We love staying at Charlie’s

This was our 2nd trip to Charlie’s cabin and it didn’t disappoint. Every detail was well-thought which made for a very comfortable stay. Super close to the river front. We’ll definitely be back !

Fall color trip

The house was well kept and full of goodies and amenities as described plus more! The location was excellent and 30mins from lots of POI. The neighborhood was busy but everyone was very welcoming. I highly suggest staying at Charlie's house!

Quiet and beautiful

What a lovely space. My family just needed some rest and relaxation and this was perfect. A quick walk to the river. We did some shopping in some of the places around this location. Winona was a very cute day trip. The small restaurant/bar a few blocks away was a great place to watch the sunset.

A great place to stay and feel right at home!

We absolutely loved staying here! The host is so so nice and if we needed anything she would answer right away! This place is so spot on for everything! You basically have everything you need for your stay. It is so cute and cozy and if we could have stayed all week we would have! Nice quiet location and great places to go for walks and plus a great yard to just hang out on! We will definitely stay here again! I give it a definite 5 stars plus rating!!! If you are in the area and need a place to stay this is it!

Great Place - Great Host - Will Book Again for Sure

I rented 333 for family members to stay in while they were visiting and they loved it. Elle, the host, was great and she had everything my family members needed and a whole lot more. The place was very clean, very well laid out, very nicely decorated and Elle was very available in case we would have needed anything, but since the place was so well equipped it wasn't necessary. The host also lives nearby so that had we needed anything I'm sure she would have been able to help out quickly. I will definitely try to book 333 again the next time family members come to visit.
