About this property

A Touch of Elegance At Jessie's Guest House

Welcome to Jessie's at Ibling's Family Farm. This updated home is situated in Brownsdale, MN located on a family farm site that has been in our family for more than 100 years. Named Jessie's after my grandmother who resided there. This location provides a beautiful venue for small get togethers, couples retreats or other special events.
We are 90 minutes south of the Twin Cities just off Hwy 56. We are less than 45 minutes away from Rochester, MN home of the renowned Mayo Clinic and less than 15 minutes from Austin, MN home of the Spam Museum.
In today's hectic busy world, let this be your escape from the daily grind and a place to recharge your batteries. Relax and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you. You can experience that top of the world feeling in the meadows of brilliantly colored wildflowers with Minnesota wildlife.
Enjoy the walking trails and explore all that nature has to offer. Have a morning cup of coffee on the beautiful wrap around porch. Plan a picnic out in the woods by the creek that meanders through the property. Take pleasure in a romantic candlelight dinner in our beautifully decorated home.
With 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in a fully remodeled home this is an ideal vacation getaway for girls night out, romantic retreat, business luncheons, bridal showers or other small events. There couldn't be a more perfect spot for your unique gathering. You are welcome at Jessie's, come see all the beauty that country living has to offer.

Comfortable home

Jessie's house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving. The space fit us well and was a great way to get us all together. My sister lives in Austin but doesn't have the room for us all to gather. This house allowed us room to cook together and have space to play games and enjoy each other. Thank you! games and

Lovely little country home

I had a friend coming to Minnesota from Florida and we wanted a quiet get away and Jessie's place fit the bill perfectly. It was a beautiful home with everything you could think of (except I couldn't locate any type of usb port to charge my phone). Would drumroll stay again! restaurateurs

Perfect Patio Parties

We loved it! It rained the first night, after that we had 3 gorgeous evenings on the patio hosting family for dinner. Meal prep in the beautiful kitchen was a breeze & the gas grill on the patio got a work out! All agreed their evenings were relaxing and they loved the house!

Family Get Together

Property was as advertised and more. Cozy home with so much charm. Loved the patio and the kitchen was a dream and well equipped. Will likely book again since I live out of town and property is close to my parents assisted living.

Lovely Property

This was our first time at this house and it totally exceeded our expectations! It was comfortable, clean and well equipped. Wish we could have used the fire pit and grill, but next time. Saw wild turkeys the first night and lots of migratory birds.

Recentering

The house was cozy and better than pictures give it credit for. I needed a place to recenter myself, this home was just that. The character of the place and amenities really helped relax my worries. I've stayed at many others, this one has ranked one of my top stays and the accomodations that were accessable made it such. As other reviews have said, I will be back.

Great getaway spot!

What a perfect place for a weekend getaway! Just what we needed for a girls trip. This house has quiet surroundings and is close to larger towns for shopping, restaurants, entertainment. Kitchen was perfect for making a meal in, LOVED decor and would highly recommend this location.

Very cute with gorgeous backyard!

Loved that each BR had a bath. House was very cute. Front porch was nice and backyard paver patio was gorgeous! Plenty of room in the house. It would have been even better if it wasn't right off the main road but it wasn't that busy most of the time.
