We had a wonderful stay in this home! The home was clean and tidy.The kitchen is great and everything is labeled for easy location. The beds were very comfortable. And, the location was perfect. We went for a walk each morning with quick access to the walking paths on East and West Lakes. The host was very responsive and helpful. There was a cute sign with suggestions of things to do. We would definitely stay here again!

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.

Cute house, close to the lake and the University.

We were in town for College graduation and moving our daughter home. The house was very clean and decorated very nice.The kitchen was great and had everything we needed for cooking our meals.

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.
