Comfy home

Stayed here for our time at Mayo Clinic. We appreciated the garage especially since there was a small snow storm. House was very neat, tidy , cosy & they offered coffee & water & while we did not utilize they also offer beer & wine for a nominal fee. We appreciated all the comforts of home away from home & bed was very comfortable as well. Host was very responsive. Will definitely stay again.

Dance Competition visit

This was a perfect place to stay for a week. My daughter and I were able to walk to the Mayo Civic Center and to downtown area with a 10-15 minute walk. The driveway is easy to drive into and park. The kitchen had items that made it easy to cook and prepare meals. A couple notes this house does not have a dishwasher so you will wash your own dishes. The garage is a little tricky to maneuver with a larger vehicle. it was a perfect place to stay for a trip to Rochester!

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!

Very close to Mayo. Lots of stairs

The house and area are great. I want to preface this by saying that I could have thought about this before reserving. This is no-way anything on the place itself. We went to Mayo to have a surgery, and property has several sets of stairs that proved to be challenging for the days after surgery. Again, this was an oversight on my side. Neighborhood is quiet and clean. Everything else was perfect.

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. The location was much more convenient to than expected. It’s within easy walking distance to the clinic. Thanks for a great stay.

Perfect house for our visit

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.

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

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.

Outstanding

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

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.

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.
