About this property

Cozy bungalow near downtown Prescott.

Waypoint Cottage is ideally situated just two blocks from Prescott's lively downtown and riverfront--close enough to walk, but far enough from the trains and nightlife that you'll still get a good night's sleep. You’ll love the privacy of having the entire place to yourselves in this charming bungalow which has been completely renovated. There are three guest rooms, a full-bath, a well-stocked kitchen for preparing meals, and spacious gathering spaces both indoors and out.

Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the amiable wrap-around front porch complete with a classic porch swing, our favorite spot for sipping morning coffee or a glass of wine before dinner. The living room is spacious with high ceilings and lots of natural light, reminiscent of the property’s origin as a one-room school house. Gracious furnishings and original artwork create a welcoming space for dining, game-playing, movie-watching, or just good conversation. The kitchen—which is stocked with all the necessities for serving meals including vintage Pfatzgraff dishes--has a refrigerator, stove, dishwasher, microwave, and central island. Sleeping spaces include two bedrooms and a finished attic. The master bedroom and the attic each have a queen-sized bed. The second bedroom doubles as an office and has a twin-sized day bed with a pull-out trundle. The full-bath features a vintage claw-foot tub with shower. There’s a fire pit in the fenced- in backyard and off-street parking for one vehicle.

A waypoint is a place where roads or rivers converge; in the case of Prescott, it's both. The St. Croix meets the Mississippi and Highway 10 meets Highway 35. Wisconsin meets Minnesota, and rural meets metropolitan. In fact, if you look up "waypoint" in the dictionary, you might just see a picture of Prescott! From Waypoint Cottage, you can explore all directions on the compass and find endless natural beauty, quaint river towns, and big-city attractions.

Perfect for Our Needs
The directions sent to my phone were precise, entry to the house was easy. I think we all were impressed by how well-maintained and clean the property was. There were 4 of us in town for a concert at Treasure Island, and this VRBO was WAY better than sharing a cramped hotel room. The house was nicely decorated, comfortable, with super-comfortable mattresses and pillows. A great night's sleep on a quiet street. The TV had a million channels, plus ability to log on to streaming services. We didn't use the kitchen or laundry much, but there was a nice fridge, dishwasher, utensils, pots/pans, a full laundry room, etc. Be aware it's an older house, so only one bathroom, which can be a challenge with four people. The bath was well-stocked with lots of nice washcloths and towels, but no place to set toiletries. The one tub/shower worked very well but is an old clawfoot tub, so might be tough for people to step into and out of. The house is in a great residential location, a short walk from restaurants along the river, the riverfront park, etc. I wish we had brought our dogs, as the house has a great setup for dogs. The backyard is fully fenced in. Fire pit in backyard. As carefully as the house's interior is maintained, I'm surprised there was little attention paid to the backyard landscaping. The houses on either side were pretty cluttered (which certainly isn't the fault of the VRBO homeowners!).

About the host

Hosted by Anne Larson

Host profile image
My husband, Mike, and I have been married for 38 years. We have three children and nine grandchildren (and counting!). We live on a hobby farm near another great river town, Winona, MN, which is about 100 miles downriver from Prescott. When we're not trying to keep up with the farm or the grandkids, we love exploring both sides of the beautiful Upper Mississippi River, and we have stayed at countless vacation rentals throughout the region. For 10 years we ran a top-rated vacation rental in Winona called the Village House Inn, and I served on Winona's tourism board for over 6 years. Our experience as both guests and hosts has guided us in making Waypoint Cottage just the kind of place we love to stay. We hope you will feel the same!

Why they chose this property

In January of 2022, Mike accepted a new job which required him to work in the Twin Cities a couple of days a week, so we decided to look for a property that was close to the Cities which could double as a vacation rental and a place for us to stay (along with our two dogs!) when he went in to the office. We knew we wanted to be in Prescott, so when this adorable little cottage popped up on Zillow, we bought it sight unseen the very next day. We spent the winter completely renovating and furnishing the cottage, and it's been our home-away-from-home ever since.
