MINNeSTAY* Grand Residence

Welcome to Grand Residence!

Located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the Twin Cities, Saint Paul's Grand Residence has endless amenities. Shopping, dining, recreations, and the famous Grand Ole Day in June, there is truly something for everyone here. You'll be less than half a block from the fantastic Kowalski's Market, perfect for picking up groceries and a bottle of wine. Or if you're thinking of dining out or ordering in, there's Indian, Korean, Pizza, and American food within half a block.

The home features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, an office for teleworking, a three-season porch, a wet bar, board games, outdoor fire pit, and located only 2 miles from the Mississippi River.

• Master bedroom (takes up the entire upper floor) has a King bed, private bath with extensive closet space. The second bedroom (main floor) has a comfy Queen with a modest walk-in closet, and the third bedroom (main floor) doubles as an office with a single bed and a desk facing a window that looks out onto the backyard. Truly a bright and scenic office for anyone working away from home.
• Two full bathrooms: The master bath has a newly remodeled walk-in shower. Tucked into a corner of the master suite, it is hidden behind a half-wall but is not fully enclosed. The main floor full bath shares a hallway with the other two bedrooms, while the half bath is in the basement entertainment den.
• A fully stocked kitchen perfect for cooking meals - great for stays short and long
• Three-season porch – perfect to have a cup of coffee on a warm summer morning!
• Board games and Pacman!
• Fire pit in the backyard surrounded by Adirondack chairs and gas grill
• 2 miles from the Mississippi River

Great location!
The house on Grand Ave is really situated in just the right spot! Close to restaurants, cafes, shops and a very short walk to Summit Ave to see all the historic homes in the neighborhood!

Wonderful place!
Great charming house in a fantastic location that was close to everything. Super comfy bed and all the basic amenities provided to get our trip started without extra efforts. Minnestay really goes above and beyond with their properties so looking forward to returning to their places again after this first time in one.

Great location
This location was the perfect spot for our vacation to Saint Paul, MN! Loved running along Summit and Grand Ave! A quick walk to so many restaurants, shops, and coffee houses. The top floor master room was nice and cold for sleeping on a hot summer days! The basement bar and game room with Pac-Man and darts was super fun!

Wonderful week for the fam!
There's nothing really to say except how it went. Everything was smooth, everything was easy, communication was fabulous and the place was as advertised and then some. Plenty of room for us and plenty close to all the necessities and entertainment we needed. The video game and Lounge downstairs is a beautiful touch and the backyard is a wonderful little tucked away area where you can feel private but still be close to everything. We had many cookouts and play sessions. Plenty of room for everyone to spread out that needed to go to bed at different times due to the kids. And anytime there was a question we got an answer quickly. Highly recommend the house, and area. Thanks so much for having us!!

Comfort in St. Paul
My company travels the country setting up structures for events and other activations. As such we utilize VRBO often. This property in St. Paul is excellent. All amenities are present as described and the property manager's communication is outstanding. The property is very comfortable and accommodating. I highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the twin cities!

Cute home on Grand Avenue
This little renovated home on Grand Avenue offers nicely decorated rooms and relaxing spaces, from the huge master bedroom top floor to the basement bar and TV area. We also liked the large backyard with chairs. The back deck and parking area are in serious need of renovation. The rest of the property is in good shape.

Grand Avenue
The location was excellent, within walking distance to Kowalski’s Grocery and a number of good restaurants and coffee shops. The house was an old well cared for craftsman. The upstairs stairway has short steps that can be difficult for an adult. The dishwasher was necessarily quite small given the available kitchen cabinet space leading the three of us to need to run it often.

Charming, convenient Grand Ave. Bungalow!
We dropped our daughter off for college at St Thomas and didn't want the hassle of a hotel, parking ramp, etc. We were 5 blocks from her and it was the most relaxing stay we've had in the Cities! We could walk to restaurants, bars, shopping. We walked daily to Kowalski's for groceries to cook/snack-they are THE NICEST people! We walked to Iron Ranger (awesome bar/restaurant with live music and the coolest manager around..Liz V.), and The Colossal Cafe on the corner is great for breakfast and lunch! Clean and cozy with character is this home with plenty of room for my husband and I, both of our daughters (17 and 21) and a boyfriend:) We had everything we needed for cooking, drinking wine, laundry, easy parking in the alley. House was plenty cool because it was really hot this week, and evenings on the back deck with wine were perfect. We will definitely be back as we'll be watching Tommie basketball games all winter! Thanks so much for our new home away from home:)

Beautiful St Paul home
This is a lovely, updated older home in a quiet neighborhood in St. Paul. The 2nd floor attic has been turned into a large master suite with a beautiful bathroom. Pros: immaculate 1/2 block to groceries, restaurants Coffee shop Lovely neighborhood to walk around Close to Macalester college & St Thomas 2 parking spots in back 3 beds w/different mattresses for all comfort levels Spacious living/dining area Back deck updated & fire pit in yard Interactions with Minnestay very pleasant. Cons: main bathroom on 1st floor had plumbing issues, shower head broken, (replaced during our stay). Hot water in sink was a trickle, needed plumber to fix. Hopefully this will be resolved prior to other visitors. If not for the plumbing issues, this would be 5/5.
