Place was cute, but could use a little work. Location to Mayo was great. A little disappointed the second bathroom was in the basement and unusable for my husband after his operation. Whitney was very helpful in whatever we needed.

Comfortable, Quiet and Conventionally Located Near Mayo Clinic.

Like our previous stay at 1303 Retreat a few years ago, this home was once again comfortable, quiet, and served as our home away from home, fulfilling our needs. We appreciated the home’s close proximity to the Mayo Clinic and its location across the street from a Catholic Church.

Nice stay.

We had a nice experience. While the home is older and in need of some more TLC, some of the upgrades they have made were very welcomed such as the main level bathroom. The beds were very comfortable and the whole house was very clean and we very much appreciated that. The neighborhood is very quiet and convenient to everything in Rochester. Thank you for a very pleasant stay in Rochester.

Nice Place to Stay

We are very pleased with our stay in Rochester. I had a procedure done at Mayo and it was much nicer to recover at this home then a hotel and cost would be about the same, depending on which hotel you stayed at. I would definitely recommend this place if your needing a place in Rochester, MN.

Why they chose this property

The 1303 Retreat is a cute and cozy home in an amazing location in Rochester -- it's safe being next to a school and a church, it's 1 mile from Mayo Clinic, and very close to Target, Walmart, gas stations, and many other locations.

What makes this property unique

-Complimentary K-cups, creamers, sugar, and coffee filters will help you start your days off right during your stay! A Keurig and full-sized coffee maker are both available to you.
-Our dreamy, super comfortable mattresses and pillows are fully encased in waterproof, dust mite-proof, allergy-proof, and bacteria-proof protectors. The mattresses have an additional waterproof mattress pad on top of this. The pillow protectors and mattress pads are bleached with the sheets after each stay, and the comforters are washed as well. You can sleep well knowing your linens are clean as can be!
-A Pack 'N Play with clean sheets (and an extra set!), sippy cups, children's utensils, and a high chair are in the home for your use. Even the most spirited children can use all of the bowls and plates, as they're shatterproof and microwave safe. :) We have three young children of our own; we know the importance of this!
-All bedrooms, the living room, kitchen, and one bathroom are on the main floor. For accessibility reasons, note the laundry room and second bathroom are in the basement.
