About this property

Modern, stylish, Instagram worthy 3 bedroom home, 1 bathroom home.

Our home is within walking distance of the MN State Fairgrounds and Como Park! Perfect if you are a fan of the fair or have a wedding/event at the Como Conservatory.
This space doubles as a photography studio and has tons of natural light as well as surfaces/backgrounds for all your photo needs.
Each room has a different theme, and we highly recommend taking a soak in the clawfoot tub.
This home was built in 1900, so it has the old charm and woodwork, but AC/Heat and modern amenities.

The space
Enter through the front door and lounge in the SKY Chair or on the vintage couch on our 3 season porch. When you head inside, the living room/dining room will be to your left, the kitchen will be straight ahead.

The living room has a couch, 2 chairs, an electric fireplace, and a TV. We've stocked some games and coloring books for your enjoyment as well.

The dining room can double as a great meeting space. There's a desk with wireless charging, a "marble" table to enjoy your meals and cocktails, and access to the deck through the big bay doors.

You can enjoy your coffee and look at the window from the breakfast nook or sit at the kitchen island.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms with different themes. The "Dark" room has warm brown tones with a skylight and a modern chandelier. It's the biggest of the three rooms and has a queen memory foam mattress.

The "White" room is boho-themed with cream-colored bedding and crouched art. The walk-in closet has extra pillows and lots of room to store your things. The decorative bedframe holds a queen memory foam mattress.

The "Bold" room has a full bed and a velvet chaize lounge. The pops of color and textures are fun and playful.

You can park in the street with ease or in the driveway at the back of the home which you can access from the alley.

Notes for parents with kids:
We would like to think our home is accessible for children. We have an infant of our own and have the following supplies for those under 2 stored in the closet of the "Bold" room (the one with the teal velvet curtains).

- Pack and Play
- Books
- A few toys
- Bouncy Chair

There is kid-friendly shampoo/conditioner/body wash in the bathroom and a kid towel as well.

There are some sharp corners in the home, and we have not child-proofed the house. But in the kitchen cupboard above the stove, we do have childproofing supplies like socket covers, corner covers, and stove covers for you to use.

In the desk, there are coloring books and other creative supplies.

If you need a high chair or other supplies, please send us a message before your stay so we can stock them for you!


TV: It is a ROKU TV, please add and remove your own accounts. Xfinity Plus is also available for all guests. Remotes are in the TV stand. More instructions are in the back of the manual.


Extra batteries:
We use rechargeable batteries. Batteries and charger are in the desk in the dining area.

Cleaning supplies:

All cleaning supplies can be found under the sink (if you have children, we moved these to a higher cabinet).

The clear bottle has an environmentally safe, non-toxic, cleaning formula in it for all surfaces.

Norwex microfiber cloths can be found in the drawer. The “Enviro” cloth is for all surfaces. The Window cloth is for windows. The Stainless steel is for stainless steel.

Guest access
Entire home except for the basement.

Other things to note
During the weekdays, our basement is home to a t-shirt production company. They have their own entrance and will not disturb your space.

Beautiful Neighborhood

We were in St Paul for a wedding in Como Park. The location was perfect. Beautiful neighborhood. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed. We had a little trouble with entry, but I called the host and she helped me get in right away. One thing we didn’t care for was one of the couches in the living room - It was too stiff to get comfortable on so we just had the one couch.

Adorable and Comfortable home

We had an amazing stay at Angela and Thomas’s place. Their house was as listed and is simply adorable. It was comfortable, clean, and we felt at home in their place. Angela and Thomas were really great hosts and easy-going. We would definitely stay here again when we’re next in town!

Lovely home, great neighborhood, wonderful hosts

I, my husband, and our two year old daughter vacationed at this property for a long weekend getaway. The home was comfortable and clean, and anything we needed to use was easy to find. The hosts provided us with child-proofing supplies if we needed them and also set up the travel bed (pack-n-play) for our daughter (who isn’t quite ready for a regular bed yet). The hosts were wonderful to communicate with and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet. Although we drove to the Como Zoo, we definitely could have walked there! Every place we visited during our stay was easy to get to - Mall of America, Snake Discovery, MN Largest Candy Store, Como Zoo, and grocery stores. This was our first time renting a vacation home so we were a little trepidatious, but our hosts and their property made our stay comfortable, inviting, and so easy. We had such a great experience we may find it hard to ever stay at a hotel again! Thank you to the Knox family for being gracious hosts!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Knox

Host profile image
Hello! We are Angela and Tom Knox! We bought this property in 2022 to not only host guests, but as a rentable space for brands, photographers, and content creators for shoots, meetings, and more.

We are expecting a daughter in a few weeks, and live about 10 minutes away in Minneapolis.

Why they chose this property

The natural light and old school charm were irresistable! We also love the neighborhood and how close it is to so many great activities!

What makes this property unique

The location is great for weddings at the Como Conservatory, college visits to Hamline and Macalester, as well as walkable to the Fair Grounds.
