About this place
A cozy 2-bedroom apartment above Getaway Motor Cafe in historic downtown Carver, MN. Built in 1871, beautifully restored, with a Nordic Modern warmth that makes you want to stay a little longer. Cared for by Luke and Beka. Jøtul fireplace, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable queen beds, heated bathroom floors, and private balcony over the creek. Coffee and pastries downstairs by day, cocktails and live music on weekend nights. River trails out the door. Sleeps 4. Small-town charm. Come rest. The entire second level is yours. Open-concept living with a Jøtul fireplace, a well-equipped kitchen with custom finishes, and two bedrooms with comfortable queen beds and phone chargers at every bedside. Heated bathroom floors for cold Minnesota mornings. The private balcony overlooks the creek and the cafe patio below. Downstairs, Getaway Motor Cafe serves coffee, espresso, and pastries through mid-afternoon, then shifts to craft cocktails, wine, and local beers Thursday through Saturday evenings. Morning coffee is one staircase away. 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. 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. Contactless check-in and check-out. We live nearby and are easy to reach through the Airbnb app. Hands-off until you need us, quick when you do. Downtown Carver is a historic river town on the Minnesota River, southwest of the Twin Cities. Main Street's brick storefronts date to the 1800s, and the whole downtown walks end to end in ten minutes. Getaway Motor Cafe is right downstairs. Carver Creamery is two blocks away. Food trucks and live music roll through in the warm months, and Schram Vineyards is a short drive away in Waconia. The Ash Street trailhead sits just outside the door: the Carver Loop Trail, Rapids River Trail, and the Minnesota River Valley Regional Trail system, plus the river levee for an evening walk. Recommendations! Restaurant: Schram Vineyards Winery & Brewery | Waconia, MN Coffee: Getaway Motor Cafe | Downstairs! We invested in soundproofing well beyond code, though some ambient cafe and patio sound comes through during open hours. 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. Follow @riversidegetaway for more photos and updates.

Such a peaceful, relaxing space! We loved our time away here. Everything was clean and comfortable and beautifully set up. It’s the perfect place to get away from the chaos of life. We walked to the creamery for ice cream, enjoyed the walking trails along the river and in the woods, and loved access to an amazing coffee shop just below. Inside we read, did a provided puzzle, played games, cooked meals, and slept SO well. Weather even allowed us to enjoy the quaint balcony. We look forward to coming back
