One word: Luxury

The attention to detail in this property is unmatched. Clearly, the host has thought of everything that one would need in their home away from home. From the towels and bedding to the furniture and light fixtures, everything exemplified high quality and luxury. You will not be disappointed with the home or the host. We highly recommend both!

Early Christmas

My sister and her husband flew in from California a week before Christmas for a family get together. Seven of us stayed at the house and there was plenty of room for everyone. A great place to stay with much to do nearby. Will definitely stay again when we go to the area.

Top Notch Accommodations

We celebrated an early Thanksgiving in Rochester and this was the perfect place for our family. The house is very well appointed - well stocked kitchen (gadgets, pie pans, etc.), lots of games. Christine was very responsive in answering questions. Will stay there again on our next visit.

Homey rental perfect for events at nearby venues in Downtown Rochester

Well-appointed and immaculate property that is located in a beautiful, safe neighborhood near a locally-loved nature park. Close to downtown Rochester. The host was friendly, communicative, and eager to please her guests. I wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks, Christine!

Perfect house

We visited with kids and this house was perfect for our needs. The house is located in a very nice neighborhood. It was clean and is spacious. There were some games and a swing set for the kids to play. Christine made sure that we know how to check in/out and that we have what we need.

Holiday family time

Excellent setting for us to stay with our dog (very walkable neighborhood) and plenty of room to host our family for a meal and gift giving. Short drives to all areas of interest (downtown, restaurants, shopping). Very quiet despite proximity to highway, which turns out to be extremely convenient

Beautiful Home

We had a great visit. The kitchen and master bath are especially beautiful. Great attention to detail. Host is very responsive. Close to the expressway, parks, and plenty of dining options just a short drive away. There's a cafe just a quick walk away which is great for breakfast and lunch.

Spacious and Tidy Older Home

Big home, lots of space. The beds are very comfortable. Plenty of amenities and the check out list of things to do before we left wasn’t bad. Only two things I would caution. Old house equals very creaky stairs that can’t be helped. There was not a comfortable place to sit, we were like Goldie Locks trying to find a relaxing place to sit. The bed was the most relaxing place to be and rightfully so! Overall, I would stay again, mainly because it was so clean and the beds are worth the stay.

Beautiful home

My family stayed at this beautiful home for a holiday weekend. We were visiting our daughter who attends a local university. First, the house is really lovely, it’s a home I would love to own for myself. It is updated with tons of high end amenities that we really enjoyed. There were beautiful window treatments, the linens were crisp and white. While updated, it was able to maintain it’s charm and character. We were 6 people and a small dog. There was plenty of room for us to not be on top of each other. The kitchen was beautiful and had great coffee/tea options. The kitchen table was definitely on the small side and we fit exactly 6 around it- so if you are more, a couple will have to sit at the counter- on stools. The master suite was really nice. We all enjoyed the big shower and my daughter even took a soak in the tub. There was an issue with the heat but the owner told us they were working on it. The place that seems set up to sit in and lounge in (a couch and two chairs) was the room with all the built ins. It’s a very nice room but it’s a bit cold- it’s got a slate floor. We had grandparents with us and they seemed cold out there. It would have been nice if we could sit in the living room- all at once. That said, we really weren’t there long enough for that to affect our stay. Christine, our host, was very responsive and helpful when necessary. Overall, we loved the house and will hopefully be able to rent it again in the future.
