Victorian Modern, on the Mississippi River

Beautiful, remodeled Victorian / Modern home with open floor plan.
The Mississippi River is your backyard right in Minneapolis. 3 queen bedrooms and a 4th pullout bed in the common room. 10 minute drive to downtown Minneapolis.
We've been a super host on other platforms since 2015 with hundreds of 5 star reviews. We've always enjoyed having guests at our one of a kind 1880's Victorian home with modern additions. One of only six houses in the Twin Cities right on the river. Relax in the river room with a beautiful bent wood solarium, fireplace and river view. Enjoy the dock for sunsets, downtown views, nature and the colorful Lowry Bridge. A rare historic home we like to call "country in the city".
A buzzing restaurant district. Within a few blocks are 4 restaurants, a brew pub, and coffee shops. The Sample Room restaurant is 2 doors south.
Near Twins, Timberwolves, Vikings, US Bank stadium, Walker Art Center, Guthrie Theater, 1st Avenue, night life, art galleries, live music, cinemas, hiking trails, brew pubs, kayak and bike rentals.
The space:
A spacious, open layout with private rooms, pocket doors, leaded glass, original art, beautiful light and modern furnishings. We've hosted 1 or 2 guests, families, friends for small gatherings, and many business travelers.
Guest access
This is a large duplex. We live on the second floor if you have questions. You have the entire private first floor: fully equipped kitchen, river room with solarium, living room which includes a 4th comfortable queen fold out. Two bedrooms with pocket doors are on the first floor along with a third bedroom on the second floor via a staircase that we do not share with guests. Your private entrance is a sliding glass door on the river-side. The back patio has a table, 6 chairs and gas grill. There's also a side porch so there's plenty of room for gatherings or hanging outside to enjoy views of the Mississippi river.
Our large modular space and huge backyard has been used for special events, family reunions, retreats and weddings. Please ask about your event and we can negotiate a price.
We hope you'll enjoy your river home.

Perfect spot for our wedding weekend!
My (now) husband and I stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was absolutely perfect! The house is adorable and well taken care of. We loved the built in stereo system to play old records and CDs throughout the house. The view of the river was beautiful! I got ready for the wedding here and the lighting and space were so great to have a few people around. We are hoping to spend anniversaries here in the future! Big bonus was meeting the owners and their sweet dog, Poe. They were super kind humans and left us a celebratory bottle of wine for our wedding!

Perfect Place for a Family Gathering
We rented this location for a Thanksgiving gathering with our family that lives in the area, and we couldn’t have asked for a better space. The kitchen was well-equipped for our purposes, there was plenty of space for activities, and the three bedrooms were all more than cozy enough. We will keep this spot in mind if we ever return to the Twin Cities for something similar in the future.

What a cozy place!
We had a such great time. The location was perfect for getting to events at U of M. Very comfortable beds. Loved the fireplace, the light, the view. Decor was so thoughtful and hip. It was fun to be in the space. We invited friends for dinner because we wanted to spend more time there rather than go out. Thank you for a great stay!

The owners shared many of their personal items (books, games, art, etc.) that made the stay even more comfortable. The beds were great. The area very interesting and near the venue where we attended a wedding.

River walks and Art
This was exactly what we were looking for to cozily spend a few days. We enjoyed being by the water, walking distance from artist studios and galleries, and walking trails along the river. Having a fireplace for the fire crisp fall evenings was a highlight, and we were pleased with the kitchen amenities as we enjoy cooking.

Weekend wedding in Minneapolis
Traveled with our young adult children to Minneapolis for a wedding. Very unique VRBO! Walking distance to several restaurants. 3rd bedroom upstairs in dormer was a little warm and may be a no go for some in hot summer months - since rest of home is cooled with window AC, our son chose to sleep on futon on main level. Owner found a set of AirPods we left behind, messaged immediately, and returned promptly which was very kind.

Family & State Fair Visit
Fantastic place to stay. The house was spacious and comfortable for 5 adults, including 1 in a wheelchair. With a short ramp, the space is wheelchair accessible if you don't need an accessible bathroom. The backyard was peaceful and beautiful, with a great view of the river. The hosts and their dog Poe were wonderful and responsive. We look forward to staying here again when visiting family.

A group of us came to the Twin Cities for a two day show. The location was close to downtown and the venue. It was super easy to navigate. Great local restaurants. Isabelle & Phillip were great hosts. Their place was amazing with the decor and it was right on the river. The place was beautiful.

Nice Location on the Mississippi River
We loved the view from the river at night of the Minneapolis skyline and the Lowrey Bridge. However, we were not aware that the houseboat that is moored at the dock was being rented out so when there were guests on board, we were not comfortable intruding on their time to use the dock to enjoy the sunset and fish even though the hosts said we could. Out of 8 nights, we only got to enjoy the dock 3 times. The location was nice - close to small parks and restaurants. The hosts were friendly and quick to respond to any requests. They stay upstairs while we rented the 1st floor so they were around a lot as they lived there as well. The parking was on the street which was a bit busier that we expected and sometimes we had to park a few houses down the street. Overall the house was spacious and had a great view of the river.

Funky and Cool Space
Went to see old friends in MPLS and wanted to bring my teen along to check out PRIDE week and other touristy stuff. Our hosts were so nice and made our stay very comfortable. They had great suggestions for where to eat and shop conveniently posted. The place is cool and arty and that view of the Mississippi River is beautiful. Plus they have the sweetest dog who likes to hang out. My only suggestion is more hooks in the bathroom to hang towels or hooks in the bedrooms. And I need to get bed pillows like the ones there because they were so comfy. I slept better than I've slept in ages.
