Fantastic stay in mid-century historic house

This was our first stay in a VRBO. And we hit the jackpot! Comfortable, tasteful mid-century and eclectic furnishings in a piece of post-war housing history. If you don’t know about Lustron houses, read about them on the web. I’m so glad this Lustron house is available for vacation rentals! The owner was very easy to deal with and has packed the house with so many nice, hospitable touches. There is so much to do in the area, and after doing all the activities it’s so nice to come back to this house and relax. We’ll be back!

Fond memories

My grandparents owned a Lustron home, so staying here was like revisiting fond childhood memories. Back then, the home didn't seem so unusual; now it's definitely a post-war time capsule. The original features are in very good condition and the home is spotlessly clean. Everything was as described, very comfortable and in good working order. Appreciated the snacks in the kitchen.

Clean and cool house!

This was a very cool house, as stated. Very clean and comfortable. Check-in and communication was excellent! We visited with our daughter that is in college in Winona and this property was very close for that occasion.

A Nostalgic Home in a Great Location

The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were friendly. The property is a snapshot into history and was very well maintained. It is close to so many Southeast MN attractions like hiking, bike riding, and walking around the lakes. If you are in the area, it should be on your list of places to experience.

1950's Lustron ranxh house in a beautiful quiet setting

What an amazing Lustron house! This 50's gem is 5 miles from Winona in little, quiet Minnesota City. We enjoyed the comfy beds, cute 50's style steel ranch house and totally peaceful surroundings. Clean and really comfy.

This was our second stay with Wendy. We just love this unique, vintage home! It is adorable, clean and nicely stocked. The fire pit outside in this quiet neighborhood was the "cherry on top". We will definitely be back!

Weekend at the races

We stayed for a 3 day race for my son’s 12th Birthday. The house has so much character and charm. It was very neat to see a home like this one, we never have before. It is so much better than a hotel, I highly recommend this little hide away.

Lovely little time capsule

We had a comfortable overnight here while visiting family in Winona. The pictures don’t exactly show what a unique place it is. Post-war prefab housing, lovingly preserved like a time-capsule. We had a great time. Bring your own coffee.

Cool, historic house

We are visiting friends in Winona, and needed a place for our family of 4 to stay. I looked on Vrbo, and found this perfect little house! It is so neat and clean! It was like stepping in to history! My husband loves the architecture and I love the history on how these houses were built! I will definitely recommend this place to anyone!

A+ Comfortable, Cozy, Quiet, Attention to details

It was a great stay in a clean home with a quiet neighborhood. There is nice attention to details that made our stay comfortable such as coffee, tea, cocoa and basic spices for cooking. There is a washer and dryer but we did not need it. The host was responsive to communications. There is a pullout bed in the living room. There are 3 parking spots and is only 10 minutes to Winona. Highly recommended.
