Mom’s House

Such a wondrous find. In town with my own near octogenarian mother for tests at the Mayo, she had absolutely no problems cruising around this absolutely gorgeous home with her walker. Space galore!! She was sure to point out the pinch pleated drapes and sheers, the original hardwoods, and the absolute down home feeling. In fact, she said she “could live here if my home wasn’t in Illinois.” We were only two but this space is phenomenal for groups of 2-12, or more.Less than 10 minutes from the Mayo, in an extremely quiet neighborhood Mom’s House has many modern updates with the homespun feel of going to “Grandma’s” house. Games galore for kids/adults of all ages. The entire basement is such an incredible Rec Room!!! The small, well thought out touches are just unbelievable. Cannot recommend this home enough!!!

BEAUTIFUL HOUSE NEAR MAYO CLINIC

“Beautiful house, fully equipped, clean, spacious, and comfortable, close to everything, just as described. The master bedroom has a king-size bed that can recline. The house is a 5-minute drive from the Mayo Clinic and a 30-minute walk. It’s also a 10-minute drive from St. Mary’s Hospital. Lovely surroundings with beautiful parks. Colette, the host, is super attentive, kind, and always ready to help if you need anything extra. It truly feels like a home away from home. I highly recommend it.”

Home away from Home

It was a great weekend!! We went to Rochester for my daughter's Dance Competition. We had to be there for 3-4 days and hotels were just too expensive. The house was great. It was like going to stay at grandma's house with a few modern updates. Check in was extremely easy with no issues. We saved a ton of money from not getting a hotel and saved on going out to eat because we just bought groceries and cooked there. It was in a cute labor very close to the civic center he. Also loved all of the board games, ping pong table, and the four season porch. We definitely will be renting this place again. It was an amazing experience for my first time using VRBO!

The home was perfect for our family siblings get together. We are all senior citizens and appreciated everything was so very clean & perfect for the 5 of us. Colette was very responsive & even provided an out door grill when we inquired if there was one. It was an extremely quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed a walk around the lake which was so close. Would highly recommend the property!

The home was immaculate! We felt right at home as soon as we walked in. All of the extras around the house was very thoughtful. The kitchen had every utensil we would have needed to cook anything.The livingroom was very comfortable with more than enough furniture for a family, there was only 2 of us. The master bedroom bed was very comfortable. We had good night sleeps every night. The adjustable bed was very nice!We had fun playing ping pong even though my husband cheats and won every game.The flower pots outside were beautiful. Such a nice touch.We come to Mayos frequently and we will definitely check for availability. Thank you Colette for making this stay so comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Colette Rice

Host profile image
Rochester is my hometown but I have also lived in New York, Florida and Ohio. I have been staying in VRBO's for over twenty years. Some here in Rochester for Holiday stays, at various Minnesota Lakes for annual family Summer vacations, Winter getaways in Florida and California trips to visit Family as well as travels to Italy and Costa Rica. A couple years ago, semi retired, I moved back to Rochester and recently bought a ranch style, family house to host my own VRBO. I hope to use my vast experience as a guest to be great host.

Why they chose this property

I so enjoy traveling and love nature and outdoor recreation but also crave city culture, theater, shopping, art and fine dining. Family has always been a top priority. With that in mind, I chose a house in a great location that resembles what I look for when I'm traveling. Convenience, centrally located with easy access, family friendly and extra room.. My goal is to provide a comfortable , carefree, fun environment for folks visiting my hometown.

What makes this property unique

Aside from the convenient, family eccentric location, this roomy ranch style home has just three steps to enter the house with convenient First Floor living. A roomy, flowing layout creates a nice atmosphere of togetherness and/or solitude. The adjustable bed and TV in the master bedroom is a must for anyone in recovery who needs short term care and bedrest or just a great place to read or watch a movie before bed. The kitchen has most of anything you might need for cooking and dining and features all new appliances.
In the basement is a good ping pong table and a fun playroom for the kiddos. A quaint patio is great place to relax, enjoy the peaceful out doors or visit and play games.
