About this property

Magical Nest Hideaway

We are located about 1-1.5 miles west of Mayo Clinic. You'll find us located in a beautiful, quiet and secluded neighborhood. We have a private entrance, a staircase and path to your lovely hideaway. The wooded area behind our home has lots of wildlife. It is not uncommon to see deer in the backyard, as many as six at one time! Sometimes a group of turkeys will feed under our deck, you can watch them just outside the windows of your studio apartment. We are often told of how beautiful and peaceful it is here. There is a covered patio and furniture to relax on in the evenings.

Loved staying at the Majestic Nest! Coffee in the backyard every morning watching the wildlife was an added bonus. Host and hostess Greg and Yvonne were very accommodating and catered to our needs! We highly recommend staying at The Nest when looking for a VRBO in Rochester!

The title summarizes it…..Magical nest…beautiful from moment we entered the neighborhood and drove in the drive! Greg is so kind, welcoming, caring, helpful, and a great communicator. Gave us excellent directions before and for our entire stay. The apartment is beautiful! Bed is so comfy. My husband and I were both there for Mayo Clinic visits. It is so easy to get Mayo Clinic and so wonderful to be able to come back and relax. We felt so supported yet very private. Beautiful music playing was a welcoming touch.What a blessing!Thank you Greg and Yvonne! You go above and beyond!

Perfect place for us all around!

Greg was a great host. The Magical Nest was exactly as described/expected. Great for 1or 2 people. It had everything we needed. Location was perfect as well. Nice quiet neighborhood and a shaded/private patio was awesome. The check-in/check-out process very simple/straight forward.

Studio was great with everything we needed provided. Only negative was hearing noise from main house & AC compressor when enjoying back yard. Backyard was still a huge plus!

Cozy apartment

This was a very nice one bedroom apartment. We were there for appointments with Mayo Clinic. Apartment had everything we needed for our short stay. Loved the patio area where we could sit outside on nice days. Was relaxing to listen to the birds singing and see all the turkeys and wildlife wander past. Host Greg was very kind and helpful. Very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. And did all he could to make our stay relaxing.
