We booked this place for a 3-day staff retreat and it worked perfectly. Everyone had their own room, and there’s was plenty of space to both work and relax in the home. Great location and the hosts were excellent to work with.
The host was so responsive and informative! Our stay was perfect! The home was so clean and everything was in awesome repair. The home is in fabulous condition and has everything you could possibly need. We had 9 adults, a 2 year old and a dog and we were 100% comfortable. We would absolutely stay again!
Stayed for four days at this 5 bedroom charming house in a quiet neighborhood conveniently located in town. The personal touches to the house were great and the owner was responsive to any questions we had both before check in and during our stay.
We had a blast in this amazing house. Lots of fun family games and meals. Thank you for the help keeping it a surprise for the youngster and allowing us to get things started before she knew anything.
This home was exactly what we hoped it would be. Close to Mayo, clean and comfortable, we throughly enjoyed this home and will stay here if we come back to the area.
House looks small on outside but inside is spacious and nicely decorated. Neighborhood is quiet and near Silver Lake, which is a nice walk. House was clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay.
The host was excellent and accomodating. We spent the weekend with a long time friend that is experiencing a difficult battle with cancer at the Mayo. The rental provided a comfortable worry free experience that provided an excellent central point for meeting up with others and providing access to local ammenties and attractions.
Very nice place and meet our family needs very well. Plenty of space to gather or spread out. The upstairs bedroom could be improved by adding a door between the room and the large attic/closet.
We had a lovely family gathering here. My son and his family live in the area. Allowed us to visit and have family together time with our kids from out of town. Very nice, clean, open spaces. Good communication.
Met in Rochester with 2 sets of grandkids - there was a lot to do in the area and we had a great time. Highly recommend the Nature Center! House was perfect for our needs! Thx!
This was our first time using a Vrbo accommodation and I don’t think we will be returning to hotels if we can be guaranteed the same host. Our trip was a health-related one so proximity to Mayo and comfort was key for a family of four and one fur baby. Alex was always available and prompt to our queries. We felt valued as guests and overall very much at home. The property is huge (perfect for large families) and well maintained. Thankfully, our trip had a good outcome on all ends and are forever grateful to Alex and his team for supporting it.
We came to town to visit a family member at Mayo. The home was just as the listing stated. The house is beautiful and has so much room…more than we could even use. There were lots of supplies for us and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We only needed to contact host about adjusting the temperature and he quickly responded and gave us guidance on that. I would absolutely stay here again and suggest it to others as well. Five stars!
This was one of the best VRBO experiences that we have had. Everything was so clean and the house was furnished with everything we needed. This was the perfect home base for my family during a recent family wedding in Rochester.
