You will think you have stepped back in time with the warm colors and antiques reminiscent of a European estate. JuliAnne's Art and Photography studio are part of the space filled with inspiration and beauty. She would be happy to give you a tour of the studio. With a full kitchen and morning latte you feel the warmth of an Italian villa yet you are close to the cities of Bloomington, St Paul, and Minneapolis. You can find JuliAnne Jonker artwork by her name on social media or site. You will be staying in "The Studio" room with a king sized temper-pedic bed. This is the true artist loft experience, you are in the photography studio filled with antiques and backdrops for JuliAnnes timeless portraits. This is the most private room of the 4 available because it is on it's own level built under the art studio. It is a sprauling 20x30 space. great for sleeping in with the black out shades. Because of the high ceilings at the bottom of the stairs leading down to the studio ( 12ft), and because it is actually a working photography studio there is not a traditional doorway. We have a room divider which can be used as a privacy barrier but it’s actually the most remote and private spot we have. The Studio is usually booked quickly so grab it while you can. PS The space is available to rent for photography or video through JuliAnne Jonker Fine Art but cameras and video are NOT allowed with an AirBNB stay. You will have access to the shared commons areas and kitchens, your private room and bath as well as the porches and outdoor grounds. There is one parking spot reserved in the driveway per reservation. JuliAnne is usually around to help out with directions and suggestions for local activities.
