About this property

Entire place

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

Holiday Haus. (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), BockFest (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.

This is a wonderful home for a visit to New Ulm. It is attractive and yet comfortable. You will feel right at home and have everything you need. The location is quiet but close to the everything you’ll want to do. There are a number of outdoor areas to enjoy. The owners are helpful and have provided so many extras.

Welcome retreat on a cold Spring night.
We rented on a dark, damp and dreary night and were pleased to have a warm, cozy and cheerful place waiting for us! All the rooms were very inviting and the kitchen well-stocked. We did not have time to take advantage of all amenities, but the patio looked amazing and the collection of movies and games would have been used if staying longer. I didn’t think dogs were allowed but I had an allergic reaction when sitting on an upholstered chair, which was unfortunate. We were also a bit surprised by the checkout procedure to sweep/vacuum all rooms, wash and put away all dishes (no time to use dishwasher), and take out the trash as that seemed more than the usual ask at a VRBO. Happy to comply but be sure you allow time for chores on check out day. Overall, this is as a lovely place to stay!

Fabulous Family Getaway
We loved everything about Holiday Haus! The furnishings are absolutely beautiful and there are coordinating accessories to delight the eye everywhere you turn. The beds were all comfortable (I slept better then usual for a night away from home) and we enjoyed the well-appointed kitchen, movie selection, games, and proximity to the shops by the riverbank. I was especially happy to take advantage of the jetted bathtub and sauna. Would love to come back. Thank you for a great stay!

Cozy and Comfortable
We stayed here when we got stuck in town due to a blizzard. The house was nice and roomy with plenty of games and books to keep the kids entertained. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the little things you forget to bring, which made it super easy to make our own meals. We really enjoyed the fireplace, jetted tub, and sauna! It was way better than staying in a hotel!

This is my childhood home, so I must admit, I am biased! But even setting aside the fact that this home holds some wonderful memories for me, it is an outstanding place to stay in New Ulm. Walking distance to the heart of downtown and just so conveniently located to everything. Such a comfortable home, and well suited for family.
