If you like to barbecue, we have a grill outside and patio furniture for you to hang out on. To keep our nightly rates low, we do not provide consumables such as paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, etc. You will have enough toilet paper and hand soap for the start of your stay; however, if you run out, you'll need to replenish. Please notify us if anything does not work or is broken. We are open to any recommendations to improve the stay. No overnight on-street parking is allowed in Anoka.

The home is 30 minutes to downtown Minneapolis, 45 minutes to downtown St Paul, 50 minutes to MSP Airport, 55 minutes to the Mall of America, and 15 minutes to the National Sports Center in Blaine. Do you love to golf? There are several courses within 15 minutes of this home. Including Green Haven, which is off main street in Anoka, and the TPC Twin Cities course, where you can watch the pros play at the PGA tournament every summer. Anoka was built-up in the mid-1800s around logging operations, where the Rum River and the mighty Mississippi River come together. Later, the town profited from potato production, shoe manufacturing, and a state-run hospital. By 1937, Anoka became nationally recognized as a Halloween destination when 12-year-old Harold Blair won a trip to Washington D.C., and brought with him a sweater sewn with an Anoka the Halloween patch on it and a proclamation that named Anoka as the Halloween Capital of the World. It was also one of the first cities in the United States to put on a Halloween celebration that discourages people from playing tricks or causing trouble. If you love Halloween and all the creepiness that goes along with it. You will want to go on one of the many Guided Cemetery Tours or Ghost Tours throughout the historical town. Anoka is a charming small town with plenty to offer and explore. You can enjoy peaceful walks along the scenic riverfront, spend time fishing by the dam, or catch a live concert in one of our beautiful parks just across the river. Located just 30 minutes from major venues like U.S. Bank Stadium, Target Field, and the Xcel Energy Center, Anoka makes a great home base for catching a Twins, Wild, or Vikings game—or seeing your favorite artists in concert. Hope you will enjoy your stay and some of the attractions we have listed. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Next to a golf course - On a lake - On a river ### Things to do - Gym - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Motor boating nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117220000/117218300/117218280/1b9d5f43.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Timeless Treasure on Ferry Street Anoka - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=117218280&PinnedHotelID=117218280&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100230000/100220800/100220731/dee384eb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Anoka 1 bedroom Apartment in Old Victorian House Anoka - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=100220731&PinnedHotelID=100220731&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94960000/94953000/94952950/w508h683x258y0-d7c03528.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Anoka 2 bedroom apt. in Historical Victorian House Anoka - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Parking available - Microwave 9.4 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=94952950&PinnedHotelID=94952950&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/98000000/97930000/97922400/97922397/8958a4b5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Horace House On The Hill Osseo - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning - Toys/games 8.6 Excellent 10 reviews CA $167 CA $381 total includes taxes & fees Oct 6 - Oct 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-06&endDate=2025-10-07&selected=97922397&PinnedHotelID=97922397&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/103000000/102910000/102908300/102908281/718d1bce.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Peaceful Retreat Minneapolis - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-15&endDate=2025-10-16&selected=102908281&PinnedHotelID=102908281&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107280000/107272600/107272592/50876dbc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pinky Promise You’ll Love It!

Sep 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed it Good value. Gorgeous roomy old house. With only two, bathrooms work. Could be issue with large family. ##### Emmett C. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah W. Jun 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family visit We were in town to visit family living in near by towns. For us it was a great location to get to near by family and walk to downtown for shopping and restaurants. House has large bedrooms upstairs and all the things you need to stay & relax. Bathrooms are old home MN with no luxury spa feeling but clean and in good working condition. It's a beautiful historic home. ##### Sarah W. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### June W. Jul 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay! Everything was clean and comfortable. The old house had a lot of character and was spacious! The bathroom with the shower was a bit small but doable. House is close to a busy street and is a bit noisy at night. Kitchen was clean and well stocked. Was a bit too far from my relatives so probably won’t stay again, but very lovely home. ##### June W. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael N. Oct 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely home with classic character We found this home to be spacious and clean. It is comfortably furnished (including the beds), and the kitchen is well stocked. Beware that the single shower is small. The homeowners requested that no shoes be worn in the house, which I found to be uncomfortable. It's an all-around good find. ##### Michael N. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fue H. Sep 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Decent price for an old house The house is old as describe in the listing. The kitchen is probably the only area that is pretty modern. One thing I will like to note is that the shower bathroom does not have a lock. Someone else could open the door without realizing someone is using it. Would have been nice to have this in the description. Overall it was decent for the price you’re paying for. ##### Fue H. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel M. Jul 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Good for families House was perfect to accommodate our relatively large and young family. A/C, kitchen, laundry, and bath all worked great. Location was convenient to major highways, but also walkable to shops and restaurants in downtown Anoka. Relatively quiet neighborhood….a few colorful characters (mostly around the nearby river walk), but never felt unsafe. Would definitely stay again. ##### Daniel M. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2024
