Cute home

I brought my mother to Rochester for a procedure and the home was quite nice. Hard wood floors and comfortable accommodations. It was 20 below with the wind and yet stayed warm. Communication was quick and helpful. I would strongly recommend if you need a place to stay. 👍

A cozy little stay

Overall a comfy, cozy stay. Would consider returning with the only issue being we wish there was a king bed. The queen was a bit too cramped to be comfy.

Comfortable place to stay while at the Mayo Clinic.

My spouse and I checked in with our dog. It was a great neighborhood for walking fido. Silver Lake park was down the street. It was a short drive to St Mary’s Hospital where my spouse was admitted. It was nice to have laundry facilities in the basement and a garage for parking the car.

Perfect for our need

We stayed at the property while visiting friends in the area who had gathered for a fiber arts retreat. It was perfect for the two of us, though another couple would have fit nicely. The location was nice; close to downtown and also to the trails along Silver Lake. The property owners were instantaneous in their responses. The property was clean and had all of the essentials for our 6 night stay.

Best Place

I’ve stayed in several rentals all over, I have to say this is the best one! Very clean, comfortable, accommodating(lots of extra blankets, towels, kitchen items like spices, oils, even coffee) they even set up “Alexa” ! All the TV apps to watch & pet friendly with pet friendly ice melt! The details of everything really made this rental experience top notch, very quiet neighborhood & easy access to wherever you need to go in Rochester! We will diffently be back!

Nice Neighborhood

Me and my husband stayed here for a week. This property had everything we needed and we had no issues. On the day we arrived in Rochester I realized that I booked the wrong arrival day. I called and messaged the property owner and got in touch with them immediately. Thankfully the property was available that night and the process to add the extra night was very easy, it was done in about 10 minutes.

Very cute and comfortable!

My mother and I were visiting and we used to live in this neighborhood. This house is centrally located and close to Silver Lake if you like to take walks/runs. This house has been updated and the kitchen is stocked with whatever you need if you want to do some cooking. Beds are very comfortable and rooms are spacious. The outdoor patio is also great!
