Magical Nest Hideaway

We are located about 1-1.5 miles west of Mayo Clinic. You'll find us located in a beautiful, quiet and secluded neighborhood. We have a private entrance, a staircase and path to your lovely hideaway. The wooded area behind our home has lots of wildlife. It is not uncommon to see deer in the backyard, as many as six at one time! Sometimes a group of turkeys will feed under our deck, you can watch them just outside the windows of your studio apartment. We are often told of how beautiful and peaceful it is here. There is a covered patio and furniture to relax on in the evenings.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a dining table. Change of towels is available on request.

Cozy apartment

This was a very nice one bedroom apartment. We were there for appointments with Mayo Clinic. Apartment had everything we needed for our short stay. Loved the patio area where we could sit outside on nice days. Was relaxing to listen to the birds singing and see all the turkeys and wildlife wander past. Host Greg was very kind and helpful. Very quick to respond to any questions or concerns. And did all he could to make our stay relaxing.

We stayed here for 4 nights recently and loved it. It was so quiet and relaxing. My husband had surgery at the mayo and had to stay in town for a couple days afterwards. The mayo is about a 4 to 5 min drive. I would definitely stay again. We also saw a family of 3 deer right outside our window

This was a wonderful place to stay for my appointment at Mayo. Nicely furnished and comfortable. Safe, walkable neighborhood. Apache Mall, grocery stores and restaurants minutes away. I'm so glad I stayed here instead of a hotel.

Absolutely fantastic place in a beautiful neighbourhood with wonderful host.

Beautiful well appointed property, everything that was needed for a two week stay was at hand. I visited from Scotland for a two week placement at the Mayo Clinic and could not have been happier with the accommodation.

First time in Rochester/Mayo

A very lovely and well appointed place in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Was very close to Mayo. *Note not handicapped accessible as there are some steep stairs to the entrance but was fine for us. Very communicative host. Would definitely book again!

Relaxing, private, and peaceful

I found this location safe, restful, peaceful, and comfortable. The owners were appropriately helpful, yet allowed us space as we needed and wanted. The view from our door was lovely and relaxing. One morning coming out there were a couple deer close by to quietly watch. We also heard some wild turkeys in the area. It was a great place to stay that provided a relaxing environment, yet allowed for some cooking in the place at a reasonable cost.
