A second King Suite boasts a king bed framed by windows, with an in-room shower, en-suite bathroom, and sitting area. The last suite features an elegant with four-poster queen bed, en-suite bathroom, full sized closet, and a cozy sitting area which also overlooks the river.

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was a short distance to Winona but it was not an issue. It was nice to have a place to stay with enough bathrooms for all of our guests.
Our family of 6 enjoyed a fabulous stay! The rooms are spacious and each room had a private bathroom. We enjoyed being able to sit together on the back porch, kitchen island and living room. The view was spectacular!! We will stay again!!
It was a lovely stay. The rooms were very nice and clean and the living room was clean and comfortable. A few to many stairs for us old folks. The kitchen was great for heating food but left a bit to be desired for cooking since there were a few things missing. All in all it was a very pleasant apartment.
My sisters, my husband and I came down for the Shakespeare festival in Winona as we have done the last few years. This time we chose to stay outside of Winona to do some other sight seeing. This was a great location and a great property. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
We enjoyed our stay very much. It is in a safe area. The home is well stocked with kitchen place settings. We appreciated the filtered water pitcher. The beds were comfortable too! Hosts were immediately receptive.
We would stay again.
We had a great stay at this property. Bathroom for everyone. Noise from rail and traffic wasn’t an issue and I’m a light sleeper. Sound machines were a great bonus for that.
Three of us traveled together and we loved that we all had our own bedrooms, bathroom, and keurig! There was a common kitchen and living area to share that had everything we needed and plenty of room. My daughter & granddaughter live in Winona, they stopped in for a visit, and loved that it was so comfortable. Very tastefully decorated and even had seasonal decor. The train noise was not bothersome at all for any of us as mentioned in the description. We will definitely be booking here again. It it located walking distance from the dining in Fountain City, and a 10 minute drive to Winona. Great location and a beautiful view of the river from the living room and front bedroom.
There were six adults and an infant staying in the house. One of my sons opted to stay in a hotel instead of using the air mattress.. The bedrooms were nice, and comfortable The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed.
There was no high chair as listed in the description but most of our meals were eaten out.so that wasn’t a problem.
We stayed here in January 2023 and were very happy with the place. We had 7 adults and 2 dogs. The bedrooms were all spacious and well equipped including a private bathroom for 2 of the 3 bedrooms, we were in the upstairs unit. The kitchen was a bit small and the living area was downstairs, it would have been nice to have it all on 1 floor. However, the place is lovely with some beautiful views of the river. The location was fine, right on the main road so plenty of street parking. The trains do run at night but I didn't find them too loud and they do have sound machines in some of the rooms. Logan the host was great, he kept me updated all throughout the process,. I would certainly stay here again.
We were three high schools couples reuniting after 50 years and wanted to meet, relax and enjoy the area. This place was perfect! We loved the house with the porch and view. We could walk to the restaurant/bar part of town. The owners have a well kept home and thought of all the details. The owners were thoughtful and checked in to make sure we were comfortable.
