Luxury Historic Home Next to US Bank Stadium. Private Courtyard + Rooftop.
Step out of the heart of the city and into the unforgettable gated courtyard where a Blacksmith Shop from 1890 blends industrial features, modern tech and Hygge design.
HYGGE: Scandinavian art of creating the perfect conditions that lead to cozy and memorable moments.
Gather around the floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace to connect, relax and experience the lodge-like feeling in the middle of downtown.
Have a coffee on the roof deck and dining area as the sun rises over the Minneapolis skyline or a cocktail as the sun sets behind the Viking ship of neighboring US Bank Stadium.
Enter the Forge studio off the private courtyard you will be greeted by the glow of Navy sconces salvaged from WW2 ships as they light the industrial dining/working table with enough space for everyone.
The studio’s 96-inch TV provides a true cinema screening or epic game day viewing experience.
The first floor houses all three guest bedrooms. Each room has a queen bed, flatscreen TV and access to a bathroom.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom w/ en suite and king bed features 130-year-old wood beams stained from the smoke of the long-removed blacksmith forge. Soak up the history or watch a movie on the new 76-inch flatscreen.
The chef’s built gourmet kitchen has Wolf stove, Sub-Zero refrigerator, prep station, wine fridge and high-end cookware to make and serve gourmet meals.

Visited with a group of family members going to a Viking game. Our choice to stay at this house could have been more spot on! It made our trip! House is extremely unique. An experience in and of itself. We will return!
We had a family reunion here and went to a Vikings game. This is a perfect home for a stay in downtown Minneapolis. 5 minute walk to US Bank stadium, 2 minutes to Gold Medal park and restaurants on Washington Ave.
The home is so unique with artistic touches everywhere you look. The ironwork is amazing. There is a living room with large fireplace for gathering, a large dining table next to the gourmet kitchen which has bar seating. The kitchen has everything you could want and all high end. The rooftop patio is great for grilling and informal dining as well as sitting around the wood burning fire pit. And on game day…what a show! We really enjoyed the light modern studio with game table and large screen TV. All bedrooms are nicely appointed and have access to or en suite bathrooms. Nate is a great host and immediately responds to questions. Access and checkout were a breeze. Can’t recommend highly enough if you want to be downtown and walk/Uber to everything Minneapolis has to offer
Unique one of the kind property which provided a very memorable stay for us!
Custom inside and out with many arches, elaborate staircases, a massive fireplace and stained glass and hand crafted iron work throughout this renovated gated home in downtown Minneapolis!
The Kitchen and Bathrooms (love the Bath towels!) were well furnished with modern convenances and the beds were very comfortable. Less than a 10 minute walk to coffee shops, restaurant's and US Bank Stadium!
Note: For those with grandparents the steps up to the roof top deck are very steep
