Yes! First of all the home is amazing. It is a fabulous Victorian era house with a modern kitchen and is really well furnished and decorated. Second, the hostess answered every query of ours quickly and thoroughly. Third, the location was fabulous for hosting our large family for all our activities in the Twin Cities. Parking was a breeze despite the snowy weather.

I wish I could give a higher rating! Jill and Erin were absolutely phenomenal hosts. The property itself is one you should take time to enjoy. There is beautiful artwork in every room and any need you could possibly have has been met before your arrival. I cannot wait to go back and stay longer. Do not miss staying here if you need to go to Minneapolis/St Paul!

Perfect venue and location for a weekend wedding

We booked this for 10 of us for a wedding weekend. Everything was perfect where everyone had a comfortable bed and we loved the common gathering areas of the kitchen and family room where we enjoyed each other's company over coffee in the morning and wine at night. Jill was a great host. Very communicative and we could tell she put a lot of thought into the design and personal touches throughout the house. She even let us stay later than our check out to accommodate our later flights. And as a bonus is the artwork throughout the house. Location is awesome with several restaurants and shops within walking or short Uber distance. Highly recommend if you're looking for a venue for multiple folks.

Exceptional Family Reunion

House of heART 2 was the perfect setting as the center for our long overdue family reunion. While only 8 family members stayed at the home, we were joined during the days and evenings by 9 other family folks who lived nearby or stayed at hotels. (…and one night a young niece and nephew joined us with a sleepover !). We came from Kansas City, KS, Naperville, Aurora, Addison and Kankakee, IL, Rochester and St Paul MN. The home was well appointed and even nicer than the online photos suggested! Furniture is well appointed and clean, beds, linens and towels top notch, kitchen had TONS of anything you’d ever need. The basement “apartment” was perfect for separating different families and the children’s play nook and game cabinet was perfect!! Though it rained most of our long weekend, the spacious/clean front porch was a perfect place for us to gather and mingle about. We enthusiastically recommend House of heART 2!!

Family gathering

Our four sons and their family's came in from all over the world to attend my mother-in-law’s funeral. This house provided a wonderful and unique space that accommodated all of us. A big hit was the poker table in the basement that was used more then once. This is the most fully equipped short term rental i have ever booked. From snacks, to toothpaste, there was really nothing not provided for a welcoming and comfortable stay. Its location is as good as is possible if St Paul is your destination, with Grand Ave 2 blocks away. This will be the first place i try to book if we need a large home in the area again.

😍

Jill’s home is perfect! We had a completely uneventful stay (in the best way), and everything was above our expectations and what was advertised. There is plenty of living space meaning lots of room for people to be spread out through the house. The only thing I would consider is that all of the bedrooms except the basement bedroom are on the top floor sharing one bathroom so those everybody has to be okay with that. However, that was exactly as advertised so no fault to Jill for that, just something to keep in mind when booking for your group if they’d be comfortable with that. The house was SO well stocked. There was nothing we needed that wasn’t there. Jill provides so many toiletries and snacks. This is an amazing house and we are looking to book again already.
