Dee Dee's Den was very comfortable for our family of six adults and one 2 yr old child. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes and an assortment of common pantry items. The house was spacious and comfortable. Checking in was flawless. Host Alex was very easy to work with. The house is located in a quiet, safe residential neighborhood.

Home away from home

Great location. Home was very clean. Since we live in neighboring states I was happy to find many of the the same products I regularly use were used in the home. We came for a Mayo clinic visit. To find such a nice home helped to ease the pressure of dealing with a trying medical situation. Thank you!

Awesome family stay!

The host was so responsive and informative! Our stay was perfect! The home was so clean and everything was in awesome repair. The home is in fabulous condition and has everything you could possibly need. We had 9 adults, a 2 year old and a dog and we were 100% comfortable. We would absolutely stay again!

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.

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!

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.
