Stay in a unique and original Old Town Hall with hardwood floors..

Stay in a unique and original Old Town Hall with hardwood floors and 16' tall ceilings. Each bedroom has a unique feel and the loft spaces are amazing.

The building is a converted 3/4 basketball court that has had bedrooms and bathrooms added. This building is set up for large or small groups with plenty of space to spread out. Handicap accessible with a lift in the garage for main floor access.

Includes Washer and dryer, wireless internet, modern kitchen, Jacuzzi tub in one of the bathrooms and a dining area large enough to feed everyone.

Located in SW Douglas County, MN there are over 20 lakes within 15 minutes and the Kensington Runestone Park is about 10 minutes away.

In the winter, Andes Tower Hills Ski Area is 15 minutes away and the DATA snowmobile trails (Douglas Area Trails Association) right on the edge of town.

The best!! What a great job in preserving this amazing building and the vision to make it a warm and welcoming place for any age group to stay. This was a wonderful place for our group of Brothers & Sister's and spouses to relax, play games and tell stories. They have it all from Kitchen to play equipment. We will be coming back!!!!! Thank you.

We spent the weekend with our parents, siblings, and their kids. The house was as shown in pics. Enough beds for everyone, well stocked kitchen, and the owners replied promptly when I had questions. Everyone was very happy with the house and you can tell the owners have put thought into the place and what people will need.

So much space and so much to do that we did not want to leave the place while there. Really enjoyed the air hockey, ping pong and other games, having separate bedrooms for everyone, a large kitchen, and overall a very unique place to stay. We look forward to staying here again in the future! Also, Kensington was a quaint little town but had everything we could hope to have for a small town (grocery store, post office, and other amenities). Awesome place!

This is a fantastic property for a large group. It has lots of space yet feels homey and cozy. There are lots of things to do from boardgames and video games to sledding in volleyball. The kitchen is well stocked with what you need to cook meals. The beds are comfortable.

This place had everything we needed! Host was very helpful in setting up extra tables and making sure all was ready to go when we arrived! Has an elevator and our 98 y/o grandma could get to the house no problem! Lots of toys to play with. Lots of things to keep teens organzied, Well stocked kitchen. Could use some gates for the stairs and catwalk if you have littles. Overall a great stay!

We had a girls trip and stayed at this unique property. It was exactly as described. Very roomy, tons of beds, plenty of seating for everyone and room to spread out. They had lots of games to keep us all busy. The house was very well stocked and there wasn't anything we needed that the host hadn't already supplied. Thank you Julie for letting us experience the town hall.
