About this property

Hobby farm Country Getaway Close To The City (Guest room #2)

*****This is an owner occupied house, FYI.*****(my room is one the main level, two guest rooms on second level).

This room has a full size queen bed with a set of bunk beds (full size futon on bottom, twin size mattress on top).

Large country home on 30 acres just off Hwy 52 about 10 miles north of Rochester. 2 Large unused upstairs bedroom with each with two beds. If needed additional sleeping areas can be added to the room (I have couches that have pull out beds and air mattresses). I just recently put in new wood floors in most of the house (boy do my knees hurt!)...Now I'm working on finishing off the other projects

If you want to get away from busy city life this is the place for you! I have a 3 bed/2 bath house in Pine Island with 2 unused bedrooms (12' x 20') and full bath on the upper level that I would like see used and make extra $ to fund various projects I'm doing with the house and property. I have two cats (inside) and two dogs (mostly outside). The house is just off 52 out in the country between Oronoco and Pine Island (I have 30 acres). The other room upstairs is also open to stay in if there is not one else scheduled to stay in it . The bathroom upstairs would be shared with whoever is staying in the other spare bedroom.

I am a nurse at Mayo Clinic and work 12 hr night shifts. I am very mellow, easy going and easy to get along with. House has central air, woodstove, sauna, washer/dryer, large porch in the front and a deck in the back of the house. I also have a large vegetable garden, a lot of apple trees, tons of asparagus and berries during the non-winter months you are welcome to that too! On the main level is the living room, dining room, kitchen, my bathroom and my bedroom. The basement is is on the 'to do' list of projects I have planned

In the front yard there is also a gazebo I've been rehabbing. In the previous owner's 'heyday' wedding ceremonies were held in it!

Also in the front yard there is a small one room cabin I am rehabbing to make as a living space. In there is a queen size bed and two couches that pull out into beds. This does not have running water, not adequately insulated and for electricity I have an extension cord running from the house . It's a work in progress. I joke to my friends it is 1/2 star accommodations since it is a bit like camping out. During the warm months here it would be a great place to crash if you wanted to use to camp out, use it as a fishing or hunting cabin.

Must like dogs and cats. Cats will come in your room if doors are left open.

Not as clean as I would have liked and there was a strong smell, We just could not figure out. It was a place to sleep.

Nice affordable stay

Rosie is great host, very accommodating, and friendly. We stayed two nights. It's just like being at home, nothing fancy, just a comfy place with lots of outdoor areas to explore. If you like the country setting with horses and goats and dogs and cats this is for you. We forgot our fishing equipment but there is beautiful river running through the property.

Simple accommodations, great hostess

Our stay was nothing short of lovely. Rosie is a great hostess, and has a super chill environment. It's not The Ritz, but clean sheets and comfy beds and everything you could need! Dogs are great, kitchen is stocked and we are grateful to have spent some time here. Thanks, Rosie!

Great Hostess

Rosie was a great hostess. She was on vacation herself for the Labor Day holiday so we had the run of the house. Rose told us to help ourselves to anything in the fridge and stayed in contact with us while there. Our bedrooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. Rosie has worked hard on her remodel of this farm home and is doing quality work. It was fun to see her artistic, creative work. If you don't want to deal directly with her animals then make sure she is there when you are there. We did put goats back in that kept getting out and her dogs and cat shared the house with us. They were very sweet and affectionate. Rosie had very clear directions written for us to know where everything was and anything we needed to know about her animals.
