So cool! Have you ever dreamed of staying in an old, remodeled gas station from the early 1900s? You probably haven't because you didn't even know that was an option. It turns out there is such a place you can rent and it is located right here in Minnesota.

I came across this Airbnb on a Facebook group for quirky things to do in Minnesota. This is certainly quirky and just pretty cool if you ask me. This rental is located in an old Mobil gas station from 1925. It has a large living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.

The coolest part? There are hints of what the spot used to be in nearly ever room in the form of some type of antique with the Mobil name or logo. There are also the gas pumps outside, stopped at 37 cents. You can sit on the front porch right next to these antique gas pumps.

The Airbnb goes for $132 bucks a night and is located in Peterson, Minnesota. Peterson is about four hours from Duluth but if you are looking to explore that part of the state and stay somewhere cute and cozy, this might just be the place for you. Sadly, you cannot fill your tank with gas at the price listed. Ha!

Sold! Historic Duluth Stone Carriage House Was Priced At $825,500

Duluth is filled with historic properties and another chance to own one recently arrived. Anyone in Duluth who talked about "that pretty stone cottage" was likely referring to the cottage that sits at 1600 Vermilion Road.

Renowned architect Fredrick German designed this historic property and it was once a carriage house for the neighboring mansion, which was built for lumber baron John Millen in 1912. Although it has been remodeled or refurbished for today's lifestyle, it retains much of its original character.


The iconic landmark features a majestic stone arch that welcomes you and all guests. Once inside the 1,900-square-foot cottage, there's a surprisingly open-concept floor plan on the main level. They've truly maximized this space, which features a primary suite, an ensuite, and even a unique lofted level.

The craftsmanship is from a bygone era, with stone walls so thick, you hear no sounds from the outside. While the cottage features a smaller footprint, it's certainly a case of quality of quantity and the new owner will find it a perfect fit.

It originally went on the market in July 2023. It was removed from the market in August 2023, but on March 5, 2024, it was once again listed for sale for $825,500, after owners added an additional lot.

On May 14, 2024, the property was officially sold, and the new owners got a bit of a deal.

Take another look through the historic property, which features 2 bedrooms and 3 baths and you'll also see the final sale price with the final photo.
