Our host was amazing to work with! Such a cute and homey place to stay while visiting family in Winona. Extra Large living room to enjoy the evening with the whole family for movie or game night. Supplied with breakfast cereal, bars, milk & coffee, perfect for a quick bite before checking out.
Very clean and lots of room! Baby and kid friendly lots of room to move around. Evan came with toys for the little ones to play with.

Great communication and responsiveness! Great house with a lot of space and everything you need. One recommendation are the pillows in the bedroom closest to bathroom are not terribly comfortable-too hard.
