Amazing place!
This place has all the comforts of home! From the fully stocked kitchen to the amazing outdoor spaces, we were able to spread out and relax. Coffee in the morning on the front porch and social time on the back patio in the evenings gave us valuable family time. The house is well kept and has so much character. The neighborhood is quiet, so we were able to recharge for the next day's adventures. This is likely where we will book our stay for our next trip down.

This is The place to stay in Wabasha
We have stayed in many VRBO places, but this property stands out as the best one yet! It is incredibly clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need. The cookware, beds and linens are high quality. You will feel instantly at home upon arrival. It is spacious yet cozy at the same time. It is clear John and Amy have carefully thought about the needs of their guests. They are fabulous to work with and genuinely care that people have an incredible experience. You will not be disappointed in this property. 😁

Cute, comfortable house in a fantastic small town
I loved this house! The house itself was so cute with modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms. The furniture (all 3 beds and living room couch and chairs) were comfortable and everything was overall so welcoming! The house was extremely clean and in a fantastic area within Wabasha. Truly a wonderful experience!

We absolutely loved this house! Everything was just perfect down to the smallest details. And so so clean! Immaculate! The digital key pad worked perfectly and we felt so secure. The beds were very comfortable, including the Murphy bed and the extra memory foam sleeping pads. We appreciated the complimentary coffee very much, and the brochures about things to do. We had a wonderful weekend, and would absolutely stay here again if we were ever in Wabasha again. Thank you!

Couldn't have been better!
Heading into the weekend I was nervously hopeful that the property would be as beautiful as the photos since I booked it for a small group of friends. The home and amenities far exceeded our expectations! The property was adorable and as described plus the managers of the property seem to have thought of everything! There were yard games in the porch, blankets for outside, wood to burn in the bonfire container, makeup towels and extra linens, an air conditioner in each bedroom, a kitchen fully stocked with all the dishes and cooking tools you could want, games, books, TV options, comfortable seating everywhere, and a bulletin board in the kitchen with all the information you needed to explore the town. We loved every minute of our stay and would have stayed longer if we could. The beds were very comfortable and the temperature in the house was well controlled by opening windows and utilizing the air conditioners at night. We were able to easily walk to the river and downtown establishments in Wabasha and cook wonderful breakfasts with all the provided cookware. Overall I would highly recommend this property and hope to have the opportunity to stay there again! We had 6 adults stay, but could have easily accomodated a few more kids or adults.

Wabasha Historical Home
Let me start by saying the home itself was wonderful. It was in a quaint small town on the Mississippi River in Southwestern Minnesota. We had not visited Wabasha in about 8 years and sadly it was not as vibrant as previously, but the location is great for day tripping to both sides of the Mississippi. There is a bridge in Wabasha to Wisconsin and combined with the bridges near Winonna and Red Wing makes for nice loops. The home has lots of nice touches including the tags for local dining and the owner's "takes" on those places. The dining room is huge, while the living room is on the smaller size the bed rooms are nicely done considering two of them are really small. While there are 3 bedrooms more than 4 adults would really be tight in the house overall. The reason for this are not only the small aforementioned living room, but the fact there is only one bath tub and it is an old fashioned tub with an adapted shower. You feel like you are in a cocoon when showering and the step down from the tub is a bit of a leap of faith. Not enough places to hang towels and the sink is very small. Owners should bite the bullet and remodel with a modern step in shower and sky light instead of the existing old tub and window. Biggest reason we gave the home 4 stars though despite all the nice touches and pleasant decorating was the check out process. We paid $80 for cleaning plus a $55 damage fee and still had a complex check out process that includes stripping the beds and gathering towels, starting the wash, and emptying garbage and starting dishes washing. For those fees all you should be asked to do is start dish washer. While we thoroughly enjoyed the home we will not stay again out of principal. I'm sure others enjoy their stay but we'll opt for another property when we next visit.

We like to stay in the Wabasha area and have stayed at two different places in the last three stays
We have stayed at this VRBO a couple of years ago. Not sure if there is a new owner. We found the kitchen and dining room to have footprints that we wiped up in order to keep our stockings clean. There were several box elder bugs - dead and alive. The bath tub upstairs is dangerous…no handrails to help one get in and out.
