Plenty of room in relaxing, quiet neighborhood

This was a perfect spot for our family. There was plenty of room for us--the beds and sofas were very comfortable. We loved spending our mornings on the porch. The teens especially enjoyed their short walk to the lake to rent boats.

Stayed in Winona with a girlfriend and attended Ashley for the Arts. Easy commute to Arcadia, WI. Only one complaint and that was our lack of time to take in all Winona has to offer. The VRBO had everything we needed and then some. Cute place to stay, walking distance to Lake Winona and a few blocks to WSU. Highly recommend.
