Great weekend getaway with friends.

We were looking for a place for friends to meet for a weekend get-together. This place was perfect for us! The wooded setting was very nice and the house is still close enough to town to make things very convenient.

Peaceful nature

We had a wonderful stay and the dogs loved the trails in the woods. Chocolate, the neighbor’s horse was a sweetheart, as was Zippy the other neighbor’s dog! The space was great and we enjoyed having the loft to puzzle in and watch movies. We will be back:)

Beautiful Setting

Stayed 3 weeks. It was wonderful. Especially liked the trails for hiking with our dog. It was close to Rochester and Stewartville had a nice grocery called Fareway. Also had a good place for pizza called 2 Brothers. My son liked the proximity to Anytime Fitness too.

Restore by the Fireplace

Our family loved our stay! The place was perfect for our family of five and dog. We built fires in the fireplace, grilled chicken on the grill, roasted marshmallows over the campfire, took king walks on the trails and played a lot of games of darts. We also enjoyed driving up to Rochester to visit Cafe Aqui. Highly recommend this spot.
