Hill Street House is the quintessential river-town residence, located within walking distance of Fountain City's quaint downtown, legendary pubs, and riverfront, but just far enough from the highway and trains to still get a good night's sleep. Perched snuggly on the bluffside overlooking the Mississippi River, you'll see an ever-changing panorama of river boats, barges, and birds in flight against a backdrop of Minnesota bluffs in the distance and a jumble of rooftops below. Guests have access to the entire upper floor of this two-story duplex, as well as outdoor spaces, including a private deck with river views and the adjacent side lot/fire-pit area, also with excellent views of the river and the town.
Children and dogs are both welcome! We provide kids' dinnerware, books and toys, highchair, and a pac-n-play. Dog water/food bowls are also provided.
Historic Fountain City is located on the Great River Road National Scenic Byway, just 10 minutes from downtown Winona, near galleries, shops, wineries, breweries, museums, and endless outdoor recreation and scenic beauty.
Convenient street parking is right outside the door.

Anne’s spot is amazing. The view of the river (& sunrises & sunsets) is spectacular. The kitchen has everything you need. The side porch was also a great place to sit & look out at the river. Communication with Anne, the check in process, and check out directions all went smoothly.Definitely would recommend this spot to others!
The cottage and amenities were as described. We were very impressed with cleanliness of cottage. Hosts provided everything we needed for easy check-in.
Wonderful stay. Property was very clean and well maintained. Quiet neighborhood in a great location. Great river view. Nice bed and well equipped kitchen. Would highly recommend. Check out Kinstone a bit North for a unique attraction.
We discovered Hillstreet House last year when we were having some renovations done in our home. We loved it so much that we decided to retufn for the Holidays this year. It is very inviting, cozy, and relaxing. The decor and furnishings are lovely. The kitchen has everything needed for cooking. The view of the river and bluffs is outstanding. We especially appreciate being able to bring our fur babies. We enjoyed exploring the unique restaurants and stores and getting to meet some local folks. We will be returning!
We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. The unit is clean, comfortable and well equipped. Deck was perfect for leisurely meals. River view was a delight.
The property was very clean, cozy, and comfortable with great views of the river and the town of Fountain City. We loved the porch and close proximity to many state parks and hiking trails. Would highly recommend this place to others.
My husband, Mike, and I have been married for 39 years. We have 3 children and 10 grandchildren. We live on a hobby farm near Winona, MN. When we're not trying to keep up with the farm or the grandkids, we love exploring both sides of the Upper Mississippi River. We've stayed at many vacation homes in the region and been hosts for over 10 years. We try to make our rentals just the kind of place we love to stay at. We hope you will feel the same!
