Kathi was such a great host and very accommodating. We were running late the day of our check-in day, but Kathi was so understanding and flexible. She even went above and beyond when we finally arrived and walked us through the history of the house, the names of the rooms, talked a little about her and her family and made us feel completely at home. The rooms were as spacious, warm, and lovely as they are in the pictures; and you get modern appliances while the integrity of the house is still preserved through the wall fixtures, the gorgeous and huge fireplaces, the creaky floors, and the furniture. If you are looking for a quiet place near the historical district of St. Paul, this is definitely it! And the books! If you are into reading or writing this is the perfect retreat for both as all spaces offer reading material or space to start a draft! It was great to be able to wake up to natural light in the morning, walk into the bathroom without freezing (due to the heated floors), and walk into the large shower space to take a hot shower. Then, being able to start the day with a drink of choice by walking into the nook, a little station set-up up with an array of in-house baked items, as well as mugs to sip coffee, tea, or hot coco. And if you have leftovers from a night out in the city, there's even a mini-fridge! Kathi and her family have thought of everything to make your stay stress-free and amazing! The only complaint we had was not being able to stay longer.
