    My four siblings and I spent 4 days and 3 nights at Bonnie's beautiful Victorian home on a lovely October weekend. It really is beautiful. Very clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped and large- a pleasant place to hang out. Several of the bedrooms are drop-dead gorgeous! The bathroom and shower are clean and pleasant. We sat out on the patio on a clear night and could see tons of stars! Zumbrota is a pleasant town, and close enough to Rochester that our Dad could drive over to spend days with us. I'd recommend this place.

    We celebrated my grandmother's 90th birthday by renting this beautiful house so no one would need to host at their own home. The house is extremely spacious (yet still cozy), clean and well-kept. We enjoyed the neighborhood parks and the art center in downtown Zumbrota. The front porch was a great place to catch up with family. We spent an afternoon at the Goodhue County Fair. We even saw the Presidential motorcade go through town! We had the Cream Pie at the Coffee Mill in Zumbrota because that is what we heard the President ordered. Yum! Thank you, Bonnie, for sharing your home with us! My grandmother had a wonderful time as did the rest of our family.

    This property is a wonderful weekend get away for friends who like beautiful Victorian homes in small towns. It is close to Rochester and also the Twin Cities. The owner is so gracious and willing to allow others to enjoy her lovely home and antiques. It was fun to have the whole house to ourselves and spend time visiting the area. I would highly recommend this home to anyone who might be looking for peace and quiet and plenty of room for the whole family or a group of friends! Excellent experience!

    We spent 3 days and 2 nights at this beautiful victorian home in Zumbrota, Mn. The interior decorating was fascinating and original. The light fixtures are elegant and original. Our family of 12 enjoyed fun, fellowship and food at 182 E. 9th St, Zumbrota, Mn

    It was such a great experience for my party to stay in this property. The house itself was so pretty and had bedrooms that were all beautiful :) (we LOVED the 3rd floor!) Also, it isn't too far away from the twin cities, and is located in a quiet neighborhood. We would love to go back someday!!!!

    My fiance and I had a family get together at this beautiful victorian style home. Our guests so were so amazed at the artwork and all the little details the owner put into making this house unlike any other. I actually have some family members that are thinking about renting this house for future events. We will definitely be back; this experience by far was the best i've ever had..

    What a wonderful vacation experience. 9 first cousins from various cities in Mn couldn't have found a more appropriate home for our yealy getaway. We stayed the Victorian House the weekend of Sept 18 and 19th. We were awestruck from the moment we drove into the yard. The loving care that has been given to this home is more than evident. Bonnie made us feel that the house was ours for the weekend. Thank you Bonnie for sharing your home with us. The Belsaas Cousins

    The Victorian House in Zumbrota was the perfect place for our annual Girl's Weekend. My college friends and I have been doing a girl's weekend for the past 23 years and have found that VRBO works great. We can choose a house that fits our needs and it is much more comfortable than hotel rooms.The Victorian House was incredible. We stayed at the house September 25-27, 2009. We enjoyed admiring the house and all the antiques that are in it. The porch was the perfect place for us to gather in the afternoon and remember the good old days. We ate Casey's take-out pizza in the beautiful dining room, and just like at home, the kitchen is where we seemed to hang out the most. We enjoyed the town of Zumbrota. The shop owners were so friendly and helpful. They gave us awesome suggestions on how to spend our time. We went to the State Theater on Friday night for the movie - what a fun experience to sit in such a history filled theater. Wild Ginger Boutique had beautiful clothes and awesome jewelry, as well as fun purses and shoes. The Crossings art gallery was filled with lots of interesting pieces from local and national artists. Saturday night was the Iron Pour on the street in front of the Crossings, where iron tiles were made by carving designs into blocks and the professionals poured the molten iron into the molds. There was live music, food and community spirit as people gathered to watch the lava-like molten iron slabs dim as they cooled in the fall air. After seeing some of the finished tiles the next morning we were sad that we weren't more adventurous and purchased a mold to commemorate our girl's weekend in Zumbrota. It doesn’t matter where we go for our girl’s weekend because the point is to spend time together with good friends, but being at this beautiful house made our weekend that much better.

    We stayed at Bonnie's Victorian Mansion on August 8th and had a wonderful time. The home is kept in beautiful condition, quite a rare find. It was an ideal distance from the twin cities, just a quick hour drive, and was the perfect weekend getaway. Cannot recommend this place enough!

    We stayed over at this beautiful house from June 26 through 29 09 and had an awesome experience! Great house with a lot of amenities. We had 4 families stay over with us and they loved the stay too! We'd recommend staying at Bonnies if you wanna spend some fun-quality time with friends n family.
