About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Kruse Cottage

This charming 1920’s bungalow/cottage has been in our family for over a century and we love spending time here when we are in town. With high ceilings, original woodwork, hardwood floors, and amazing front porch it is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway.
It is minutes from the Mississippi waterfront, bike path, Lumberkings Stadium, local grocery, and several bars and restaurants.

Home away from home
This place is quickly becoming out home away from home - perfect for when we’re in Clinton visiting family. Celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday and had plenty of room to host the family and cook dinner for all. A lovely and comfortable place!

Memories in a historical cottage
A homey ambience with historical impact along with modern technology and comforts. From natural woodwork to internet tv. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there with family and holiday meal. Convenient location, near the river and access to highways, great restaurants and grocery stores. Will remember to check out availability again when visiting.

Welcoming Stay
Welcoming from the moment we turned the key. The property was already decorated for the holidays. Our boys were in town for a funeral, it was all the comfort of home that they needed. We loved the this beautiful century home house and look forward to staying again!

The Kruse Cottage was a great place to stay in Clinton … it was very comfortable, with all the amenities of home. It’s in a convenient location and just a couple blocks from a grocery store. The trains do go nearby a few times a day, but the noise from their horns didn’t bother us.

Great Clinton Home
The Kruse House did not disappoint-the vrbo description was clear and accurate. Perfect for 2 couples or small family. It was a great place to stay while we visited family in the Clinton area for our brother’s 80th birthday. We would definitely recommend the Kruse House and hope to return in the future
