Comfortable, Quiet and Conventionally Located Near Mayo Clinic.
Like our previous stay at 1303 Retreat a few years ago, this home was once again comfortable, quiet, and served as our home away from home, fulfilling our needs. We appreciated the home’s close proximity to the Mayo Clinic and its location across the street from a Catholic Church.

Nice stay.
We had a nice experience. While the home is older and in need of some more TLC, some of the upgrades they have made were very welcomed such as the main level bathroom. The beds were very comfortable and the whole house was very clean and we very much appreciated that. The neighborhood is very quiet and convenient to everything in Rochester. Thank you for a very pleasant stay in Rochester.

Comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay. We were in Rochester for a family reunion, so spent a lot of time away from this house.
We have a couple of safety issues that should be addressed. First is a railing of some kind at the entrance. My husband and I are both in our 80s and could have felt safer with a railing to help us enter and exit the house. The other issue was there no safety bars in the tub/shower in the upstairs bathroom.

The house was overall great for us. I told the host that there are only 2 patio chairs, the rest had rips in them and needs to have pest control called. There were ants, earwig’s, and we seen a centipede (yuck) in the house. Neighborhood was quiet and friendly. I would stay at this property again!!!

Nice neighborhood but the house needs to be cleaned...
We stayed in this house for 11 days in early January. The house is in a nice quiet neighborhood and easy to find. The location to Mayo Clinic is good as well as access to grocery stores. I also appreciated the host's responsiveness when I reached out regarding the access code and the need for a shovel and additional salt.
Unfortunately, we found the house to be unclean, unorganized and in disrepair. On our first night in the home my asthma was triggered due to the excessive amount of dust in the home. In the morning of our second day, we purchased Swift cloths and vinegar to clean the home. All the heating grates, door and window casings were covered in a thick coat of dust. Plus we cleaned the floors (vacuumed and mopped), sinks, faucets, kitchen cupboards doors, and bathroom fans. We also organized the kitchen.
This house could be really cute if it was cleaner and had a little TLC.

We enjoyed our stay here. Just four of us. Only one bathroom is accessible to all three bedrooms The second -walk in shower bathroom is downstairs. If you have any walking handicap it’s impossible to use.
Nice kitchen with everything we needed to cook for the week. Whitney was quick to respond during the week.

Clean & Convenient
We chose this as opposed to a hotel as I was having surgery at Mayo and my husband needed a place to stay for over a week. It was convenient to the hospital and shopping. It was clean and just the right size but could use a little sprucing up. Would stay there again if needed.

Nice Place to Stay
We are very pleased with our stay in Rochester. I had a procedure done at Mayo and it was much nicer to recover at this home then a hotel and cost would be about the same, depending on which hotel you stayed at.
I would definitely recommend this place if your needing a place in Rochester, MN.

Nice property
This is a nice little house - reminded me of the house I grew up in circa 1965. The bathroom has been updated. The bedding was clean. It was a comfortable place to stay while visiting The Mayo Clinic. It wasn't particularly convenient to Mayo Clinic, but an easy enough drive. The outdoor grill was nice and it worked. Could have used some more dishes in the kitchen - particularly plastic storage for leftovers. Owners were very responsive when I had issues or questions.
