About this property

Mackenna's Place · Heated Garage | Great Location | Family Friendly

Summary:
Relax in our newly renovated 3 bedroom 2 bath home. We have created a modern and inviting atmosphere that will make you feel right at home.

We are located in a quite and established neighborhood, close to parks and bike trails, in an up-and-coming part of town. Our home offers the perfect balance between serenity and convenience.

As a local host I would love to share my favorite eats and attractions, so shoot me a message!

The Space:
Welcome to our newly renovated South Fargo home! The home is located in a quiet and established neighborhood, close to parks, in a up-and-coming part of town.

The home is just minutes away from a variety of local attractions, including The Lights on Sheyenne, Suite Shots, Scheels Arena, Sanford and Essentia hospitals and West Acres shopping center.

Sports fans will also appreciate the close proximity to hockey arenas, baseball fields, and numerous golf courses.

Whether you want to unwind on the couch, try your hand at a board game or play a round of cards, we have something for everyone. Sit back, relax and enjoy your time away from home.

UPSTAIRS LIVING ROOM:
You will be greeted by an open concept living room adjacent to the kitchen and dining room. A large window and patio door provide an abundance of natural light. The living room is furnished with a leather sofa and oversized chairs as well as a 55 inch flat-screen TV equipped with all your streaming services. Extra blankets are provided to snuggle in and watch a movie or to pull out a book and relax.

DINING ROOM:
The dining room is adjacent to the living room and features a simple yet elegant dining space that seats 4 people. Two additional dining seats can be found at the bar overlooking the refreshed kitchen cabinets and decor. A highchair is provided and, when not in use, is located in the master bedroom closet upstairs.

KITCHEN:
The kitchen is located at the top of the stairs as you enter the home. It is fully stocked with ample pots and pans, baking sheets, a crock pot, cutting boards, a blender, toaster, and a variety of cooking and baking utensils.

There’s a Keurig duo coffee maker that offers the option to make a traditional pot of coffee or to go the simple route of picking a K-cup. Our coffee bar includes coffee grounds, a variety of K-cups, sugar packets, and coffee creamer. A handheld milk frother is also provided.

BEDROOMS:
Each bedroom includes extra blankets and pillows for comfort. All bedrooms are outfitted with blackout blinds so there are no early wake ups on vacation. Phone-charging stations are next to every bed so there’s no need to hunt for an outlet at night. A pack-n-play is provided for free and is located in the closet of the primary bedroom which is located upstairs.

The primary bedroom is located upstairs. It features a stylish board and batten wall, king bed, full length mirror, walk-in closet, ceiling fan, Roku television, designated work space, and access to the main bathroom.

The second bedroom is located in the basement. It provides a cozy atmosphere complete with a queen bed, Roku television, and spacious closet.

The third bedroom is also located in the basement. It is furnished with two single beds, a Roku television, and a spacious closet.

BATHROOMS:
This home has two full bathrooms with all new fixtures in 2023. Both bathrooms are fully stocked with bath towels, wash cloths, hand towels, and makeup towels. They also come fully supplied with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.

The primary bathroom is located upstairs across the hall from the primary bedroom and has a large garden tub. The second bathroom is located in the basement.

DOWNSTAIRS FAMILY ROOM:
With plenty of seating for everyone, the family room is a wonderful place to unwind and relax. The comfortable L-shaped sectional sits across from a 50 inch Roku television that can be used to sign in to any streaming services.

OUTDOOR SPACE:
Walking out of the sliding glass patio door via the dining room you’ll find an expansive deck featuring a patio dining set. A propane grill is included which is perfect for a summer barbecue.

Guest Access:
Enjoy full access to the house during your stay, including the two-stall garage. There is a closet located in the basement we keep locked for cleaning supplies. We also keep the door under the stairs locked as it houses the water heater and sump pump, but other than that the house is all yours!

The Neighborhood:
The neighborhood is quiet and established. There are walking trails nearby as well as two parks.

Just off of 52nd Ave South you will find yourself just minutes away from a plethora of area attractions, Sanford and Essentia Hospitals, interstate, shopping centers, restaurants, bars and so much more.

Getting Around:
You’re welcome to bring your car(s) and park in the two-stall garage as well as in the driveway. Additional parking is available on the side street, but it is first come first served and shared with the neighbors.

Uber and Lyft are both available options for ride share.

There is also public transportation available in the form of busing and taxi services.

Other Things to Note:
PARKING:
You may use the garage for your parking needs. It is fully heated during the winter months so we ask that you keep the garage door closed at all times.

There is room for additional parking in the driveway. Please note that we do share this space with the neighbor attached to us, so please only utilize our half of the unit for parking.

If additional parking is needed you are able to park along the side the road on 50th avenue.

SECURITY CAMERAS:
There are two exterior security cameras on the property. One facing the side street off the front door and one facing the driveway. These are for us to verify cleaners and handymen have prepared the property for you.

Interaction with Guests:
I am here to provide the best experience I can. I am available before, during, and after your stay. You can reach me via the app or text message.

Thanksgiving week

We were very pleased with how clean this home was. It was in a great location, and also had everything we needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner. The host was great to work with, and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be staying here again as our daughter is only a freshman at the university.

Brilliant place - 3 bedrooms

This is a gorgeous house with 3 bedrooms. The beds are so comfortable! White linens, which I always like to see. Bathrooms work great. Kitchen is well-stocked with pans, cutlery etc. The house is wonderfully clean - I would literally book this house for my mother, it’s so new and so clean, and in a lovely neighborhood.

Baseball Tournament

I came with my niece and her friend for my bonus son and their boyfriends baseball tournament in Moorhead. We each had our own room which was nice since the hotel the boys staying out we would have had to get separate rooms. Very nice, comfortable wish we spent more time there to enjoy the home. Would rent again!

Very clean and comfortable

The home was perfect for our recent stay in Fargo. All of the comforts of home were provided. We found the beds and bedding to be very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed for some light meal preparations. We really enjoyed the location- close to Sanford Hospital. The host was easy to communicate with. Our favorite part was the provided games and the soft blankets for relaxing on the couch. Would definitely book this home again!

Quite the Gem 💎

We recently traveled to Fargo for my brothers retirement ceremony from the USAF. We stayed a long weekend in Mackenna’s Place. We ended up arriving super early and was able to reach out to Melissa to inquire about early check-in. This unit met all of my families expectations. The space was so bright and welcoming. It had all we needed to make our stay quite enjoyable. We would definitely book again for any upcoming visits.

Lovely Time

Went to visit with friends and play in snow but no snow. The home was wonderful and the split level gave a getaway escape when needed. The kitchen had tons of gadgets and pans even toddler settings. Nicely decorated and gave a calm feeling. The location is good everything was about a 10min drive. There is a cute play area right down the street walkable. Quite neighborhood. Definitely a great stay.

Lovely Home

Four of us were visiting our aunt in Fargo and instead of getting two hotel rooms like we usually do, we choose VRBO. We won't go back. Beautifully decorated home with all the comforts we needed. Kitchen was well equipped and bedding and towels plush. We'll be back this summer to enjoy the deck!
