Restful
The location was great for my heart procedure at St. Mary's, so convenient. the kitchen was also helpful for meals and the house was really comfortable. We're seniors so we did use the rubber bath mat in the tub for showers to be on the safe side. Having the laundry was a plus for us. It was close to a great family restaurant across the street from St. Mary's. Jessica was so kind when we needed a later check out on the day I was released from the hospital. It is a good place to stay for sure.

Great place to stay for Mayo Clinic & St. Mary's visits
Jessica was great to work with and answered my messages promptly. The house was close to St. Mary’s and Mayo Clinic. We’ve been coming to Mayo for years and this is the first time we didn’t stay in a hotel. It was so much nicer having a kitchen (fully stocked) and space to stretch out, plus just having more privacy. We will definitely use a “Covered by Faith” property again.

Convenient for Mayo visits
The location is very convenient for going to the Mayo's St. Mary's hospital, but bring ear plugs. There are helicopters going over head regularly, so sleeping can be a challenge for light sleepers. I have a fragrance allergy that was a challenge all weekend due to the hand and laundry soap that had been used, so I sent a message to the host to consider changing those to unscented. And due to the age of the house, it was a challenge to reach the TP for someone with back issues. The house is close to many restaurants, HyVee and some other stuff, and the house is very nice for a weekend stay.

Perfect house for our stay. Husband had surgery at St Mary’s hospital and I was able to walk just 2 blocks to my bed! Loved having a full kitchen and room to move !! Made my lunch and dinner. Had a garage to park in so no ice on my windshield! It was absolutely perfect! Nice walk after spending the day in the hospital. Thank you so much for sharing your cute little home!

Clean, Convenient, Comfortable
We stayed at the "Storybook Home" while my wife visited Mayo. The house was clean, comfortable, and comforting. It felt like home. The kitchen was especially useful for us, and we loved the hardwood floors throughout. The location is quite convenient and the neighborhood is especially friendly. We enjoyed our walks (directly from the house) along the Cascade Creek path where everyone waved and said hello as we passed...masks, or not, it didn't matter. Jessica is a superb host and accommodated our special needs swiftly and efficiently. This would be our first choice if we need to return to Rochester for a visit.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

Host profile image
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

I said a prayer to God asking him "if I was suppose to start this business to help people, I will need a house" and in 2 hours we had the phone call stating we got this house. It was a week prior we looked at the house and never even put a bid on the house due to the price. God provided this house to me to help you.

What makes this property unique

Having the ability to walk to St. Mary's or the Clinic is a blessing in itself. Also having restaurants, a mall and grocery stores close by help. Only a couple of blocks off the main highway 52 make this house easy to find and get to.

Quarry Hill Nature Center is 4.6 miles away. Kutzky Park is only .4 miles away. Skyline Raceway (Go-Karts, Mini-Golf, Panning) is 5.5 miles away. Colonial Lanes Bowling is 1.6 miles. Bowlocity Entertainment is 3.3 miles away (Bowling, Arcade, Laser Tag). Rental at 800 West Silverlake Dr. NE, Rochester is only 2 miles away which has self-propelled boats on the river, canoeing or kayaking down the Zumbro River, or biking through the city. Here is the map for bike trails Restaurants are only .2 miles, Caribou Coffee is .5 miles away, HyVee groceries is .6 miles away, Walgreens is also .6 miles away. There are also little libraries around the neighborhood. Miracle Mile Shopping Center is .1 miles, there are also shops in the subways under Mayo which is .8 miles away, and Apache mall is 2.4 miles.

There are bus routes throughout the city and we do have lime scooters to use throughout the city not during the winter months.
