Great house plenty of amenities

We stayed here instead of a hotel room. Was a great decision. Much nicer to have our own area and be able to relax and not have kids running up and down the hallways like most hotels. We will be staying here again.

Wedding in Rochester

Two families with adult children stayed in this rental for a wedding. There was lots of space to spread out. We appreciated having two tables for eating. Barstools and a kitchen table for hanging eating breakfast and drinking coffee and a LARGE dining room table for dinner. The finished basement was nice for the adult kids to hang away from the parents and provided and extra space for sleeping. Kitchen well supplied, water pressure good for showers. Location is nice for the little amount of exploring that we did. The runner in the group appreciated the trails nearby. This is not a brand new house, things are older but it was clean. The description mentions the stairs and there WERE stairs everywhere. The original architect of the house made a unique, split level floor plan. The young adults this was not an issue. For three of the four old farts in there 60's it was noticed.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Darin and I (Jessica) came to Rochester in 2000 after graduating from college at Bethany Lutheran College and at Minnesota State University of Mankato. We both come from small towns in Minnesota. We lived in California for two years from 2001-2003. We purchase our first home in 2003 in Rochester. We joined a church the same year. I also started my own online book business that same year as Darin continued working in the technology industry. We had our first child, Isabella, in 2005 and the blessings of children began and so did my second job of being a stay at home mom. We had Bryce in 2006. My health wasn't in the best shape to continue having children. When I was able to, we decided to try for Olivia and in 2010 she arrived. In 2011 Elana completed our family. She began Kindergarten in 2017, so it was my time for my next adventure of care taking by starting Covered By Faith short term living.

Why they chose this property

In 2020 I got a phone call 5 minutes prior to my KTTC interview (about covid-19 and how it affected short term rentals) which is the local TV station here in Rochester MN stating they had decided from the open house who they were going to sell the house to. I told him I was never informed about an open house and didn't even know the house was up for sale. He said “Oh, sorry I thought I had contacted everyone who was interested in the house.” I was too worried about my interview and let it go as it wasn't meant to be. A month went by and at 6am I was reading my email from Zillow and noticed the address and said that address looks very familiar. Sure enough it was this house up for sale. A real estate agent bought it and then flipped the house. (But little did I know that till months later.) We were not going to be able to go see the house till 4pm that evening. By noon I received another email from Zillow.com for this house again with a $50,000 price reduction. My son turned to me and said “God did that for us so we could afford the house.” I told him he was right.
