About this property
2 Blks St Marys Main Fl Beds Bath CoveredByFaith
Covered By Faith Rentals is proud to offer the Storybook home. Storybook home is unique since it is only 2 blocks from St. Mary's hospital and 9 blocks from Mayo Clinic. 2 bedrooms on the main floor and one upstairs. King bed in one main floor bedroom. Each other bedroom has a queen size bed in it. We also have a pack n play and bed side rail to use. The bathroom is also located on the main floor. And there is one full sized couch one person can sleep on in the living room. Over 2,200 square feet for you to enjoy. Relax in a safe neighborhood. There are 3 steps to get into the home, so it is easy access for most. Oak hardwood floors on the main level and fir hardwood floor upstairs. We are only 2 blocks from restaurants, a mall, and a grocery store. If this house is full please check out one of our many additional houses downtown.
A compact single-car garage is next to the house. Please park in the garage/driveway or you will get a parking ticket from the city of Rochester. Only permitted parking is allowed on the streets between 8am-4pm Monday through Friday. All other times you may park on the street. This is due to the closeness of St. Mary's hospital. 2-3 vehicles could park in the driveway besides the one in the garage.
The kitchen is equipped with a full size refrigerator/freezer, oven/range and cooking utensils, Keurig and regular 12 cup coffee makers, small electric appliances, a pot/pan set, baking pans, glassware, cutlery, Corelle dishware, plastic dishware for kids and a high chair, and also some paper plates for you to use due to the lack of a dishwasher. A basic selection of cooking spices and condiments is stocked in anticipation of your arrival.
There is a 'Smart' TV which has several apps to access YOUR personal Netflix, Amazon Prime, or other personal streaming TV accounts. You may watch TV in a heat/massage chair in the living room. There is high speed wireless internet service available throughout the house. There are alarm clocks at each bedside. Please also check out the assortment of DVDs, board games, jigsaw puzzles, toys, and books for your use. There is central air and heating in the house. The bathroom has a full bath with shower. The bedroom upstairs also has a Smart TV. There is high speed internet. Many guests work and attend school while staying with no problems.
In the basement there is a full size washer and dryer for you to use. There is an iron and ironing board available for you use.
No smoking is allowed in the house. Please use the back yard if you need to smoke. Pets are not allowed in the house, due to many people having allergies and medical issues. We have a rental certificate to rent this home legally to you.
Check in states 4pm but most likely you will be able to get in earlier. We will message you through VRBO when the house is ready for you.
We have been serving in the business industry since 2003. We are covered by faith and trust in Him. God has led us to this home to help you with your needs. Covered By Faith is run by a family not a cooperation. We care about you and your stay in Rochester. I was told by a couple of people that the house looks like it came from a storybook thus the home name.

About the host
Hosted by Jessica
Darin and I (Jessica) came to Rochester in 2000 after graduating from college at Bethany Lutheran College and at Minnesota State University of Mankato. We both come from small towns in Minnesota. We lived in California for two years from 2001-2003. We purchase our first home in 2003 in Rochester. We joined a church the same year. I also started my own online book business that same year as Darin continued working in the technology industry. We had our first child, Isabella, in 2005 and the blessings of children began and so did my second job of being a stay at home mom. We had Bryce in 2006. My health wasn't in the best shape to continue having children. When I was able to, we decided to try for Olivia and in 2010 she arrived. In 2011 Elana completed our family. She began Kindergarten in 2017, so it was my time for my next adventure of care taking by starting Covered By Faith short term living.
Why they chose this property
I said a prayer to God asking him "if I was suppose to start this business to help people, I will need a house" and in 2 hours we had the phone call stating we got this house. It was a week prior we looked at the house and never even put a bid on the house due to the price. God provided this house to me to help you.
What makes this property unique
Having the ability to walk to St. Mary's or the Clinic is a blessing in itself. Also having restaurants, a mall and grocery stores close by help. Only a couple of blocks off the main highway 52 make this house easy to find and get to.
