The St. Paul Castle ~ Heated Pool ~ Hot Tub ~ Sauna ~ Arcade ~ Bar ~ 8BR
Known as “The Castle,” this striking 1870 Eastlake Victorian blends historic architecture with resort-style amenities for one of the most unique stays in the Twin Cities. Located in Saint Paul, just minutes from both downtown Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the home features dramatic architecture, expansive living areas, and unforgettable spaces designed for relaxing and spending time together. Amenities include a heated outdoor pool, spa hot tub, private cedar sauna, outdoor movie theater, full arcade lounge, outdoor bar, and unique historic architecture with hidden nooks throughout. With 8 bedrooms and a spacious layout, the home is ideal for extended families, group trips, retreats, and milestone celebrations. Relax in the cedar sauna, soak in the hot tub under the stars, spend afternoons poolside, or gather for a movie night outdoors. Inside, the arcade and large living spaces offer plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy the house together. Pool open Memorial Day through Labor Day. Sauna and hot tub available year-round. Out of respect for our neighbors, outdoor quiet hours are enforced and gatherings beyond registered guests are not permitted.

Everything was great! Plenty of space for our family holiday! Thank you! We didn't get to use the pool or outdoor bar area, but that looks great for a summer stay.
Huge home! Clean with all towels, blankets that could be needed for both pool and for bathing. Pool was beautiful and clean as was hot tub. Zip line in back yard was fun. Met all of our needs and exceeded our expectations.
Great house and a wonderful stay thanks to the team! Everything worked well - super well stocked house and a wonderful place to host! Would book again especially for a summer day and night!
A great place for a retreat with 7 others. The living spaces are great. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen had almost everything we needed (no salt or pepper, though). My team wants to return! That is a first!
The dead of winter is not necessarily the best time to visit the Twin Cities, but the "Castle" was an excellent place to have our large extended family stay as we attended the memorial service for our 96 year old mother, grandmother and great grandmother. There was plenty of room, the kitchen was well appointed and everything for a comfortable stay was provided. Our hosts were attentive and available when we had a question. Check in and out went smoothly and everything was as described in the VRBO listing. Thank you, Rachel and Charlie for making our stay warm and relaxing. We were able to enjoy our time together and celebrate the wonderful life of an amazing person who was so important in our lives.
Great space for a large group! Lots of bedrooms and different rooms to hang out with our group aged 15-90 years old during Thanksgiving weekend. We had 12 sleep at the house, and 20 there for Thanksgiving dinner. Plenty of space to sit for dinner, play games, watch football. Perfect kitchen to work together to prep meals. The neighborhood is amazing with a co-op, coffee shops and restaurants all in walking distance.Downsides: Host did not respond in a timely manner to questions before or during our stay, and when they did respond, it was an incomplete answer. I believe we paid premium price because it was Thanksgiving (compared to posted prices for weekends before and after), and regardless I'm used to VRBO hosts who respond to inquiries within 24-48 hours, and always check to see if there are questions on the day of check in. In this case, day of check-in was day before Thanksgiving for a large group, so when we didn't hear back we knew we wouldn't hear back until day after Thanksgiving which was Day 3/4. This was disappointing, and doesn't match reviews of other guests in 2025 so was also surprising.Heads up the outlets, light switches, and lights are a little wonky. For example, a specific light switch has to be on in the basement in order for the TV to power on in the main floor. No big deal, but tricky to figure out! Love an old home, but would be great if host had handbook or guide for quirks of the property.
