Quiet hideaway

Martha’s Place was fully equipped, very clean, and provided a great escape for our vacation. The neighborhood was quiet and the area was scenic and had opportunities for walking and hiking.

December weekend at Martha's

Martha's place was a wonderful place for our group of 4 adults while visiting family in the area. Clean! Warm and cozy with plenty of room to gather for meals and to be social. Great that we could bring our fur babies along. The grand kids came to visit and enjoyed snacks at the breakfast bar and playing at the park next to the house. We will definitely stay at Martha's place again.

Great Thanksgiving Getaway

The family booked Martha's Place to visit my oldest son that is working nearby during Thanksgiving. We were looking for a nice quiet place with character, and this place worked out perfect. Uniquely decorated and nestled in hills near Whitewater State Park. Kitchen appliances were very nice, and the family room had plenty of space for 6 adults. We had concerns about only having one bathroom, but it really wasn't an issue. We all agreed that we would stay there again.

Friend and family reunion

This was a wonderful property set in the bluffs near Whitewater State Park. It is near a variety of places to visit, including the WhitewaterState Park, Perrot Sate Park in Wisconsin,Winona, Lake Pepin to name a few. The home was very well stocked. We primarily cooked our own food which was easy as the kitchen had the things you needed.The host was very kind-(she left a wonderful dessert for our stay) All 4 of us completely enjoyed our time there and plan to come back in the future!!

About the host

Your host

Originally from Nebraska, I moved to Minnesota in 2006 and have called this home ever since! I love the scenery and the multitude of places to explore and see. The amount of outdoor activities are endless here and it's why I fell in love with Minnesota!

Why they chose this property

I stumbled across this little town by chance and I am so glad I did! My husband and I found this property and saw a diamond in the rough. Everyone in this small town makes you feel like a big deal! We couldn't have picked a better option to make our vacation rental debut!

What makes this property unique

You won't find too many locations that make you feel like you are out in the woods but still be right in the middle of all the action the town has to offer! The house was built in 1873 and still with some originality of it's structure and details, there have been some modifications that make it up to "date" but not to lose that charm!
