We had a wonderful stay at Heidi's. She's thought of everything! The cottage really felt like a home away from home for my family with anything we might need for our stay. Our favorite spot was the screened porch on the upper floor overlooking the yard -- so peaceful and relaxing! Highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the Twin Cities.

Nice weekend stay

Great house and easy check in! There was lots of room to sit, chat, and have a nice girls weekend in the twin cities. Plenty of street parking. Only thing is that the faucets were difficult to turn off completely, both the kitchen and bathroom sink faucets leaked slightly.

This was by far our favorite place we've ever stayed. It was the coziest home with so much character and its perfect for a family vacay. It fully matched the online description/photos. It was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with all of the utensils, dishes, spices and equipment you need to cook. Beds were super comfy. It has a huge backyard. It was really close to a grocery store. The host was quick to respond and check in was a breeze. Highly recommend staying here!!

Great week in St. Paul

Beautiful house near all the activities we were interested in. Lots of family owned restaurants in the area, and close to downtown St. Paul. The only thing I would have liked, is dressers in the 2 bedrooms. When staying for a week I like to put my clothes away.
