Dramatic Mission-Style Home - Minutes to Downtown
About this house rental
Situated in Minneapolis, this attractive house for $272 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. This home has just undergone a complete overhaul. All new furnishings, paint, BA shower, etc. We've gotten some false/untrue reviews the last couple, but those were also PRIOR to the renovation. We're rated 5.0 on Heir-Be-N-Bea, I invite anyone to check out those reviews. We've been hosts for 7+ years, Superhosts, we know what we're doing. A beautiful 4BR Mission-style home that features original oak woodwork, a boxed-ceiling dining room with buffet, all new windows, refinished maple floors, an updated kitchen with stainless appliances, professional gas range, dishwasher and disposal, and a large fenced backyard with rear deck. Great for travelers looking to stay minutes from the city yet close to highways and other transportation. This house is in the McKinley Neighborhood of Minneapolis. Located 2 miles from the edge of Downtown Minneapolis (the North Loop area) and just across the bridge from North East (NE). This home is close to everything, yet easy access to highways like 94, 694, 394, 55 and 35W. Professionally decorated and furnished, this is a home with character and charm, not just a place to sleep. Comfy and elegant, this home is fully equipped with everything you need to live and function. Featuring a 65" 4k HDTV, and high-speed wireless internet great for steaming or doing business. This has been a full-time Short Term Rental for the last 7 years. It's all we do. Previously listed on other websites, we're finally offering it on VRBO! We've hosted hundreds of guests and many events such as weddings, reunions, birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties, etc. Some things to note- The basement is not accessible to guests while it undergoes renovation. The side yard is not pictured as it's not an amenity. The garage is not available.

Numerous issues we experienced
• Difficulty opening entrance (gate on fence). After a few minutes we used a stick to raise the bar & open the gate
• House was very dusty so we cleaned a little
• Bring your own pillows unless you like sleeping on thin ones
• Check the dishes & utensils. We had to clean a mug & knife
• Spiders on the bed
• Flies in an upstairs bedroom
• Ants crawling on the floor
• Lamps without on/off switches
• Light sockets without bulbs
• Coffee machine with no visible instructions
• Downstairs kitchen light switch on wall is loose & lights flicker. Sometimes, these lights would flicker on their own & turn off even after you found the “sweet spot.”
• Downstairs has one window AC unit. When we arrived a large number of window shades were up letting in the heat. 4th bedroom is down stairs. We turned the air down & went to a Twins game. We returned that evening & the downstairs was still warm
• We were really excited to lounge on the deck but host revealed in the greeting that the last guest had damaged them & the host was waiting on a claim to be resolved. The assumption was no cushions
• Host also sent a lengthy message and asked me to leave a 5 star review
• We left the property & made other arrangements at a hotel

I had a horrible experience. I booked this house 5 months in advance for my bachelorette party. I never heard anything from Blake after booking so I contacted him an hour before getting to the house. I was then informed that the house was double booked and I was left to find my own lodging for the weekend. Blake was responsive to the problem but I’d advise you contact him sooner rather than later to insure that this issue does not happen to you!!!

The property is rundown compared to listing photos. The prior guests were difficult which trickled down to us. Owner had to come for 3 days to cleanup the outside. We were having my Moms funeral so this was all stressfull. We had to take the old cushions for the outdoor furniture out off the garage and cover with blankets for our Celebration of Life gathering. There were still 5 bins of stinky garbage in the back. Blake tried but getting the property together was tough. I think compensation was in order. The kitchen was poorly appointed and cupboards dirty.

Mouse droppings in kitchen drawers. Lots. In almost every drawer. Some new. Some old. (See earlier reviews.)
We contacted the owners first night about bed sheets having crumbs/debris/hair/crusty unknown spots.
Cool old house that simply needs a deep cleaning.

Our family of 6 gathered here for our Christmas get-together. There was plenty of room for everybody. The house is a lovely historic home and had touches of Christmas decor in every room. Beds were comfortable and kitchen had plenty of dishes and cookware. We had a couple of inusual needs come up during our stay and Blake was easy to reach by phone. Thanks for a nice stay!

Decided to spend the Christmas Holiday in Minneapolis with our Daughter who works in health care in Minneapolis and had to work on Christmas Eve Day, so would not be able to come home to Wisconsin. The House was very cozy, comfortable despite the winter blizzard and bitter cold. This is a house full of Old World Character. We spent all our time time at the house visiting, cooking good food and just enjoying our time together as a Family. Even our Family Dogs, Norm and Rosie enjoyed their stay. This was the place to do it!! Easy to get area groceries at a variety of supermarkets. Blake, our Host was absolutely responsive to our concerns and questions during the whole time. Would rent Again!! Todd

We didn’t stay much at the house. It is an older house, but updated. Clean. I would guess you might not like it if you want to sit around watching TV. Nice back yard. Close to everything

The owners were very respectful and fast with communication. I did not want to write a negative review because the owners were extremely nice and flexible while booking was happening. However, after our stay I thought it was shady to hear from the owner to give them good ratings on Vrbo if we were satisfied with our stay and if we were not, to not write a review and instead message them about our concerns. The owner stated that negative reviews affect the income. I thought this was shady because if you want to be a good host, you should be able to receive feedback that will help you be a better host for future customers and with the affect to the income, they would be inclined to address these issues! I still chose not to write a review and instead, sent them a detailed message about finding mice in the house. I saw a total of two and one even ran across my feet. I was horrified and extremely disgusted. When I expressed this to the owner, she admitted to having heard these complaints before from previous customers but has never seen them herself to actually deem that there were any mice present and left it at that. This was not handled well at all. So here I am, writing a review, hoping that the owner will finally feel inclined to hire some rodent control for the house now.

Me and some family friends booked this lovely stay for New Years! And it was perfect! This stay was super last minute and me and the host were having complications with the Virbo/airbnb but everything worked out great! I can’t stress enough how AMAZING AND WONDERFUL Blake was. The communication and dedication to making the stay work was outstanding.
The house was beautiful. Everyone loved the vintage old style. There were more than enough appliances and everything worked in the kitchen. The stained glass windows in the living room were beautiful in the morning! Overall amazing stay and lovely host.
