Visiting family

We had a great stay. We usually stay at a hotel to visit our son in Rochester but this time decided to VRBO because we wanted to celebrate his birthday with family. The house was perfect. Well maintained, super clean, great location and the ping pong table was a surprise hit. We will definitely stay there again!

Lovely space for my family

We really enjoyed the space and location for our stay in Rochester for my son's appointments at Mayo. The host is kind and attentive and truly thought of everything for a family with small children! We loved the park across the street and the neighborhood duck couple!

Feels like home!

This is a charming, incredibly well maintained and updated home, complete wirh absolutely everything any group or age could need. Extraordinarily clean, the location is convenient, but far enough away from the bustle of being right near Mayo Clinic. The adjustable bed was super comfortable as well.

Great home for families with small kids

Great location (park nearby, close to downtown). Lots of little things that made it easier to have small kids, such as a gate blocking the downstairs (so small kids can’t fall down the stairs) and bumpers on sharp corners around the kitchen and family room. Highly recommend!

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.
