Great location, even better host.

The host was excellent and accomodating. We spent the weekend with a long time friend that is experiencing a difficult battle with cancer at the Mayo. The rental provided a comfortable worry free experience that provided an excellent central point for meeting up with others and providing access to local ammenties and attractions.

Family get together

Very nice place and meet our family needs very well. Plenty of space to gather or spread out. The upstairs bedroom could be improved by adding a door between the room and the large attic/closet.

Home away from home!

This was our first time using a Vrbo accommodation and I don’t think we will be returning to hotels if we can be guaranteed the same host. Our trip was a health-related one so proximity to Mayo and comfort was key for a family of four and one fur baby. Alex was always available and prompt to our queries. We felt valued as guests and overall very much at home. The property is huge (perfect for large families) and well maintained. Thankfully, our trip had a good outcome on all ends and are forever grateful to Alex and his team for supporting it.

Great place for a staff retreat!

We booked this place for a 3-day staff retreat and it worked perfectly. Everyone had their own room, and there’s was plenty of space to both work and relax in the home. Great location and the hosts were excellent to work with.

Visiting family at Mayo

We came to town to visit a family member at Mayo. The home was just as the listing stated. The house is beautiful and has so much room…more than we could even use. There were lots of supplies for us and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We only needed to contact host about adjusting the temperature and he quickly responded and gave us guidance on that. I would absolutely stay here again and suggest it to others as well. Five stars!

Dee dees den

My family raved about how well this home fitted our time in Rochester. There were a few things we had concerns about but they didn't impact our time there. Biggest issue: the 2nd from bottom step of deck stairs is loose (missing nails on one end) and therefore treacherous for using; the 18 month old with us had to be escorted either direction there, much to his chagrin but it also would not be safe for a disabled person. It would be great if there were more kitchen items: a small pot for cooking, a colander, some medium sized serving bowls, a tray? And a larger supply of hand- or small sized towels in the bathrooms would be great. But these are things to spoil us; as I said, we loved the place and are so glad we found it. Thanks
