Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Kim the host was very prompt on getting back with us on the questions we had. The location was great for us. The house was older but very clean and well stocked. It is on a busy street but the street noise wasn’t too bad. Overall great place to rent.

Amazing Stay!

No issues checking in early, very accommodating and sweet host. Home was very clean, host set out items for our use, living room had a wall full of toys for kids and board games and plenty of space for our party of 6. We will certainly return if we come down again. Thank you so much.

Super Clean

The house is super clean and welll stocked. Beds are very comfortable. Having a garage was very nice. The house is located near the lake and the park has very nice walking and biking paths. It is on a pretty busy street, but we really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect place to stay in Winona!

House was comfortable and very clean with plenty of space. Great views of the bluffs and located a short walking distance to the lake and park. It is located on the corner of a busy street, but still was private and an easy drive to all the area offers. Property owner immediately responded to our questions and the home had all we needed- we appreciated the breakfast items and the note with information regarding the house. We have stayed often in Winona at many other places, but hope we can come back and stay here again.

Clean and Comfortable

The home was very clean and had plenty of space. For anyone sound sensitive please note that that there is a busy intersection and train tracks near this house so you will have traffic background noise. I felt it was noticeable but not disruptive. The house is well cared for, and the living room is especially spacious with comfortable recliners.
