You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family friendly in the peaceful heart of town

Enjoy a fully renovated entire home rental in walking distance to one of the town's two main lakes, with paved paths for walking and biking. The home has 100 year old original wood floors, an electric fireplace, and is bursting with character - a visual delight. Enjoy relaxing on the porch swing or seasonally picking and eating various fruits from the yard. Located in a quiet neighborhood, yet convenient to everything in town. You can even walk to - pick up pizza, a WSU baseball game, or the town's outdoor bandshell.

Plenty of room in relaxing, quiet neighborhood

This was a perfect spot for our family. There was plenty of room for us--the beds and sofas were very comfortable. We loved spending our mornings on the porch. The teens especially enjoyed their short walk to the lake to rent boats.

Stayed in Winona with a girlfriend and attended Ashley for the Arts. Easy commute to Arcadia, WI. Only one complaint and that was our lack of time to take in all Winona has to offer. The VRBO had everything we needed and then some. Cute place to stay, walking distance to Lake Winona and a few blocks to WSU. Highly recommend.
