom level of The Getaway building. Make sure to stop by and say hello (ask for Tyler)!

Why they chose this property

As business owners on Division Street, we love the charm and convenience of the historic street. Shopping, restaurants, parks, and the Cannon River are all at your fingertips.

What makes this property unique

The Getaway is in the heart of the historic downtown district, right across the street from Bridge Square. The building was built in 1875, and our apartment has so much of its original charm - the exposed brick wall, the giant arched windows, and beautiful wood floors. The recently renovated apartment offers modern-day amenities with its original old-world charm. This one-bedroom is extremely spacious and offers a dedicated office for those traveling for work.
