About this house rental

This charming 1920’s bungalow/cottage has been in our family for over a century and we love spending time here when we are in town. With high ceilings, original woodwork, hardwood floors, and amazing front porch it is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway.
It is minutes from the Mississippi waterfront, bike path, Lumberkings Stadium, local grocery, and several bars and restaurants.

This VRBO was absolutely perfect, incredibly homey and comfortable from the moment we walked in. We especially appreciated the YouTube TV access, which let us catch the Husky game with no hassle. The location was ideal, tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood but still close to everything we needed. The beds were super comfy, and the full kitchen made it easy to feel right at home. We had a great stay and will definitely be coming back!
