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.

Great hosts that were attentive to our needs. Beautiful location. Beautiful rental unit. Perfect for our needs. Will definitely book again when we are in the area.
The hosts were very accommodating and thoughtful. Despite it being in a lower level walkout of their home, it was very private and peaceful. Updated and well equipped for an easy stay.
Very nice for a couple or single in a very nice quiet neighborhood. Short drive to downtown and restaurants. Nice landscaping and private outdoor patio area.
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.
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!
Clean room. 10 minutes from Mayo. Be aware of steps down to the entrance of room. Steps are not very well lit and steep, if you have any issues walking I would be wary. Experience of being at VRBO where owner lives on premises was not for us. Also, paid at total of 360 for 5 nights, but was able to move appointments around at Mayo so only stayed 2 nights. Thought the owner would provide some type of refund or discount but they did not. I completely understand that I had rented for full 5 days so that's what I owed, just thought under the circumstances they would have done a little something is all. Owners did a very good job providing detailed house rules.
What an amazing little hideaway! It was in a beautiful neighborhood and perfect for our visit to Mayo. It was the perfect size for the both of us. We will be back!!
Can't say enough about this place and the owner, hands down! Easy check in/out, beautiful setting/neighborhood, extremely clean, very quiet, and owner is very respectful. I will definitely be back next time I have to come to Rochester! Thanks for a great stay!

We stayed here while we had some testing done at Mayo, and it was an excellent place to stay for this. The kitchenette is adequate for cooking simple meals, and the furnishings are nice. There are steps around to the back of the house where the apartment is, so if you are having major surgery, this may not be a good fit for that purpose, but otherwise, it is an excellent place to stay.
The space was clean spacious and inviting. The yard offered beautiful view. The host was very nice easy to work with. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, all with patios of course. It was the perfect place for a quick weekend getaway.
The hosts were great with communication being on the great side also. The venue was extremely clean and welcoming for our stay. The 30 some turkeys in the backyard was pretty cool ! Overall a terrific stay and if we have to come back will stay here!
I am so impressed with this property. It was exactly as advertised. The bed and linens very comfortable. The home is a little oasis in the middle of Rochester. As a patient at Mayo Clinic I am a frequent flyer. I will absolutely stay again!
We were in Rochester , MN for an appointment at the Mayo Clinic. Not the best reason to have to take a trip, but our stay at this studio was truly amazing. Clean, comfortable, great location, and every thing one would need right on site. Would highly recommend a stay at this property whether traveling for fun, work, or other.
We had a great experience. Greg and Yvonne are awesome hosts. The weather was gorgeous while we were there. Great for walking. 3 of the mornings there were deer and turkeys came to visit. Peaceful and cozy.
