Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
A two-bedroom apartment above Getaway Motor Cafe in historic downtown Carver, MN. Built in 1871, carefully restored, and designed with a Nordic Modern warmth that makes you want to stay a little longer.

Jøtul fireplace, gourmet kitchen, private balcony over the creek, and a cafe downstairs for morning coffee and evening cocktails.

Sleeps 4. Small-town charm, miles of trails. Come rest.

The space
The entire second level is yours. Open-concept living with a Jøtul fireplace, gourmet kitchen with luxury finishes, and two bedrooms with plush queen beds. The private balcony overlooks the creek and the cafe patio below.

Downstairs, Getaway Motor Cafe serves coffee and espresso through mid-afternoon, then shifts to craft cocktails, wine, and local beers Thursday through Saturday evenings.

Downtown Carver puts you within a short walk of local shops, restaurants, and the river levee. The Ash Street trailhead is right outside your door with access to the Carver Loop Trail, Rapids River Trail, and the Minnesota River Valley Regional Trail system. Miles of hiking, biking, and seasonal trails without ever starting your car.

The building dates to 1871 and every detail of the restoration was done with intention. You'll feel it.

Guest access
Full access to the entire second level and private balcony. Entry is through an external staircase off the back patio. Keypad code arrives the day before check-in and changes every guest.

No elevator or interior stair access. Cafe patio seating may be in use when you come and go.

Other things to note
We invested in soundproofing well beyond code, though some ambient cafe and patio sound comes through. Most guests say it's part of the charm.

The space is on the second level with staircase-only access from the back patio. Exterior cameras on-site for security. No interior cameras.
