Property is as described. It is an older home, so its clean and comfortable, but does is not updated. Appliances are newer, yard fenced for the dog and two stall garage all nice. Owner could have some more information for the renter available.

Good proximity to May

This property is conveniently located near Mayo, the grocery and restaurants. It's a comfortable three-bedroom house with just about everything you would need. There were some basics missing, like a skillet, which I purchased and left behind for the next visitor. Instructions, i.e., how to operate the TV, garbage pick-up day and check-out details would have been helpful. It also took a bit to get the proper door code when checking in to the property. The interior is a bit dated and the house faces a busy, main road but the noise level (including trains and ambulances) is manageable. The owner is easy with which to work.

Worst VRBO experience

In a basic short summary: I HAVE NOT SEEN Pictured Property. I rented this property for scheduled brain surgery. My rental date was late night 10/8/18 - 10/16/18. An email was sent by owner on the evening of 10/7/18. I did not see the email until the morning of 10/8/18 (arrival day). I was informed there was a “plumbing problem” at my rented/paid for property and was being moved to a “nicer, larger house”. I replied the importance of my family being comfortable and the house being clean with the scheduled brain surgery. I also reminded the owner that we would have a late arrival and our dog, so the late notice left no options for us. The owner stated she forgot about the dog and it would be an additional pet fee. In addition to the cleaning fee already paid. We traveled 6 hours in unpleasant rains, arriving late night with a dog. When we arrived, our guts told us to drive by the original property I rented, which was literally on the next block of the same street. I was frustrated to see a car with Texas plates and lights on in the property. This house was occupied. We went to the property we were moved to. This property is NOT a property that should be used for medical visits. Maybe a starting property for concert goers, etc. The property was not clean, it is outdated and needs routine maintenance with deep cleaning. We supplied our own paper plates, did not use utensils, dishes, kitchen stove, etc. Shower tile bulge/ mold, etc. I did contact owner by text upon our arrival. She did refund part of the original cleaning fee that was charged and waived the pet fee that was not originally charged. As well as stating it was her fault and offering a full refund if we chose not to stay (it was now after 11 p.m.) We were left with no options at that point. The owner also offered a free ear wax candling, which is kind, however, it is not a compensation to be made in property management. Outside of the statement that it was “her fault”, it was not ever addressed as to why someone else was in the property I originally booked and paid for. We checked out of property early morning 10/14/18. After asking for early check-out, owner offered to refund 1 nights stay. I did ask for 2 night refund and it led to multiple texts of her not understanding. No energy/time with brain recovery. I do have pictures for VRBO. I do believe this property could be a good investment with educated property manager/class (see review 12/2017)

Nice house to stay

Some of the pictures are not up to date. Other than some different furniture arrangements house was very comfortable to stay. Clean and very comfortable beds. Had a little problem checking in, and due to early release from Mayo Hospital had to check out and leave 10 days early. Homeowner would not open up listing and show property as available. Paid for 10 days we weren’t there. Can’t always predict what the doctors and hospitals are going to do!!

I think we were blindsided! Turned on lights and it wasn’t even the house we booked. Rundown & dirty

Please tell me how you can rent one home through VRBO, get THERE, and it’s not the house you rented. For this price, I fully expected to get what we paid for. The picture you have posted above is NOT the house we were placed in. This was fraudulent. I expected stainless steel appliances but arrrived to find a dishwasher that didn’t work, a dirty gas stove and microwave, standard refrigerator, and the home furnished with garage sale leftovers. NO FAMILY ROOM as promised either. The property manager, Bao, offered to show me the property we DID book so I met her there. In broken English she explained that she was confused and she double booked this house so she placed us in the other house which was bigger. We went in and I was uncomfortable because there were obviously people staying there as there were women’s underwear hanging on the shower rod, and clothes and food unpacked, and it appeared that folks were settled in for the long term. This house was so nice, yet she insisted the house she gave us was nicer! Really? She said “I gave you better house. This house not nice!” Well, I thought it was VERY NICE. I couldn’t even find the house she substituted on VRBO. And, my text messages to her clearly outlined that I was not at all happy. Days later, I found the house she substituted on VRBO. The photos are absolutely misleading and do not depict the true condition of the home. Additionally, there is a heating issue with this house. It is not properly vented and even with the vents turned off, it was still 82 degrees upstairs while the thermostat was set at 70. The bedroom upstairs was not useable. Additionally, there are little things that attracted us to the original house we selected. There was a crockpot shown in photos, so we planned meals around this convenient option. No crock pot either. And, the paint in the house has been slapped on the walls for the most part, except behind the toilet and wherever they thought you couldn’t see. So embarrassing when we hosted a game get together for patients staying over the Christmas holiday. The house has algae growing across the front, untrimmed bushes, and generally unkept. I have actual pictures of the home we stayed in. There was nothing else available in close proximity to St. Mary’s Hospital so we were stuck. Please tell me where to send pics and the text conversation I had with Bao, the PM. We are looking into filing a complaint against VRBO and the property manager for fraudulent advertising.

