We have this Scandinavian Room, one of two uniquely decorated bedrooms in the lower level of our ranch home in the center of Grand Forks. One full bathroom is steps away from your bedroom door and will be for your private use. If your party is also renting the second room, our Western-themed room, you will be sharing this bathroom. There is also a private cozy living area with a TV/DVD with extensive DVD library for your use. This room has been decorated in a delightfully unique way. The Scandinavian Room features white furniture along with a queen bed and crisp linens and duvet reminiscent of Norway and Sweden. The cheery daffodil-painted walls along with accents of red and blue throughout create a European feel. There is a large full bathroom steps from your room and a cozy living space which gives our guests their desired privacy. A computer work table is provided, and in addition to the hundreds of DVDs at your disposal, there is a large case of family games to wile away the evenings. A small refrigerator sits on the table in the shared living space, and holds complimentary bottles of cold water. We often have a fire crackling in our wood-burning fireplace in the main level living room which would be a great place in which to curl up and read that long-awaited best seller. We have lived in Grand Forks since 1989 and are a good resource to assist with your travel plans. A delicious continental breakfast will be prepared including homemade scones or muffins, Greek yogurt, fresh berries, granola, and orange juice. And, of course, plenty of freshly ground and brewed coffee. Our immediate neighborhood is residential and was initially built in 1978. There are many mature trees lining our winding street, and most of the nearby homes are large and uniquely Midwestern in design. We are a short walk from the city-wide miles long bike path where you will share your walk with rabbits, squirrels, and birds. We are located centrally between the University of North Dakota and the 32nd Avenue South retail corridor and just a short walk from the Columbia Mall Shopping Center. The two main hockey venues in town, Ralph Engelstad Arena and the ICON Sports Center are between 1-2 miles away. There is ample available on-street parking or you can choose to ride the city bus which has several stops within a two-block radius of our home. Ours is a non-smoking home and expect our guests to comply with this rule. There are quiet hours between 10 pm - 8 am.
