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.

Wonderful!

Our stay at the Clover Cottage was absolutely delightful. The home is welcoming and well stocked for cooking at “home”. It caters to families and was thoughtfully stocked for those with young children. The location is perfect with access to the lakes. We will make this a routine stay on our trips to Winona, MN.

Long weekend in Winona

I booked Clover Cottage for myself and my husband and some friends. Our friends had to bow out, but we decided to still go on the trip. We're glad we did. The house was well appointed, well furnished and clean. I enjoyed my stay Clover Cottege

Pickleball Weekend

Cozy, well kept home! In town with another couple for a pickleball tournament and it was perfect for us. So much better than staying at a motel! Everything we needed was there and all went very smooth. Beds were comfortable (that's a big deal for us), water was hot and we enjoyed visiting and watching a little TV in the cozy living room. We would stay here again. Maybe next year for the same tournament!!

Wonderful Weekend

This home was perfect for our weekend visit to Winona. Our group of 4 women had plenty of room to relax, enjoy meals, and sleep in the house! It is central to all locations in the city and a block from the walking path at the lake. Susan responded quickly to all questions and even had the trundle set up as the fourth bed before we arrived. I have never seen a rental as clean as this one!!
