About this property

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

Historic 1880s Home

Voted 2021 and 2023 Readers’ Choice Best Bed and Breakfast of the Valley by the Sun Country Messenger!

Perfect for those who appreciate yesterday’s handiwork, this spacious 1880s home is truly one of a kind built by pioneering Dr. Combacker. Slow down and relish in yesteryear as you sip coffee in a front porch rocker, bird watch from the bay window, or take a long soak in the jetted tub.

Loaded with more than the essentials, we offer a full kitchen, bbq equipment, and toiletries. Besides being close to outdoor recreation and downtown, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained here from board games, puzzles, cards, and reading material to a big backyard with an outdoor fire pit.

Wonderfully nestled in the St. Croix Valley, this home’s location will not disappoint. You’ll be a short distance from all that the Twin Cities has to offer, a brief walk away from beautiful downtown Osceola, and close enough to explore the great outdoors. Come spend a night away yet within arm’s reach of it all at Osceola’s most historic estate.

Please note this is a duplex and there is potential for noise. We live in the adjacent unit and have two young children who like to do child things. We do our best to be respectful of our guests by keeping noise and activity at a minimum, and we give our guests first priority in shared outdoor spaces.

Sisters birthday celebration
Dr. Comebacker 1880 house was the perfect base for our weekend. It has everything you need for a stay away from home and Allison is very responsive if you need anything. Osceola is a quaint little town withany cute shops within walking distance of the rental house. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Cute town with proximity to two ski areas
Stayed at this cute historic house with kids who appreciated the supply of board games. Easy drive to both Trollhaugen and Wild Mountain for skiing. Walked to Watershed Cafe for dinner and a peek at the falls. Keypad for easy checkin.

Enjoy the place very historical. It could use a lamp in the living room by sofa for reading and shades on windows for privacy in evening. Beds were comfortable. A well supply kitchen with everything you need.

Historic gem, centrally located but quiet
The period decor, attention to detail, and comfort of this property made it a lovely place to return to each night. We appreciated the many thoughtful touches and easy communication with Allison before and during our stay. Trust the listing description, the photos, and the reviews - they're quite accurate. Glad Allison and her family choose to make this home available for visitors to Osceola!

Perfect for us
We needed a three bedroom place for three adults so the house was perfect us. The beds were comfortable, the house was clean and the kitchen was stocked with every dish/utensil/appliance that you would need to prepare Thanksgiving dinner. We really appreciated the large laundry room as we had just returned from a ten day canoe trip. The neighborhood is quaint and everything is within walking distance. Thanks, Allison … we really enjoyed our stay.

Historic 1850s House
We enjoyed the time spent in this historic town. The home had an antique setting with a settee and Victorian furniture. We enjoyed evenings sitting in that are watching the wildlife. Also enjoyed the walking tour and see the old Methodist-Episcopal Church and the recently remodeled Baptist Church. Fantastic, friendly community.

Quiet family neighborhood
Accurate listing of property. Needs some more attention to detail; upstairs bathroom closet and door, yard care- yard sale??? That could have waited Bathroom door on main level doesn’t close correctly. More sound proofing between units. Garbage and recycling bins full.

Nice place to stay.
The stay was nice but the post is deceiving. I thought I was getting the entire property, not just half of the house. The house was clean and tidy but the neighbors were very loud. You could often hear loud banging and loud voices at different times during our stay.

Family Bonding at 1880s Home
This home was perfect for our families' stay. We had a little difficulty with the front door entry keypad. It seemed to have it's own mind in sometimes opening and sometimes not!! When it wouldn't we went around the house and entered through the kitchen door which always worked. We had quite a group staying with only the 2 bathrooms but...no problem...we worked all that out and it ran smoothly. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. We slept like babies. Only one in our group had a problem keeping the inflatable bed aired up all night. Hopefully that problem will be attended to before the next group needs it! We found the layout of the main dining and living areas made it very easy to have everyone chit chatting together in one space. The long dining table provided a great area to eat and play games. The kitchen is small but very useable and all that we needed for cooking was provided well. We did use the grill and charcoal and matches were there at our fingertips! We would have loved to have had a campfire and enjoyed the garden area more...but...weather did not cooperate. There were piles of wood close by to use. Everyone loved the home (front porch could use a little paint to add to the charm) We were pleased with our stay. We were able to walk to the shops downtown in minutes and enjoy this cute town with the coffee/sandwich shop by the waterfalls, antique shops with icecream, boutiques, candy store and grocery store within blocks. We loved it! (And would come again!)

We stayed over the weekend. Property owners were very flexible and communicative and let us know as soon as the house opened up for an early arrival. Location is great- less than 2 blocks to Main Street. Great little getaway.

Great stay!
We had a wonderful stay at this house. Was perfect for our family with two young kids and was in a great location - close enough to walk to restaurants and parks in town and just a short drive to Interstate State park and other nearby attractions. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Stay in Quaint Town
We had a fantastic time staying in Osceola. The house is located within walking distance of great shops and food. Allison was a wonderful host, very communicative. Everything in the house was labeled which was nice. She thought of everything, including an umbrella which came in handy! We would love to stay here again!
