Holiday Haus in Historic New Ulm - sleeps 8+

Our nearly 100 year old home sits on historic State Street in the center of town, just 2 blocks from the bustling downtown which includes, restaurants, boutiques, coffee, ice cream, cocktail bars, parks and much more.

Recently voted Best Place in Minnesota to Live and a Top 10 MN vacation destination, New Ulm is a quaint, charming yet vibrant gem in south central Minnesota. Home of the 2nd oldest family owned and operated brewery in the United States, Schell's. Its packed calendar of festivals make it a year-round destination.

3,200 square feet, you will love the charm of this old home including the beautiful hardwood floors and high ceilings. Please enjoy any of the FOUR great outdoor spaces available including a large front porch, a small coffee deck on the second floor, the back deck or the patio with a cozy, private fire pit. The property also has off-street parking stalls.

We are life-long residents, (or Bewohners if you sprechen sie Deutsch) of New Ulm and are close by to answer any question you may have quickly via phone, text, email or VRBO messenger.

New Ulm is well known for its Bavarian roots and it pervades almost everything. From day one, the city was designed as a free-thinking utopia filled with parks every few blocks.

New Ulm is famous for its German festivals such as Bavarian Blast (formally Heritagefest) (July), Bock Fest (March) at the mansion grounds of August Schell of Schell's beer fame, and of course, TWO full weekends of Oktoberfest (Oktober) activities. New Ulm is the host of many baseball, hockey and basketball tournaments.

Our home is just four blocks from beautiful German Park with its fountain, gardens and brand new amphitheater. It is also just 2 blocks from the Historic Turner Hall Turnverein Club complete with bar and restaurant (Rathskeller).

Our home is located almost smack in the middle of town making walking downtown a breeze (about 2 blocks). There you can find everything from live music to German restaurants (Turner Hall and Kaiserhoff), or our Glockenspiel, one of the few free-standing carillon clock towers in the world! You are also just a few blocks from Johnson Park if you want to take in a baseball game.

3 retired VA nurses, came here to relax, eat and shop. We had a great time of course ,staying in this lovely home was the best part of our trip. We thought there was a hot tub but only found a wonderful jacuzzi tub. Many new updates on this 100 yr old home. Definitely would recommend this to everyone. And the beds and linens were very comfortable . A+
