Girls Weekend

Even though there was only one bathroom upstairs and a half bath in basement, the owners made sure everything was great for the weekend. The beds were great with nice linens. The owners also had some items there for us like fresh fruit, eggs, chips, cereral and coffee. Was a nice personal touch.

Cozy rental with plentiful amenities

Loved the new hot tub and all the nice little touches throughout the home. Fully stocked toiletries and the snacks and refreshments were above and beyond what we see in most VRBOs. The hot tub was brand new and proved to be most relaxing on a cool spring evening. We didn't expect this added feature as it was added after we booked. Owner was very responsive and professional. If we're ever in the area again, despite having only one bathroom, we'd definitely stay again.

In town for Family Reunion

This was a very clean and comfy place to stay in! It is quaint and smaller, but it fit our purposes (5 adults) very well. The beds were very comfortable, had plenty of pillows, etc. Very generous host, with water bottles in each bedroom and various snacks and breakfast options available. It was perfect for what we needed, and the location couldn't have been better! We would recommend it!

Great place for a weekend getaway.

Myself and 4 friends booked the East Side Inn for a girls weekend getaway. It was perfect and had everything we needed. You can tell that the owner/property manager takes care and enjoys renting out their property. It comfortably fit 5 adults and met all of our needs. Some of the highlights of this location: driveway parking for 2 cars, very clean house, comfortable beds with soft linens and plenty of pillows, provided a few snacks and coffee supplies, as well as a couple bathroom essentials and soap for laundry (which we used to wash our thrift store finds to wear out to dinner so that was nice). The owner provided timely and clear instructions on checking in and was very nice. I would love to stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone considering this location for there stay.

Perfect Lodgings

The East Side Inn is an adorable, well-maintained cottage. The space is welcoming, private, lovingly decorated, and spacious. The beds are very comfortable – even the twin daybed on the first floor. Guests can relax on the patio, retreat to the shed in the back yard to enjoy beverages by lantern light, or plan a picnic and playtime in the city park directly across the street. A really nice grocery store, downtown restaurants, and the Prairie Renaissance Cultural Alliance’s gallery of local art are just a couple of blocks away. If you want to explore farther afield, Glacial Lakes State Park is less than a 30-minute drive. I’ve stayed in other VRBOs in MN plus CO, TX, NM, and IA, and while I loved many of them, no other owners have gone to the extent that hosts John and April did to make us feel like welcome and valued guests. They have anticipated the traveler’s every need from coffee, snacks, and treats to toiletries and laundry detergent. Walking distance from the University of Minnesota Morris and downtown, East Side Inn is the perfect solution for parents visiting students, people with business on campus, extended family who would like their own space, travelers passing through, and anyone else who would like to stay in a charming vacation rental.

This was the home I wish I had away from home! John and April were so accommodating and provided us with all the snacks and blankets you could wish for on a winter getaway. We’re hoping to book here again the next time we come to Morris.

Loved this property!

We had so much fun here on our girls weekend. They had great communication before our stay and gave us plenty of ideas for eating and entertaining ourselves around town. Bring your clothes and food and the house is ready for you. They had all we needed for cooking and drinking. There was even breakfast stuff there if we didn't get a chance to hit the grocery store right away. Plenty of towels and blankets. The outdoor space wasn't pictured before our stay but it's amazing. Seating on the patio, grass space for play or laying out. Plus a shed for shaded entertainement if the sun was too much. We might just make this an annual thing! We five Mommas highly recommend! Hopefully I can bring the hubby and 11 year there for a winter get away this year too!
