Historic Gem on Ferry Street

You will enter the apartment from the back deck, leading you into a quaint porch and then into the well-stocked kitchen. You will find a full bathroom, dining room, living room, and a bedroom with a queen bed for sleeping. The laundry room is in the basement and is the only area in the house that is shared. You will have access to the basement through a door inside the apartment. This door will auto-lock if you shut it. The door code can be found after you book in the app under the arrival guide.

Our home is located on a main road, so you may hear some traffic noise, especially during peak hours. While many guests find it manageable and still enjoy a comfortable stay, we want to be upfront so there are no surprises.

If you like to barbecue, we have a grill outside and patio furniture for you to hang out on.

To keep our nightly rates low, we do not provide consumables such as paper towels, shampoo, conditioner, etc. You will have enough toilet paper and hand soap for the start of your stay; however, if you run out, you'll need to replenish.

Please notify us if anything does not work or is broken.
We are open to any recommendations to improve the stay.

Anoka was built-up in the mid-1800s around logging operations, where the Rum River and the mighty Mississippi River come together. Later, the town profited from potato production, shoe manufacturing, and a state-run hospital.

By 1937, Anoka became nationally recognized as a Halloween destination when 12-year-old Harold Blair won a trip to Washington D.C., and brought with him a sweater sewn with an Anoka the Halloween patch on it and a proclamation that named Anoka as the Halloween Capital of the World. It was also one of the first cities in the United States to put on a Halloween celebration that discourages people from playing tricks or causing trouble. If you love Halloween and all the creepiness that goes along with it. You will want to go on one of the many Guided Cemetery Tours or Ghost Tours throughout the historical town.

Anoka is a charming small town with plenty to offer and explore. You can enjoy peaceful walks along the scenic riverfront, spend time fishing by the dam, or catch a live concert in one of our beautiful parks just across the river. Located just 30 minutes from major venues like U.S. Bank Stadium, Target Field, and the Xcel Energy Center, Anoka makes a great home base for catching a Twins, Wild, or Vikings game—or seeing your favorite artists in concert.

Hope you will enjoy your stay and some of the attractions we have listed.
