Ensculptic House, Minnetrista
One of the most unique homes in Minnesota is the “Mushroom House.” More professionally referred to as Ensculptic House, this experimental house was built back in 1969, according to a blog about houses and their histories. Through the years, it passed from owner to owner until its most recent owners gave it a makeover. Once updated to a more modern format, this mushroom house is now a unique space for its new owners to visit, becoming a funky combination of aesthetics in the form of a vacation home.
John Hutchinson House, Faribault
This pink and periwinkle palace was constructed in Faribault all the way back in 1892, the same year the toothpaste tube was invented, according to the John Hutchinson House website. But these days it’s a vintage little bed-and-breakfast. The Queen Anne Victorian-style house features a handsome octagonal turret and wrap-around porch as well as six bedrooms and eight bathrooms. It even contains much of the original furniture. A vacation here is sure to bring out your inner Victorian, but don’t worry, there’s still modern-day WiFi.
