The house was perfect for a cozy winter weekend with three of my friends. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed to make for a very enjoyable weekend. The kitchen had everything we needed to make great meals. The beds were comfortable and we all slept wonderfully. Having two sitting areas allowed for us to spread out and enjoy some time alone while we read, puzzled or watched a movie. What a great weekend! We'll be back.

Great Stay in Wabasha
Had a great long weekend in Wabasha. We've been there many times, but this was our first stay at this property. It suited us very well and we'll likely book again next year.

Thank you for your kind review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back any time!
The house was better than described! Very clean and comfortable, and stocked with everything you could need- especially in the kitchen! Beds were super comfy and loved that each bedroom had its own mini split for heating/cooling. We had a family wedding in the area, and needed to prep some food, so the kitchen was perfect! Would definitely stay again!
While this home had some of the limitations of living in an old historic home, we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had our morning coffee on the front porch, we were able to put together a puzzle or two, and everything we wanted was in walking distance. Our hosts had great suggestions for dining out and things to do. A great experience!!
The house was very well stocked with comfortable sleeping accommodations! The outdoor space was our favorite with a cute back patio, multiple outdoor games and an abundance of seating!
I cannot say enough about this adorable home! We enjoyed the patio the big umbrella and the air-conditioning! It was in the 90's when we visited and the bedrooms and house were very comfortable. Let's talk about that Speakeasy, which sold me on renting the house, I had to see it. What a creative way to charm up an older basement. They certainly have a flair for decorating throughout the house, definitely have attention to detail. We appreciated having start-up coffee pods. Would definitely stay here again.
The house takes you back in time but has all the modern amenities needed. The town is charming and the people lovely. It’s a great place to disconnect and enjoy family time.
We loved our stay in this cute and charming brick house! Super quiet neighborhood and walking distance to restaurants and shops. Beds were super comfortable and the amenities were top notch! Would love to stay here again for our next visit to Wabasha! Thank you!!
We had a great stay in this beautifully restored home. The owners have created a charming, relaxing place to stay - with the added plus of being close to walks along the river, a gorgeous golf course, and Buena Vista Park. Perfect.
This is our 4th time staying here and we love it! Super clean and comfortable and within walking distance of downtown…all right on the Mississippi River! Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us again and again!

From the owner: “Thank you so much for coming back! We are so happy you enjoy our home."
The house is so wonderfully comfortable to stay in. Everything is clean and beautifully decorated with everything you might need readily available. A real gem!
We came up to see some friends. The house was so charming and had anything you could possibly need. The patio and fire pit were a great place to hang out. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful restoration of a 150 year old home!
Comfortable beautiful setting
We had a weekend stay during a family event, with ages from 45-10 years old. The property was immaculate, games provided for all ages. Amenities (laundry, kitchen, etc) all supplied. One of best VRBO/house rental experiences ever, and highly recommend!

Perfect for a girls weekend!
The house has everything you could need! Bring your toiletries and clothes and you’re set! Easy parking, perfect spaces to hang out and chat inside and out. We had the absolute best stay! One extra sweet touch was recommendations of restaurants/ activities from past guests. So unexpected and so cute.
This place has all the comforts of home! From the fully stocked kitchen to the amazing outdoor spaces, we were able to spread out and relax. Coffee in the morning on the front porch and social time on the back patio in the evenings gave us valuable family time. The house is well kept and has so much character. The neighborhood is quiet, so we were able to recharge for the next day's adventures. This is likely where we will book our stay for our next trip down.
I loved this house! The house itself was so cute with modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms. The furniture (all 3 beds and living room couch and chairs) were comfortable and everything was overall so welcoming! The house was extremely clean and in a fantastic area within Wabasha. Truly a wonderful experience!
We absolutely loved this house! Everything was just perfect down to the smallest details. And so so clean! Immaculate! The digital key pad worked perfectly and we felt so secure. The beds were very comfortable, including the Murphy bed and the extra memory foam sleeping pads. We appreciated the complimentary coffee very much, and the brochures about things to do. We had a wonderful weekend, and would absolutely stay here again if we were ever in Wabasha again. Thank you!
We have stayed in many VRBO places, but this property stands out as the best one yet! It is incredibly clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The cookware, beds and linens are high quality. You will feel instantly at home upon arrival. It is spacious yet cozy at the same time. It is clear John and Amy have carefully thought about the needs of their guests. They are fabulous to work with and genuinely care that people have an incredible experience. You will not be disappointed in this property. 😁
We loved this property. Very, very clean. Connie has literally thought of EVER amenity for your comfort. It is so charming and cute. Beds were great. Speakeasy was so fun! Make sure to play some Squirl Nut Zippers on the Bluetooth speaker down there!!! 😀 walking distance to downtown.
Connie was also very responsive when communicating. We will rent again!
