About this property

Hidden Northfield Cottage

About this space
A private, peaceful space 2 blocks from St. Olaf College and less than 1 mile from downtown and Carleton College.
Our location is convenient, cozy and unique being an old ginseng farm, the duplex has a rural feel and is tucked away from the street.

Enjoy a patio space to grill at while soaking in the outdoors. We have a fully equipped kitchen, but the Ole Store, a Northfield favorite, is just down the block.
Dogs are allowed when added on the reservation and pet fee has been paid for.
The space
Best suited for adults or families with older children but all ages of children are welcome. (Adults must be 25 or older to book.) You know best what works for your family!

The only bathroom is on the first floor and the bedrooms are upstairs.
Guest access
You have access to parking and lawn, separate basement laundry, and a patio.

Lovely little cottage

This was a delightful little cottage, true to description. I don’t think anyone was staying in the other side of the duplex when we were there so that wasn’t an issue. It is within walking distance of St Olaf and the Ole Store Resturant and Brick Oven Bakery were both walkable and recommended! Lots of birding just outside on the patio. Really appreciated that we could stream our accounts on the TV. Appreciated the coffee and tea selection. Laundry was appreciated! Will definitely be back!

Cozy Cottage

This place sure had the cozy vibe going on! Very cute and comfortable little cottage. I felt it had everything we needed for a quick girls weekend in the adorable Northfield town! I even tried some of the sweet tea from Jerusalem (what a fun unexpected treat)!

Stylish jewel box

The Hidden Cottage is so tastefully decorated and thoughtfully appointed, and an ideal location from which to visit our daughter during St Olaf’s Christmasfest. I will definitely hope to stay again at this charming cottage duplex unit. The property is compact, with very steep stairs to the two bedrooms. Something to know, as the stairs were a bit of a worry with my 85 year old father who stayed with us.

Beautiful and quiet

Very comfortable stay while visiting Carleton, everything easy. Bonus that there were no heavy scents used for cleaning (I am sensitive to fragrance). Glad we stayed here and hope to visit again

Cozy hidewaya

We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere the house provided. Also a happy surprise that was unmentioned in the listing was the basket of old books and toys in the basement, our boys loved curling up on the couch in the little downtime we had to read Dr. Seuss books.
