About this property

Victorian Modern, on the Mississippi River

Beautiful, remodeled Victorian / Modern home with open floor plan.
The Mississippi River is your backyard right in Minneapolis. 3 queen bedrooms and a 4th pullout bed in the common room. 10 minute drive to downtown Minneapolis.
We've been a super host on other platforms since 2015 with hundreds of 5 star reviews. We've always enjoyed having guests at our one of a kind 1880's Victorian home with modern additions. One of only six houses in the Twin Cities right on the river. Relax in the river room with a beautiful bent wood solarium, fireplace and river view. Enjoy the dock for sunsets, downtown views, nature and the colorful Lowry Bridge. A rare historic home we like to call "country in the city".
A buzzing restaurant district. Within a few blocks are 4 restaurants, a brew pub, and coffee shops. The Sample Room restaurant is 2 doors south.
Near Twins, Timberwolves, Vikings, US Bank stadium, Walker Art Center, Guthrie Theater, 1st Avenue, night life, art galleries, live music, cinemas, hiking trails, brew pubs, kayak and bike rentals.
The space:
A spacious, open layout with private rooms, pocket doors, leaded glass, original art, beautiful light and modern furnishings. We've hosted 1 or 2 guests, families, friends for small gatherings, and many business travelers.
Guest access
This is a large duplex. We live on the second floor if you have questions. You have the entire private first floor: fully equipped kitchen, river room with solarium, living room which includes a 4th comfortable queen fold out. Two bedrooms with pocket doors are on the first floor along with a third bedroom on the second floor via a staircase that we do not share with guests. Your private entrance is a sliding glass door on the river-side. The back patio has a table, 6 chairs and gas grill. There's also a side porch so there's plenty of room for gatherings or hanging outside to enjoy views of the Mississippi river.
Our large modular space and huge backyard has been used for special events, family reunions, retreats and weddings. Please ask about your event and we can negotiate a price.
We hope you'll enjoy your river home.

Nice urban neighborhood
The house is an older home in need of some updates and maintenance. The interior is charming but there is some artwork on the walls that is inappropriate for younger children. The location is a short walk to a bread shop, coffee and brew pub. We also walked our dog on a path along the river which was great. Guests are asked to park on the “safe” street. The neighborhood may be low crime, but there is a lot of traffic going 45 mph including semi trucks out front. There are plenty of spaces in the back to accommodate the VRBO guests and the upstairs renters but they are filled with old/unused vehicles (incl. a boat). The owner needs to decide what the purpose of this house is going to be, a place for guests or a place to store their possessions. It should not be both!

We had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect for our weekend plans, perfect spot if you're planning on going to a show at The Fillmore. It was refreshing to have a space so homey and lived in where we could make outselves right at home. We hope to visit again soon!

Would not recommend
Never actually made it to the property, so this is about my experience with the host. Had to cancel my reservation on the day of check in due to a death of an immediate family member and the host refused to provide a refund. I had to fight for a days for even a partial refund. Was just referred to their cancellation policy. Said she would “see what she could do,” which is literally anything she wants as any refunds/cancellations are at the discretion of the host per VRBO policy. I only received a partial refund, or even a response, after I contacted VRBO support.I can understand this is a business, but life happens and she couldn’t even be bothered to treat me like a human being.

Perfect spot for our wedding weekend!
My (now) husband and I stayed here for our wedding weekend and it was absolutely perfect! The house is adorable and well taken care of. We loved the built in stereo system to play old records and CDs throughout the house. The view of the river was beautiful! I got ready for the wedding here and the lighting and space were so great to have a few people around. We are hoping to spend anniversaries here in the future! Big bonus was meeting the owners and their sweet dog, Poe. They were super kind humans and left us a celebratory bottle of wine for our wedding!

Perfect Place for a Family Gathering
We rented this location for a Thanksgiving gathering with our family that lives in the area, and we couldn’t have asked for a better space. The kitchen was well-equipped for our purposes, there was plenty of space for activities, and the three bedrooms were all more than cozy enough. We will keep this spot in mind if we ever return to the Twin Cities for something similar in the future.

What a cozy place!
We had a such great time. The location was perfect for getting to events at U of M. Very comfortable beds. Loved the fireplace, the light, the view. Decor was so thoughtful and hip. It was fun to be in the space. We invited friends for dinner because we wanted to spend more time there rather than go out. Thank you for a great stay!

River walks and Art
This was exactly what we were looking for to cozily spend a few days. We enjoyed being by the water, walking distance from artist studios and galleries, and walking trails along the river. Having a fireplace for the fire crisp fall evenings was a highlight, and we were pleased with the kitchen amenities as we enjoy cooking.

Weekend wedding in Minneapolis
Traveled with our young adult children to Minneapolis for a wedding. Very unique VRBO! Walking distance to several restaurants. 3rd bedroom upstairs in dormer was a little warm and may be a no go for some in hot summer months - since rest of home is cooled with window AC, our son chose to sleep on futon on main level. Owner found a set of AirPods we left behind, messaged immediately, and returned promptly which was very kind.

About the host

Hosted by Isabelle Harder

Host profile image
I am from the Netherlands and have lived in the US for over 20 years. My husband and I work in the film and music industry. We love traveling, live music, cinema, gatherings with friends, and boating from our dock on the Mississippi. Let us know if you are looking for interesting tips about our neighborhood or Minneapolis.

Why they chose this property

Northeast Minneapolis is the heart of a vibrant arts district. The Mississippi river defines our neighborhood with several parks, kayaking, fishing, geese, blue herons, bald eagles and beautiful sunsets right next to the skyscrapers of downtown. Our neighborhood is very progressive and open to all, with locally owned businesses, restaurants, brew pubs, coffee shops, live venues and art galleries.

What makes this property unique

We are 1 of only 6 homes right on the Mississippi River in the Twin Cities. Our beautiful 1880's Victorian home still has the original wrought iron fence. Inside history flows into modern with walls of wood and floor to ceiling glass offering relaxing river views. Our queen beds are new and very comfortable. The open layout includes designer furniture and original art. Our expansive yard has majestic trees on three large terraces that lead to the river.
