Quiet and Modern Designed Cottage in St Paul

Modern Cozy Getaways makes old homes have cool vibes! This is a completely remodeled and tastefully furnished St. Paul cottage with a modern, warm, and serene vibe. We’ve restored this side by side duplex and preserved many of the original features from the1920’s. Our inspiration was the muted tones and minimalist comfort of a Mojave dessert villa with vintage and modern wicker, rattan, bamboo and gold furniture, lighting, and fixtures. Come and relax in this private neighborhood in the perfect St. Paul location.

The Space

The Modern and Serene Cottage is a fully renovated 1200 sq. ft. space with 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath. The living area comes with a comfortable Room and Board couch and a sitting area perfect for relaxing, watching the large screen Smart TV, or reading under the light of a modern arc light.

The kitchen has been completely renovated in tan and sand tones with stainless steel appliances, open shelving, and beautiful grey and white quartz countertops. It is loaded with everything you need to make a meal at home and has a coffee bar with drip or French press options. The dining room features a wicker pendant light, mid-century rattan glass top table, and comfortable modern seating.

The bedrooms are comfortable and quiet with new award-winning mattresses. The lower bedroom has a queen bed with the highly reviewed Helix Dusk mattress, voted one of the most popular mattresses for comfort and support. A sliding glass door opens up onto a cute deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee in the back yard. The room also has a modern Danish desk and accent chair where you’ll be able to work remotely, read a book, or write in your journal. Quiet, perfect, and comfortable.

Up 3 small stairs is the second bedroom, secluded and very quiet with a king bed featuring the Bear mattress which was voted great for athletes and has modern cooling technology for restful sleep.

The bathroom has been transformed into a spa like gem with aqua subway tiles, octagon tile floors, and gold fixtures.

Guest Access

There is ample parking in the front of the cottage. The neighborhood is beautiful and quiet with the tree covered Summit Avenue a few blocks away. There are a lot of restaurants and food shops within walking distance of the cottage and there is easy access to main highways into both Minneapolis and other parts of St. Paul.

Nice stay in St. Paul

This house was the perfect size and location for my son and I. We appreciated arriving to a clean house that was easy to find. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed. We walked to local restaurants, Whole Foods, and the Ganglehoff Center. We would stay again.

Short but lovely stay

A friend and I spent the weekend while attending a college reunion. We weren't at the property much of the time, but while there found it to have everything we needed. It was very comfortable, with generous fresh coffee supplies and nice smelling soaps and shampoo. The best might have been sitting on the little deck out back looking up at the canopy of big, beautiful mature trees engulfing us, and listening to the breeze blow through their leaves. So peaceful!

Great place in St Paul with everything we needed

In town to visit Macalaster College with our daughter. This cute duplex is perfectly located to walk /short drive to campus. Easy access to a Whole Foods and many restaurants within walking distance. Beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed for making a complete meal easily. Easy to connect wifi. Loved all the quirky photos! High recommend!

Great stay

The place was clean and quiet. It was stocked with everything we needed. About a 15 min drive to Mall of America and plenty of restaurants and amenities in the area. Listing didn’t make it clear that it was half of a duplex with the other side occupied, but it was no problem. Appreciated the door code being changed for our stay and locks in place for safety. Property manager was very responsive.

Lovely cottage in charming St. Paul neighborhood

Mini vacay

Really enjoyed our stay in St Paul. The property was adorable and so clean. Loved the neighborhood! We were no more than 30 minutes from anything we chose to do (usually like 5-10 min)! The property owner responded promptly when I messaged. Overall would book again!

Great trip to St. Paul

I was in town visiting my child at Macalester College. The house was in a convenient location to the college. It was clean and warm on a rather cold weekend. If it is available the next time I am in town, I will stay there again.

Perfect home base

My friend and I stayed here for a long weekend. The place was just as advertised— very cute, comfortable and clean. We could walk to a few shops and restaurants. We didn’t cook much but found everything we needed. Kitchen seemed well stocked. The beds were comfy and we enjoyed sitting on the back patio with our cups of coffee each morning to plan our day. Would highly recommend and would be happy to stay here again.

A Perfect Spot in our old Neighborhood, with Quick Response from our Host when Needed

This is one of the best bnb's my husband and I have stayed at in our travels. The apartment was beautifully furnished and Christina responded quickly when we had a question. The location was also perfect for us, in the neighborhood where we used to live, on a quiet street, but just a short walk to shops and public transit connections to pretty much anywhere in the Twin Cities and inner suburbs. I hope this apartment will be available next time we visit. If so, we'll definitely stay there again.

Clean, bright and spacious duplex in Saint Paul neighborhood.

We enjoyed our 4-day stay in this side-by-side duplex that appears as a single home in a quiet residential neighborhood. Easy street parking and up about 20 stone stairs to an enclosed shared entryway. Once inside the key-coded door, the accommodations were private and quiet with a large living room and dining area, and a large well-appointed kitchen. Enjoyed the sliding door from the bedroom to a wood deck. Our host was responsive and accommodating.
