About this property

Entire place

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

This charming 1920’s bungalow/cottage has been in our family for over a century and we love spending time here when we are in town. With high ceilings, original woodwork, hardwood floors, and amazing front porch it is the perfect place for a relaxing getaway.
It is minutes from the Mississippi waterfront, bike path, Lumberkings Stadium, local grocery, and several bars and restaurants.

During your stay at this holiday home, you're just a quick walk from Mishrikh Trith Hospital. A kitchen and a patio are available in the holiday home.

Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and patio
Just a 5-minute walk from Mishrikh Trith Hospital and a 1-minute drive from Alliant Energy Field

The Kruse Cottage offers its guests barbecue grills. The front desk is open around the clock.

Great Clinton Home

The Kruse House did not disappoint-the vrbo description was clear and accurate. Perfect for 2 couples or small family. It was a great place to stay while we visited family in the Clinton area for our brother’s 80th birthday. We would definitely recommend the Kruse House and hope to return in the future

Memories in a historical cottage

A homey ambience with historical impact along with modern technology and comforts. From natural woodwork to internet tv. Thoroughly enjoyed our time there with family and holiday meal. Convenient location, near the river and access to highways, great restaurants and grocery stores. Will remember to check out availability again when visiting.

Home away from home

This place is quickly becoming out home away from home - perfect for when we’re in Clinton visiting family. Celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday and had plenty of room to host the family and cook dinner for all. A lovely and comfortable place!

Welcoming Stay

Welcoming from the moment we turned the key. The property was already decorated for the holidays. Our boys were in town for a funeral, it was all the comfort of home that they needed. We loved the this beautiful century home house and look forward to staying again!

Wonderful Experience

When we walked in the door the Christmas tree was set up and lit up and there were Christmas decorations around the house! We just moved here from Texas and had to stay at this property for 3 weeks while we waited for our new house to close and it felt like home and had everything we needed!
