Quiet retreat!
We loved our stay. It was quiet and comfortable and had everything we could have needed. Beds were great, kitchen was great. My husband loved the recliner to relax in between trips to the Mayo this week. Convenient, clean, and spacious. We appreciated a slightly later check out to accommodate the last appointment. Thanks for a great stay!

The place was perfect for us. Super clean and had everything we needed. The master bedroom was very comfortable. I loved the sheets, pillows and black out curtains. Slept very well there.

Great 2 day stay for Mayo visit.
The house was as described. A nice remodel of an older 2 story house. Very nice kitchen/dining area, big screen TV with couch and power recliner in the living room, etc. Having the garage was great as we had storms during our stay. A 12 minute walk to Mayo. Quiet area. The only issue was solved quickly….a mixup with the code numbers at our arrival. A call to the owners and he was there in 5 minutes to help out. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy & Comfy
We stayed 3 nights to go to appointments at the Gonda building, which was very close to the rental. The furniture was exactly what we'd hoped for, comfortable beds & living room furniture. Having a recliner is always a plus! In the future, this will be a rental we'll look to see if it's available.

CVMA Nationals stay
It was fortunate to have the garage to park our motorcycles in due to the record rainfall in Rochester. The deck was under construction which we were not aware of until arrival. Kudos to the owner for replacing old boards but an advance notice would have been nice. Suggest a bathroom fan be installed to avoid moisture from those hot relaxing showers!

We spent 6 nights while visiting Mayo. House was clean, comfortable beds, great linens (super fluffy bath towels) and well stocked kitchen. Close enough to walk to Mayo, which we did on several occasions. We enjoyed the back porch and fish pond too.

This place was everything that was listed and more. Quiet neighborhood. Short distance to Mayo Clinic. The king size bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. I wish I could take the mattress home with me. Definitely 5 plus Stars. We have to come back to Mayo in six months and I will definitely book the VRBO

perfect for our Mayo appointments
We wanted a place close enough to walk to the clinic. It's a nice older neighborhood and the house had been remodeled and looked so nice and clean. The kitchen had the utensils we needed to cook our breakfast and lunch. Bottled water was supplied for the kuerig coffee machine. Internet worked perfect and so did the tv. We will definitely stay here again if we have to go back.

Home Away From Home
This house was absolutely lovely. It was comfortable and charming and had everything we needed for a week stay. The pictures are accurate (if not, they don’t do it justice) and the location is super close to Mayo. They say you could walk, and you could, if it wasn’t cold or you didn’t have a disability. It was great having a garage to use because it snowed the first night we were in town IN OCTOBER! The only thing I would change about the house, if I could, would be that there isn’t a bathroom on the main floor. The comfy beds (firm, memory foam), location, and every need met, more than makes up for it!

Great, convenient location with just a 10-15 minute walk to the MCC and just driving minutes from Rochester's woonderful variety of restsurants. While the house is an older one, it has been updated very nicely and provided us a pleasant 3-night stay. Our host was top-notch, responsive

Look No Further
We've been staying in Rochester for a year and a half at hotels while getting through appointments and surgeries at Mayo Clinic. We've never felt at home or comfortable. Knowing I had two new surgeries coming, I decided it was time to find some comfort. I scoured reviews and photos on VRBO and kept coming back to this one. I finally booked it and it did not disappoint! So comfortable, clean and close to everything. We are staying again in July and we're so relieved to have a place that feels like a home away from home!

Wonderful place to stay
This is a great house. The bed in the main bedroom is comfortable. We didn’t use the second bedroom. The kitchen is nice and the location to Mayo and elsewhere is wonderful. The house is quiet and comfortable. It's important if you're staying here to understand that there is no bathroom on the main floor. The description says the full bathroom is upstairs and the laundry and half bath are downstairs, which can be confusing, making it seem like the downstairs is the main floor. It would be helpful if it said "basement" so guests know that every time you have to go to the bathroom, you are using stairs. And there are quite a few. Overall, as long as there is no issue with climbing stairs for the bathroom, it's a great place!

A nice convenient place to stay
My wife and I stayed here in early May. The photos on the site are very accurate. No surprises. The place was clean and comfortable. An added bonus (if you cook) was the non-stick pans were usable unlike some many other places we've stayed. The bed was comfortable.Neighborhood was quite. Location was pretty good and within walking distance to St Marys. Will definitely stay here again.

Lovely home for respite while at Mayo Clinic
This beautifully restored home provided a much needed respite as both my husband and I were at Mayo Clinic and Hospital for cancer treatments. The home is cozy, has beautiful woodwork, and makes efficient use of space. The amenities are modern with plenty of storage space, adequate kitchen facilities, and provided with just about everything that was needed for a prolonged stay. Having the garage was handy especially during the historic snowstorm in Rochester. The home is less than .5 mile from the Clinic and my husband was often able to get in his walk to the Clinic and hospital. Jill was so prompt in responding to any question and super nice to work with. We highly recommend this rental for your stay in Rochester. It was a comfort to us.
