    The house is cozy and quiet. I love the uniqueness of the faucet coat hook and the lamp in the living room that looks like a heat lamp or an old 50's hair dryer. The skylight in the bathroom is pretty cool. The light switches are unique as well....

Company info

Brother, uncle, home renovator and general contractor, dog servant, and Salvation Army bell ringer. Thanks for booking, the airbnb units are constantly evolving and we strive to host a valuable and comfortable stay. I'm close by if anything comes up, but I generally host from afar. Text message always works well!

Property info

The dollar house was a tired little place that hadn’t been lived in for over a decade! It’s fully renovated into something special. A great place to stay and is very well equipped. It's private, on a safe street, well lit at night, close to parks & lakes. Charge your electric car in the driveway!

Neighborhood info

The parks and lakes around Albert Lea are beautiful. There are plenty of places within walking distance to check out, from pickle ball courts, to walking trails and restaurants and sports bars. Downtown is a few minute drive and there's plenty going on! There's Albert Lea taxi and other buses/ shuttles that will pick you up right in front of the house. Frank Ave is close to everything, walking and especially bicycling are very easy ways to get around in Albert Lea.
