Stay in a unique and original Old Town Hall with hardwood floors..

Stay in a unique and original Old Town Hall with hardwood floors and 16' tall ceilings. Each bedroom has a unique feel and the loft spaces are amazing.

The building is a converted 3/4 basketball court that has had bedrooms and bathrooms added. This building is set up for large or small groups with plenty of space to spread out. Handicap accessible with a lift in the garage for main floor access.

Includes Washer and dryer, wireless internet, modern kitchen, Jacuzzi tub in one of the bathrooms and a dining area large enough to feed everyone.

Located in SW Douglas County, MN there are over 20 lakes within 15 minutes and the Kensington Runestone Park is about 10 minutes away.

In the winter, Andes Tower Hills Ski Area is 15 minutes away and the DATA snowmobile trails (Douglas Area Trails Association) right on the edge of town.

Wonderful property for a family event! The kids loved all of the space and fun things to do including basketball, air hockey, scooters, exploring all of the nooks and crannies. All of the beds were great! Hope to get back for more family events!

Great Space for Family Groups
We spent the weekend with our parents, siblings, and their kids. The house was as shown in pics. Enough beds for everyone, well stocked kitchen, and the owners replied promptly when I had questions. Everyone was very happy with the house and you can tell the owners have put thought into the place and what people will need.

What a fun place to stay!
So much space and so much to do that we did not want to leave the place while there. Really enjoyed the air hockey, ping pong and other games, having separate bedrooms for everyone, a large kitchen, and overall a very unique place to stay. We look forward to staying here again in the future! Also, Kensington was a quaint little town but had everything we could hope to have for a small town (grocery store, post office, and other amenities). Awesome place!
