The house was perfect for our family gathering and we were just a couple of blocks from Macalester College where our daughter was graduating. The kitchen was gorgeous and fully equipped, the decor was beautiful and the beds were very comfy. Thank you Tanya for helping to make our stay so great! We will definitely be returning!

Great Neighborhood in St. Paul

This property was a great place for our family to stay during a trip to St. Paul for a family wedding. The house was just as listed and the hosts were very accommodating, responsive, and nice. The older, quiet neighborhood was great with many local places to visit. We have a larger family, so having one bathroom was a little bit of a challenge; however, the bathroom was remodeled and lovely. We would definitely stay again.

Amazing place for a family

Our stay was perfect. The house is cozy and well stocked, I loved that everything was labeled to make it easier to cook in an unfamiliar kitchen. It was room for a family of seven, plenty of games for the kids. We had issues with the internet and the owner had the problem solved right away. This is definitely a home I would love to stay at amytime we visit. Thank you for having us and accommodating our early arrival.
