My stay at Birchwood's guesthouse with three friends for a quick vacation in Minneapolis was great! The house is beautiful and spacious — exactly as the pictures show — and there are so many lovely old details. There were plenty of towels, comfy beds and living spaces, great kitchen amenities, and some goodies from Birchwood Café next door. (I even ended up buying a bag of beans to bring back to New York!) While the house isn't exactly in ~central Minneapolis~ it was very easily accessible by bike (there's a bike share right outside, and it's close to a beautiful greenway we rode to breakfast in Uptown one morning) and by Uber to farther flung parts of the city. Tracy left us a list of recommendations around the city, which was very helpful. We checked out a great brewery upon arrival, which was a lot of fun! She also let us check in a little early after our flight, and we were able to store our bags at the café before our evening flight so we could spend our last day exploring Minneapolis. There are some old, narrow stairs in the house that lead up to the bedrooms (as described) — not a problem for us, but might be an issue for others. Tracy and her team were so accommodating — if I'm ever back in Minneapolis, would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks, Tracy!
