My son & I stayed here because he had hockey at U of M. It was a 10 minute (back road) drive so convenient for back and forth to the rink.
Steph (the property manager who lives there) is awesome, very friendly and helpful!
Chris the owner is approachable and friendly too. He is constantly making improvement to the property.
Our room was spacious. The beds were clean and comfortable. There wasn’t a dresser or closet in there so Steph let me move a small table in there from the kitchen to put some of our stuff on. Our room was located by the kitchen. It was also quiet tho we did have the air conditioner or fan running most of the time. But still all the guests are respectful of each other.
The kitchen was great and had what we needed (toaster, coffee pot, stove, pots and pans, dishes, silverware, microwave, cutting board, knives.)
The bathrooms were clean. The shower wasn’t a strong super jet, but a good shower flow (better than some hotels I’ve been at). And I didn’t get scolded or freezing if someone else was using water in the house. The towels provided were large and super soft.
We used the back steps most often because that way was closest to our room. They are old, a little steep and not the most eye appealing but they are solid. It is an area Chris talked about improving.

It is somewhat of a maze to get from the front of the house to the back on each floor. First impression was a little sketchy, but then it became comfortable.
The neighborhood was nice. I felt safe there.
I met many of the other guests staying there. All were friendly, had great conversation with and I found interesting why each were there. Would have never gotten that if we stayed at a hotel.
The house is old (like 1910’s) so it does have the character of hard wood floors on the main level, big staircase in the front, large trim around the doors which have been painted over many times) which gives a sense of old yet with new improvements that are constantly being done.
We did use the washer and dryer in the basement. Those steps are old and steep and the ceiling is low but the washer and dryer are new and worked very well.
If we need to be in the Minneapolis area again, we will definitely stay there again.
