Charming Cottage with Hot Tub, Fire Pit, & Wooded Backyard

Welcome to our home away from home!

This family friendly charming cottage is less than 10 minutes from downtown St. Paul. You can stay here and enjoy the wooded backyard with bonfires and relaxing in the hot tub, or spend a night in Minnesota's capital city enjoying amazing restaurants, concerts, or any of the many festivals going on in the cities. We are off of the Gateway Trail, and many bike paths that lead all the way through the Twin Cities and to many of the Lakes nearby.

The space: This private residence has kept all its historic charm and it is truly a treasure to be in the middle of Saint Paul and have a large wooded backyard.

Some conveniences you’ll enjoy:

-A quaint kitchen stocked with cooking supplies
- Dedicated desk and workspace
- Well thought I was sleeping accommodations
- A wooded backyard for kids to play an explorer
- A hot tub
- A fan operated fire pit that keeps your fire going and the smoke out of your eyes!
- outdoor deck with outdoor dining and egg chair
- A magical tree fort for children five and older (all children must be supervised by adults in the tree fort).
- Charming lights everywhere that make the home so cozy!
