We had a wonderful stay in this home! The home was clean and tidy.The kitchen is great and everything is labeled for easy location. The beds were very comfortable. And, the location was perfect. We went for a walk each morning with quick access to the walking paths on East and West Lakes. The host was very responsive and helpful. There was a cute sign with suggestions of things to do. We would definitely stay here again!

Stayed in Winona with a girlfriend and attended Ashley for the Arts. Easy commute to Arcadia, WI. Only one complaint and that was our lack of time to take in all Winona has to offer. The VRBO had everything we needed and then some. Cute place to stay, walking distance to Lake Winona and a few blocks to WSU. Highly recommend.

Plenty of room in relaxing, quiet neighborhood

This was a perfect spot for our family. There was plenty of room for us--the beds and sofas were very comfortable. We loved spending our mornings on the porch. The teens especially enjoyed their short walk to the lake to rent boats.

Everything we needed and more!

The house was perfect for our family of 5 and had everything we needed for our 2 year old son and 80 year old parents! Every detail was taken care of and all the little things were covered from Laundry detergent to coffee to extra firewood to scissors and tape to finish wrapping a gift. The house was clean, beds were great and location was outstanding. We would definitely stay here again when back in town!
