The location of the property was extremely convenient for our visit to the International Owl Center. The property is beautiful, spacious, and clean. Rick, the host was very helpful, he met us when we checked in, helped us with our luggage, and answered all of our questions. We had a great stay!

This is a terrific property! Immaculate, welcoming and very cool space. Rick went out of his way to meet us and then also the couple that was staying with. We tried to arrive at the same time: however, that didn’t turn out. Rick came twice to show each couple around. Both couples agreed we would definitely come back to his place. We are already planning a bike trip with our daughter who lives in MN next year to enjoy his property again!

The loft apartment above the International Owl Center was beautiful, spacious, well furnished and very comfortable.Just 3 blocks from the start point of the Root River bike trail, and a short scenic drive away from a variety of outdoor recreation activities and dining options. We had a lovely weekend stay, and were very well supported by the owner. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing or invigorating stay!

Host was very attentive and available if needed but everything was perfect. The woodwork is amazing and grand piano sounded like you were in a concert hall. We absolutely loved our stay and hope to make it back since it is such a beautiful area.

This rental is a total gem. Rick met us right at the property to show us around. It’s located in a small, walkable city where everything—a grocery store, pizza place, bar/grill, and a coffee shop with great sandwiches—is all within a block or two.The space itself is grand and fully stocked with every amenity. We appreciated the quiet nights - Since it's above the Owl Center, you might hear a "woot" or two during the day, but at night the owls stay elsewhere off the property. Spacious, convenient, and grand space. Can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful woodwork and piano, kitchen was perfect, bedrooms felt luxurious. We were there for a long weekend, but the space would be ideal for entertaining for a holiday. Owl center below the rental has fantastic programming, and the Root River bike trail was a block away. Definitely recommend!

This stay was everything I hoped for and more. The property was exactly as described - beautifully modern, spacious, and filled with warm touches that made it feel instantly comfortable. The exposed‑beam kitchen and living area were stunning, and the views from the windows made the whole place feel open and peaceful.The hosts are exceptional. One of them was actually my former principal, and he met me at the property to make sure everything went smoothly. That personal care meant a lot and set the tone for a truly seamless stay.I left feeling refreshed, welcomed, and grateful. I’d stay here again without hesitation.

Your secret Owl Hideout!

This is the classiest apartment in Houston County. It felt like I was some kind of Bruce Wayne with a secret hideout right above Owl headquarters. Hosts are incredibly accommodating and it is an easy stay for the International Owl Center!

Root River Trail Ride

This property is amazing and even bigger than it looks in the pictures. Very comfortable and quiet. Rick was very helpful and showed us a few things when we arrived. It was a couple of blocks from the trail head to the Root River Trail which was beautiful! It was perfect for 2 couples. We will definitely stay again! Thank you Rick!