Not a fancy house but just right for coming home and spreading out after a long day at Mayo.

This was a great location for our week at Mayo. HiVe grocery and Walgreens across the street, green belt to walk, run and bike on behind the house, 20 minute walk to Mayo (pick up the subway at the Dan Abraham bldg.). So nice to be able to prepare our own meals. Owners responded quickly to any question we had.

This house (It was a substitute for the one we had reserved, a change necessitated by water issues at the original place) more than met our (my wife and me) needs while I was at Mayo for surgery. It is an older property but is in good shape. The kitchen, bedrooms, etc. were just what we needed for ourselves and visitors, and it was a great place to host our relatives as they came in and out of Rochester. Nearby shopping (including a grocery store) is convenient, and the house is only about a 15-20 minute walk (5 minute drive) to Mayo's facilities. Although the house is near a main drag, we were not bothered by traffic noise. Bao made sure that the house had all the amenities that were advertised, and she was very accommodating as our schedule changed. She is not totally fluent in English, but can carry out a conversation and does well with text messages.

About the host

Hosted by Bao Fan

Host profile image
Hello! I’m originally from China and have been living in Rochester, Minnesota for 16 years — it has truly become my second home. I’ve been hosting and renting properties here for the past 11 years, and I’ve had the pleasure of welcoming guests from all over the world.

I enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds and take pride in providing a clean, comfortable, and welcoming space for everyone.

I’m also a big animal lover and have two adorable dogs of my own. I understand how much pets mean to their owners — they’re more than companions, they’re family. That’s why I gladly welcome guests traveling with pets, and I hope my home can feel like a second home for both you and your furry friend.

In the past, I struggled a lot because my English isn’t very good. I often had trouble communicating with guests, and sometimes that led to misunderstandings. It was painful — not because I didn’t care, but because I couldn’t find the right words to express myself. My heart has always been warm and open, but I often felt frustrated and even discouraged when I couldn’t connect the way I wanted to.

Why they chose this property

I chose this home because of its convenient location for guests visiting the Mayo Clinic. Since the platform asked me to select a neighborhood, I simply chose this one—because it truly works well for most guests coming to Mayo for treatment, checkups, or to accompany a loved one. It’s about a 15-minute walk to Mayo’s and to St. Mary’s Hospital, or just about a 5-minute drive.

The home is also close to a quiet neighborhood park and a shopping area. Guests can easily take a walk, grab groceries, or simply relax nearby.

One of the things I especially like about this house is the layout. The main floor includes three bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room, with all living spaces located on the main level. Getting into the house only requires stepping up one or two small steps, which makes it convenient and safe.

The home also has a fully fenced backyard, which is very practical for guests traveling with pets — they can safely enjoy the outdoors. Although the yard doesn’t have a deck, there’s a small area near the garage where guests can sit and relax, get some fresh air, or walk their dogs. It’s a simple but useful space.

What I feel most grateful for is having such kind and thoughtful neighbors — Becky and Paul. They often help me mow the lawn, take out the trash, and occasionally keep an eye on the house when I’m away. Becky even bakes delicious treats to share with the neighborhood. Their warmth and generosity are part of what makes this community so special to me.

What makes this property unique

What makes our property truly unique is its unbeatable location and thoughtful design. Just a short walk away, you’ll find Kutzky Park — a peaceful, green space perfect for walking, relaxing, or spending time with your pets. The home is also within walking distance to Hy-Vee supermarket, Walgreens, restaurants, and banks, which makes daily errands incredibly easy without needing to drive. Plus, both Mayo Clinic and St. Mary’s Hospital are just a 15-minute walk or a quick 5-minute drive away, which is ideal for patients and families seeking nearby care. The layout of the home — three bedrooms and a bathroom all on the main floor — is especially convenient for those recovering from surgery. We also welcome pets, with a fenced backyard that allows them to play safely. This combination of comfort, convenience, and location is what sets our home apart.
