About this property
The Freeman House – Historic Retreat | River Falls
Step into the historic 1908 Freeman House, where classic craftsmanship meets modern comfort. Leaded glass, warm woodwork, stainless appliances, luxury bedding, and inviting living spaces create a welcoming retreat. Just blocks from downtown, this home blends timeless charm with thoughtful amenities for a memorable stay.
Guests have full, private use of the main floor, which includes the bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining room, and fully stocked kitchen. The home blends historic character with modern upgrades such as stainless appliances, a fridge with an ice maker, comfortable contemporary furniture, and a large TV with surround sound. Luxury bedding, soft towels, and robes are provided for added comfort. Fine china is available for enjoying a special dinner in the dining room. Though the house is large, only the main level is used during guest stays. The upstairs is not accessible, but no one else occupies the home while guests are there. Guests may also enjoy the front porch along with access to the front and back yards.
Guests enjoy private access to the entire main level, including the living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, entry areas, and closets. The front porch and both the front and back yards are also available to enjoy. The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, utensils, bakeware, pantry basics, and dishes—including china place settings for more formal meals. The upstairs level is closed to guests, but no one occupies the home during your stay, ensuring a quiet and private experience.
Check-in is easy with a keypad code provided before arrival. While I’m away traveling during guest stays and no one else is on the property, I remain fully available through messaging for any questions, recommendations, or assistance. Communication is quick, flexible, and responsive, and I’m happy to support anything that helps make your stay more comfortable.
The home is a short walk from downtown River Falls with easy access to shops, restaurants, trails, and the Kinnickinnic River. Hudson and the Twin Cities are also an easy drive away.
In the kitchen you’ll find a reusable shopping bag with glass jars that guests are welcome to take to the River Falls Co-op grocery store downtown. The Co-op offers bulk spices, grains, and other pantry items, allowing you to fill the jars with as much or as little as you need for your stay.
A small library with books and games is also available for relaxing downtime, and the fully stocked kitchen makes it easy to cook or enjoy a special meal during your visit.
