About this property

Winstock Country Music Festival and many fun things to do in a small community.

Private entrance leads to the lower level of our home. View is of corn fields and pond and has a stone patio. Very peaceful setting. Apartment is spacious with well stocked kitchenette, dining room, living room with 55" big screen TV, sleeper sofa. full size sofa with love seat. Full bath and two roomy bedrooms both with queen size beds and one with a TV. Plenty of room for a group of six.

Winsted is the home of Winstock Country Music Festival and has much more to offer. The Luce Line Trail is located in the heart of Winsted which is a tarred walking/biking path that goes as far west as Hutchinson and as far east as Plymouth located just a few miles from downtown Minneapolis.

Winsted may be a small town, but it has lots to offer such as sky diving, four area wineries and a couple breweries just minutes from Winsted. Let us be your hosts for your next get-away or business trip.

Pleasant place near a pond

I had everything I needed. Easy access, safe parking, comfy bed, very yummy cinnamon rolls. I also enjoyed listening to the morning chorus of birds and the evening croaking of frogs. Winsted is very walkable. I'd recommend this VRBO to anyone.

Lovely get away location

We had a delightful stay in Winsted. The location was great for our needs, 10 minute drive to the bike path location. Nice, quiet backyard view. Sue was an excellent host, very accommodating of our later arrival. Large space for the 2 of us, very comfortable place to relax. Thank you!

Breathtakingly beautiful inside and out!

Susan and her husband were so kind and EVERYTHING was easy. My 4 year old cried when we had to leave so thank God we’re back in a week! Cleanest bathroom I’ve ever seen, softest sheets and towels ever, absolutely could not improve anything at all! The pics couldn’t do this property justice and it is such a nice area too! Can’t wait to come back!

Lovely spot in Winsted

Beautiful location on quiet street, sweet little town on the Luce Line Bike Trail. This location had everything we needed. AND some wonderful cinnamon rolls! (thank you Susan!) Clean, well stocked. While riding on the trail, stopped at the Crow River Winery which had wonderful pizza. We look forward to staying at this location again.

A little piece of Heaven

Just as described. Very quiet and clean. Could not ask for anything better. It's the little things that matter the most. From the fresh baked cinnamon rolls, to the night lights, to the TV's with lots of channels, to the very comfortable beds everything' was perfect. The owners are very nice. Will be back again.

Return Visit to Oasis in the Country

We had stayed here the week before and when plans changed, we booked it again for an additional 2 days. Plenty of towels and linens, plus double pillows. Both queen beds were comfortable and all the kitchen dishes and pans needed to cook a little or a lot. Sue is an excellent host, friendly but very non-intrusive. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Laborless Labor day weekend

I needed a break from my everyday life, so I decided to go an hour west to this gem in Winsted. I am SO grateful that I did. The property was so clean and welcoming. The cinnamon rolls delish and the beds ridiculously comfortable. I spent most of my stay outside fishing the lakes nearby. My hosts just so happened to be out with their boat and welcomed me aboard. I've never seen anyone catch so many Sunfish so quickly! I learned a few tricks while visiting with my host family. They're wonderful people. Thank you both again so much for such a relaxing and calming weekend. I definitely recommend this place... it's an oasis! Trina

This was a quiet peaceful stop on our journey across the US, really enjoyed the Cinnamon Rolls that the owner left for us and the sweet details such as adding a 5th chair to the dining room table so we had room for our whole family. Thanks for a great stay!

A Little Oasis in the Country

What a beautiful and restful place to stay. Located in a small MN town about 25 min. from Hutchinson and an hour from Minneapolis. The unit is a two bedroom, one bathroom located in the lower level of the house (walk-out basement) Guests have a dedicated parking space, a beautiful view of the back lawn and countryside, and wonderful private patio s[ace with table, chairs, and BBQ grill. All surrounded by beautiful flowers and the sound of the fountain. Inside there were board games, toys, a foosball table, and a giant TV with lots of satellite channels, The beds (both queen) were super comfy and guests have control of temperature in the unit. It was very hot outside when we stayed, but nice and cool indoors. The kitchenette had everything you need to make a meal and Sue even had cold water in the fridge and cinnamon rolls to greet us. She was helpful and friendly but also let us enjoy our space. We can't wait to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Susan J. Wagener

I am a Life Coach for marriage and family and the Volunteer Director of Lake Minnetonka Shores, a senior living campus. My husband works for Waconia Ford as a salesman for the past 30 years. We both enjoy people and enjoy our home very much and decided VRBO would be a good fit for us to bring in a second income.

We have raised five children and now enjoy our twelve grandchildren which includes two sets of twins. We feel very blessed to have our family and our health and enjoy our lives together celebrating 48 years of marriage soon.

Several wineries are within 30 minutes of our property where you can sample a variety of homemade wines and enjoy the atmosphere. One popular winery is the Crow River Winery that also offers food and is a beautiful place for a wedding.
