We used this home as a base camp while our son was in at the Mayo clinic for 8 days. Having a warm, safe, and incredibly clean and welcoming space to stay meant the world to us. Bridget was the perfect host and she very obviously cares about the folks that need her home. It was well appointed for comfort and it is clear she takes being a host seriously.

This was a beautiful, relaxing environment. Things were well thought out and explained. There were many extra amenities available. I especially enjoyed the fireplace and watching the many birds that came to the bird feeders. The host was welcoming, thoughtful, and went out of her way to make things go smoothly and comfortably. I would definitely go back.

We stayed there when my wife was recovering from surgery. She slept in the lift chair which was very comfortable as were the bedrooms. The first floor laundry was nice and it was very convenient not to have to carry laundry up and down stairs. Wonderful quiet location with lots of birds to watch. All cabinets etc were labeled and communication with the host was exceptional.

Fantastic place to stay. Very clean, organized, and cozy. The neighborhood is quiet and nice. Commute to the Mayo was simple. We were able to extend our stay due to some delays which was a huge help. Thank You and God Bless

The property was perfect for our long term medical stay. Easy lay out, well appointed kitchen, bathroom & laundry. It is close to the Mayo & a grocery store. The neighborhood is well maintained with sidewalks for easy walks around the area.

Perfect Mayo stay — peaceful, thoughtful, and well-equipped

We stayed for a week while attending appointments at Mayo, and this home was exactly what we needed. It was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with amenities that made everything easier — especially for Mayo patients. The blackout curtains were a huge plus and helped us get the rest we needed between long days.After our appointments, it was incredibly relaxing to come back and watch birds and deer come right up to the window. The quiet, nature-filled setting made a big difference during a stressful time.The host was kind and communicative, and everything went smoothly from check-in to check-out. Highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Rochester — especially if you’re looking for comfort, calm, and convenience. We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect home in quiet neighborhood

In town for family member's surgery. The house was so comfortable and quiet for her recovery. We all wish we could have stayed longer! We enjoyed the deck and all the wildlife. House is very organized and Bridget is so kind and welcoming. Definitely will recommend if anyone we know is traveling to the area!
