Welcome to Our Guest House!

A transformed farmhouse in the heart of downtown Chaska now available as a locally crafted furnished guest house for up to eight guests.

History of the Home

Built in 1893 as a farmhouse in the brick making town of Chaska, Minnesota, the home was owned by three generations of the same family since 1923 when it was purchased for renovation in 2019. Now it’s been transformed and is ready to welcome guests!

  • Original hardwood floors on the 1st floor
  • High-end finishes including custom cabinets, Quartz countertops, ceramic bath floors and tile showers and bath
  • Sleeps up to 8 guests comfortably
  • Artwork and furnishings from local artisans and craftmakers
  • One block off main street with fabulous restaurants and shops

The Space

The transformation began in March 2019 with the goal to retain the original foundation, framing and much of the floorplan. Over the next five months, the house was completely transformed.

The hardwood floors on the first floor were brought back to life, a first-floor laundry and mud room were added, all the house systems were replaced, and a second-floor master suite was added.

A completely transformed home was born ready to welcome guests for the next 100 years!

Bed and Bath

Up to 8 guests can sleep comfortably in this lovely three-bedroom home:

  • Bedroom 1: 1 king bed, en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet
  • Bedroom 2: 1 queen bed
  • Bedroom 3: 1 single and single trundle bed
  • Living room: 1 full sized pull-out couch, large enough for 2 guests

Sleep well on freshly laundered, high-quality bedding and wake up to natural light from the large windows.

The home includes 2 full bathrooms and 1 powder room, so getting ready will be a breeze for everyone! The master bathroom has a large vanity top, toilet, and shower. Bathroom 2 includes sink, toilet, and shower/tub combo. And the half bath near the backyard includes a toilet and sink only. We provide toiletries, towels, and a hair dryer so you can pack light.

Living Space

This restored farmhouse features a large, open kitchen with farmhouse sink, gas range, and the original hardwood floors.

The kitchen has everything you need for a home-cooked meal. Appliances include a refrigerator, freezer, gas stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and coffee maker, and the cabinets are stocked with cookware, dishes, glasses, and utensils.

Dine in style at the elegant table for 8 or kick back in the living room, where you’ll find comfortable chaise sofa for seating. It’s the ideal spot to play a game, watch a movie on the flat-screen TV, or recap the day’s adventures.

Step out to your private backyard and enjoy breakfast al fresco or wind down with a beverage at the end of the day.

Essentials

The home is equipped with fast WiFi, heat, and central air conditioning for optimal comfort and connected-ness. A washer and dryer are located in the first floor mud room.

Good fit and location for us

"We found this place to fit our family's needs very well. The home was clean and very welcoming. We have many family members living in nearby towns which made it easy for us to see them often. We really loved having the enclosed front porch as it provided a place for our kids to play. The bedrooms were comfy and cozy. There were just enough bathrooms for our party of 3 adults and 3 children ages 6, 3, 1. The dispensers of soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion were a pleasant surprise. We did find a few things missing in terms of kitchen ware and cleaning items, (would have loved having a broom and mop on occasion), but for the most part the home is well stocked. Along with the tv in the living room, there were tvs in the 2 bigger bedrooms. We aren't very tech savvy so we weren't able use the bedroom tvs, but played youtube shows for the kids on the living room tv. The laundry pair came in handy; however, we found that the washer had a slight smell of mildew probably as a result of the door being closed when not in use or too much liquid detergent being used per wash. We like the detergent sheets provided as that is what we use at home. The backyard is fenced which we needed for our dog. The yard crew only mows so we moved the dead branches that fell off to the side of the yard. We used the new grill a couple of times. We bought utensils for it as there weren't any yet. We hope to find this home available when we return to visit family in the future."

CleaningCheckinGreat locationQuiet

"This historic house was beautifully renovated, while still keeping some of its original charm. It was so clean and spacious - perfect for our family of four. We appreciated the small touches that Minnestay included - toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc. We also loved the restaurants in the area. There is a phenomenal bakery only a two minute walk from the house where we had breakfast every morning, as well as a restaurant connected to a curling center where you can sit and eat some quintessential Minnesota dishes while watching a curling match or practice."
