Perfectly met our needs

We were in town for extended medical appointments at the Mayo Clinic. This house was perfect for our extended stay. We had our two dogs with us. It really worked well for us and I highly recommend this property.

Never again.

I’m going to honest here as we have stayed at many VRBO properties in the past. We had to leave after the first night. This is an old, unimproved house that in our opinion should not be listed on VRBO. The furniture looks to be as old and unkempt as the house. It is a pet friendly house but it had not been cleaned for who knows how long. We immediately had to cover the two recliners and the sofa with sheets because animal hair was all over them. The floors were atrocious and we had to dry mop them to pick up the disgusting amount of animal hair. Several surfaces had not been dusted. There was animal hair on the comforter of a bed. The other bed had animal hair on the sheets. The tub/shower looked disgusting. We didn’t use it. The host left a note on the table that said everything in the house is for sale. Honestly it looked like an indoor yard sale. We’ve been told we will be refunded all fees. That’s fine but we believe this house should not be an option on VRBO. The reviews are misleading. I doubt seriously that anyone would give this place a 5 star review but that’s what we saw when we were looking for a property. If I could give a 0 star rating , I would.

Spacious home / Close to Mayo

Stayed one week. Chose this house for the large area to spread out, recliners in living rooms and close to Mayo. The furniture and beds were comfortable. Firm, medium and soft mattresses to choose from. Just a 7 minute drive to Mayo. Great location as shopping and restaurants directly across the road. I agree with other reviews it is an old house and a bit dusty, but not dirty. We had a couple items that needed to be replaced. Jessica was at the door with replacements within 60 minutes. Two bathrooms and in house laundry sealed the deal. I would recommend this home, if you can over look a bit of dust, as the amenities, comfort and spaciousness of the home make up for it. I would definitely stay again!

Large space

Jessica, the manager, was excellent and responded almost immediately. The house was very big. The house was very old. New floors very nice. HOwever, it looked like a thin coat of paint covered everything with either dirt or old colors bleeding through. The large bathroom was a little yucky behind a "make shift "pocket door". So bathroom privacy was mediocre. Lots of towels! Back of couch in the middle was broke and kinda of smelled. Dirty mask under a recliner. Vents covered with thick dust. This house served it's purpose. I loved how much space it provided. The kitchen was well stocked with all our needs. It was easy access to Mayo clinic. The price was fair for what we got, I just wish it was a bit cleaner.

OK house.

The house was OK. It's an older property. The steps for 2 of us were not the easiest to manage as we've both have had strokes. While we are not really handicapped, except for having to always have to have hand rails to go up & down upstairs, which the property has. The stairs are quite steep. We left a note about needing a few minor things for the manager to improve on for the next people looking at this property.

Wedding in Rochester

Two families with adult children stayed in this rental for a wedding. There was lots of space to spread out. We appreciated having two tables for eating. Barstools and a kitchen table for hanging eating breakfast and drinking coffee and a LARGE dining room table for dinner. The finished basement was nice for the adult kids to hang away from the parents and provided and extra space for sleeping. Kitchen well supplied, water pressure good for showers. Location is nice for the little amount of exploring that we did. The runner in the group appreciated the trails nearby. This is not a brand new house, things are older but it was clean. The description mentions the stairs and there WERE stairs everywhere. The original architect of the house made a unique, split level floor plan. The young adults this was not an issue. For three of the four old farts in there 60's it was noticed.

Medical stay

No steps was great after surgery. Shower good in main bath. Maybe a dishwasher would be nice and less old scrubby tools laying around the sink. Great dining area. Heater/ thermostat worked very well. Good location to get to Mayo.

Son's Wedding

Our son was married in Rochester and even though we only live an hour away, we needed overnight accommodations. We had family coming from Des Moines, Phoenix, and California. This was so much better because we had additional time together. And it was the same price as the hotel they picked for one room (we would have had 4). Thank you so much for making a hectic time much easier.

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

In 2020 I got a phone call 5 minutes prior to my KTTC interview (about covid-19 and how it affected short term rentals) which is the local TV station here in Rochester MN stating they had decided from the open house who they were going to sell the house to. I told him I was never informed about an open house and didn't even know the house was up for sale. He said “Oh, sorry I thought I had contacted everyone who was interested in the house.” I was too worried about my interview and let it go as it wasn't meant to be. A month went by and at 6am I was reading my email from Zillow and noticed the address and said that address looks very familiar. Sure enough it was this house up for sale. A real estate agent bought it and then flipped the house. (But little did I know that till months later.) We were not going to be able to go see the house till 4pm that evening. By noon I received another email from Zillow.com for this house again with a $50,000 price reduction. My son turned to me and said “God did that for us so we could afford the house.” I told him he was right.

What makes this property unique

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.

Quarry Hill Nature Center is 5 miles away. Kutzky Park is only .8 miles away. Skyline Raceway (Go-Karts, Mini-Golf, Panning) is 3.6 miles away. Colonial Lanes Bowling is 6.4 miles. Bowlocity Entertainment is 5.5 miles away (Bowling, Arcade, Laser Tag). Rental at 800 West Silverlake Dr. NE, Rochester is only 3.7 miles away which has self-propelled boats on the river, canoeing or kayaking down the Zumbro River, or biking through the city. Restaurants are only .4 miles, Starbucks is .8 miles away, Walmart groceries is .8 miles away. Shopping Center is .5 miles, and Apache mall is 3 miles.

There are bus routes throughout the city and we do have lime scooters to use throughout the city not during the winter months.
