Stay in the Old Hauenstein Brewery on the 1st level

Stay in a real brewery built in 1891 where they brewed the Hauenstein beer until 1969. Remodeled in the authentic rustic industrial style of the era, rent the lower level unit with 2 king bed romantic rooms, one bathroom, a common area parlor with wingback chairs, table & coffee bar. The private upper garden (shared with owner) has a fire pit, outdoor cellar, and two dining tables surrounded by forest and fire-flies. The building is surrounded by an underground creek and is partially built into the earth, so it is naturally cool, and does not need air conditioning (No A/C). Please note there is NO Full Kitchen, just mini fridge, microwave and coffee bar. It is a 7 min walk to Schell brewery and 4 minute drive to downtown. Ths is a historic building in a historic residential neighborhood accessible by 5 steps at front door. Host lives on upper levels. Please contactus for any questions.

Spacious, lovely, and historic

We absolutely love this living space; located in the quaint and quiet town of New Ulm, this place is built inside the original Hauenstein brewery building. Easy access and check in, immaculate inside, spacious (2) bedrooms with fireplaces, and a generous common area with essential appliances for your stay. Walking distance to the Schell’s Brewery. We can’t wait to go back!

Cousin Weekend

The place was a rustic looking environment. We loved it. The 2 rooms had 2 king sized beds with a fireplace and ceiling fans. The beds were so comfortable. The bathroom was very clean. Plenty of towels. It was nice that the owners left goodies and a few beers for us to drink. We would stay here again in the near future. Thank You!!

Super get away in a unique building

The Old Hauenstein Brewery was a great oasis for our exploration of MN. It was quiet, clean, well furnished with every amenity we needed and more. It would be a super getaway retreat for 2 couples. The bed was incredibly comfortable. We loved the photos, blueprint and doors from the old brewery. We visited New Ulm to see the MN Music Hall of Fame and found a lovely small-town-America downtown surrounded by lots of history (great local history museum). It is an easy drive to the Lower Sioux Agency in Morton to learn about the Dakota War and they provided a super map to explore additional Native American sites. Our dive into MN history was accompanied by a visit to the Schell Brewing biergarten and some German food at the Turner Hall Rathskeller. A very enjoyable weekend. Everyone we met and talked with were super nice and friendly.

Nice renovated historical place, but lacking a few things

The place was lacking convenient comfortable seating inside and out for the three of us. It would be nice to have a patio area by the entrance of the room to just step out for a morning cup of coffee or enjoy the weather outside. Otherwise, you had to walk the long way around the building to the patio area, which is shared with the owners. Felt like we were intruding or would be watched as there are big windows of the owner's dining room by this shared patio area. Inside, sitting on the stools by the table could be tolerated for a short time. Not a place to relax and chill. Snacks provided were expired. Showers were nice. Beds were comfortable. We were accused of stealing a mug, which for some odd reason was found behind the frig. Interesting that it didn't break IF it fell back there as the flooring is concrete. The accusation seemed suspicious. We left the used mugs on the countertop. Not near the frig or edge of the counter. Nonetheless, I'm glad they found it. They would have charged for a full set of 5 mugs to replace. Beware of this. Don't take anything on purpose or accidentally. You will get charged. No apologies was given after the mug was found. Will not stay here again.

This place checked all the boxes for cool. The ambiance of an old brewery really set the mood for a weekend in New Ulm. Right away we were impressed by the hospitality of free beer and snacks. The size of the rooms were impressive. We were so appreciative of the incredibly comfortable beds. I have bo doubt that we're going to stay here again.

Beautifully remodeled, and a very walkable area. Even though it was chilly, we could easily walk downtown and to Schells. The sleeping rooms are very posh and cozy, but there really isn’t a common area to sit on a couch and sip coffee.

Great Property! Just two of us for the weekend, but there was another large bedroom with a king bed as well. The place was recently renovated and looked immaculate. The fridge was stocked with water, sparkling water, and even a couple Hauenstein lagers. There was also plenty of coffee and snacks. Great place to stay and enjoy the local parks, breweries and restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Fabulous!

Our stay at Hauenstein Brewery was so much more than we were expecting! Mojra is so welcoming! Even the neighbors are super friendly and excellent ambassadors for New Ulm! The VRBO is beautiful and very comfortable. Mojra had snacks, coffee, water, even Hauenstein beer available to us for no extra cost! The grounds are beautiful and have so much history. This VRBO is a must-do for history buffs especially if you're a brew fan!!

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed the uniqueness of this place! Very clean. We loved the unique touches in the rooms- the bricks, the old cooler door. Very cool! There is no AC, but it did stay cool. Wishing there was a sitting area with TV in the main shared space. Also would be cool if there was a little table and chairs to sit right outside the door to the space instead of having to go clear around the back. overall this was a great place to stay! We would be back.
