Saint Paul, Minnesota
Our home is within walking distance of the MN State Fairgrounds and Como Park! Perfect if you are a fan of the fair or have a wedding/event at the Como Conservatory.
This space doubles as a photography studio and has tons of natural light as well as surfaces/backgrounds for all your photo needs.
Each room has a different theme, and we highly recommend taking a soak in the clawfoot tub.
This home was built in 1900, so it has the old charm and woodwork, but AC/Heat and modern amenities.
The space
Enter through the front door and lounge in the SKY Chair or on the vintage couch on our 3 season porch. When you head inside, the living room/dining room will be to your left, the kitchen will be straight ahead.
The living room has a couch, 2 chairs, an electric fireplace, and a TV. We've stocked some games and coloring books for your enjoyment as well.
The dining room can double as a great meeting space. There's a desk with wireless charging, a "marble" table to enjoy your meals and cocktails, and access to the deck through the big bay doors.
You can enjoy your coffee and look at the window from the breakfast nook or sit at the kitchen island.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms with different themes. The "Dark" room has warm brown tones with a skylight and a modern chandelier. It's the biggest of the three rooms and has a queen memory foam mattress.
The "White" room is boho-themed with cream-colored bedding and crouched art. The walk-in closet has extra pillows and lots of room to store your things. The decorative bedframe holds a queen memory foam mattress.
The "Bold" room has a full bed and a velvet chaize lounge. The pops of color and textures are fun and playful.
You can park in the street with ease or in the driveway at the back of the home which you can access from the alley.
Notes for parents with kids:
We would like to think our home is accessible for children. We have an infant of our own and have the following supplies for those under 2 stored in the closet of the "Bold" room (the one with the teal velvet curtains).
- Pack and Play
- Books
- A few toys
- Bouncy Chair
There is kid-friendly shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the bathroom and a kid towel as well.
There are some sharp corners in the home, and we have not child-proofed the house. But in the kitchen cupboard above the stove, we do have childproofing supplies like socket covers, corner covers, and stove covers for you to use.
In the desk, there are coloring books and other creative supplies.
If you need a high chair or other supplies, please send us a message before your stay so we can stock them for you!
TV: It is a ROKU TV, please add and remove your own accounts. Xfinity Plus is also available for all guests. Remotes are in the TV stand. More instructions are in the back of the manual.
Extra batteries:
We use rechargeable batteries. Batteries and charger are in the desk in the dining area.
Cleaning supplies:
All cleaning supplies can be found under the sink (if you have children, we moved these to a higher cabinet).
The clear bottle has an environmentally safe, non-toxic, cleaning formula in it for all surfaces.
Norwex microfiber cloths can be found in the drawer. The “Enviro” cloth is for all surfaces. The Window cloth is for windows. The Stainless steel is for stainless steel.
Guest access
Entire home except for the basement.
Other things to note
During the weekdays, our basement is home to a t-shirt production company. They have their own entrance and will not disturb your space.
Was a nice jump off point for a weekend in the twin cities. Clean, all the amenities you need.
So convenient to the fair! I ran over several times for more food. Thank you!
This was an amazing experience, we were impressed with the location being very close to the state fair. It was a beautiful home with many features including an outside fireplace which was enjoyed every night we stayed. The property was spacious and clean with clear instructions for arriving and departing.
Host were very responsive. The home was very clean and well kept. Convenient location as well!
Easy check in, fast response and the perfect location bc of the many restaurants available near by.
We had a great time staying at this house! The location was great and allowed us to access most of the Twin Cities. The house was exactly as advertised - the beds were very comfortable!
We had an amazing stay at Angela and Thomas’s place. Their house was as listed and is simply adorable. It was comfortable, clean, and we felt at home in their place. Angela and Thomas were really great hosts and easy-going. We would definitely stay here again when we’re next in town!
Great location, house was clean, and location was great. Nelson's deli is a must try. Como Zoo (free admission) is down the block. Highly recommend
This is a beautiful VRBO. Excellent Decor. Easy access to the Twin City offerings. Very close to Como Park which is great. Would definitely stay here again
The proximity to the stay fair allowed our family to get away, but still be close enough as needed.
Great location, comfortable beds, updated furniture and appliances in a vintage home.
Great place for our multi generation group of adults. It's conveniently located near the fairgrounds and Como Zoo.
I, my husband, and our two year old daughter vacationed at this property for a long weekend getaway. The home was comfortable and clean, and anything we needed to use was easy to find. The hosts provided us with child-proofing supplies if we needed them and also set up the travel bed (pack-n-play) for our daughter (who isn’t quite ready for a regular bed yet). The hosts were wonderful to communicate with and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet. Although we drove to the Como Zoo, we definitely could have walked there! Every place we visited during our stay was easy to get to - Mall of America, Snake Discovery, MN Largest Candy Store, Como Zoo, and grocery stores. This was our first time renting a vacation home so we were a little trepidatious, but our hosts and their property made our stay comfortable, inviting, and so easy. We had such a great experience we may find it hard to ever stay at a hotel again! Thank you to the Knox family for being gracious hosts!
