Victorian era Mississippi riverview retreat.

LOTS of space for your family or friends! This 4 bedroom, 2 bath house can accommodate up to 8 adults. Close to great dining down the street ( The Golden Frog and Lilly Pad are just a few steps out the front door. A few other restaurants are just a few additional steps away) and public boat landings. Public hunting land and 2 state parks nearby. A short 4 mile drive to Mississippi Thunder Speedway. 15 minutes drive to Winona MN. 20 minutes to Arcadia. The National Eagle Center is about 25 minutes away. Located on a dead end street with very minimal traffic for a good night sleep. Riverview from the yard provides a great opportunity to watch boats travel or just admire the color of trees changing in the fall. The back yard boasts plenty of room for yard games. (Ie, ladder toss or bags) Bring your own steak (and coal) for a cookout on the charcoal grill. Like to hike? Perrot and Merick state parks are short drive to some of the best outdoor areas around. Want to go on a guided fishing trip? Ask for details and I can connect you with a 5-star Mississippi River guide.

Great spot for family during college move in week.
This was a great spot for our family of 6 to home base out of during college move in week. Plenty of space for the teens to separate when needed, but have dinner and hang out at other times. Fountain City is a cute little river town with some food, drinks, and a Kwik trip for essentials. Property was clean and well stocked, comfortable home away from home. Would definitely stay again.

Very convenient
Great location near restaurants. Large, lovely bathroom on second floor. This older home shows its age, but was fine for us attending a family reunion.

Family get away for a long weekend
checking in was great, very easy. the view is NOT anything like the pictures, there were a lot of spider webs with spiders in them in the bathrooms, there's also mice in the house and we had to set traps and caught one. Not any plastic containers to put things in while cooking or for left overs, just pots and pans. The only shower is very small so it will take a family awhile to get ready if showers are needed! Close to bars and restaurants and the river to walk by. You can hear the trains at times so if you are a light sleeper I would think twice.

Perfect stay
We stayed here for a graduation in Winona, a short 15 min drive away. Nicely appointed house with adequate space for family or mixed groups. Hosts are responsive when we texted with questions and they even left us some treats.

Happy with stay
It was better than I expected. Clean house with plenty of clean beds and bedding. There were complimentary snacks and drinks when we arrived. Check in process was a breeze. Everything in the house worked. If we come to the Fountain City area again for our fishing trip, then we will look at staying here again.
