We had a large group and had to find something last minute due to a scheduling error which the previous house we had books. The host was great at answering our questions and very helpful during the booking process. The house has great potential but needed a good clean. The house has great potential but it definitely could use a good cleaning due to LOTS of dust, dead bugs, and hair in the showers and sheets.

About the host

Hosted by John Wright

Host profile image
I’m a Bristol local, born in the 70s, and after a 30-year career in corporate America, I transitioned into my true passion: Real Estate. Today, I focus on growing our local business and mentoring others in the industry to help them build their own brands. My life is rooted in family—I share my home with my wife and our two dogs, Alcey and Atticus. When we aren't working or enjoying the outdoors, we are soaking up every minute with our grown children and grandchildren.

As a host, I combine my corporate background with a personal touch to provide a seamless, professional experience. I love sharing the hidden gems of the Twin Cities with visitors. To make sure your trip starts on a high note, I always leave a small local gift so you can take a piece of Bristol home with you.

Why they chose this property

946 Shelby Street sits in a spot that perfectly captures the heart of Bristol. I chose this area because it offers that rare balance of historic charm and modern convenience. You are minutes away from State Street’s iconic - A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE - sign, world-class music venues, and local breweries. What I love most is the neighborhood's energy—it’s quiet enough for a relaxing evening on the porch but close enough to the action that you can feel the city's pulse, especially during race weekends or Rhythm & Roots.

What makes this property unique

The 'Shelby Estate' is a rare find because it offers a true private compound experience in an urban setting. While most rentals force large groups to cram into a single space, our property features a beautifully restored Main House paired with a completely separate modern Studio. This layout is a game-changer for multi-generational families, wedding parties, or remote workers who need a quiet, professional 'office' away from the main group. You get the character of a vintage 1800s home with the privacy and flexibility of two distinct living spaces—plus plenty of room for everyone to gather together for a BBQ or a night by the fire.
