Victorian era Mississippi riverview retreat.

LOTS of space for your family or friends! This 4 bedroom, 2 bath house can accommodate up to 8 adults. Close to great dining down the street ( The Golden Frog and Lilly Pad are just a few steps out the front door. A few other restaurants are just a few additional steps away) and public boat landings. Public hunting land and 2 state parks nearby. A short 4 mile drive to Mississippi Thunder Speedway. 15 minutes drive to Winona MN. 20 minutes to Arcadia. The National Eagle Center is about 25 minutes away. Located on a dead end street with very minimal traffic for a good night sleep. Riverview from the yard provides a great opportunity to watch boats travel or just admire the color of trees changing in the fall. The back yard boasts plenty of room for yard games. (Ie, ladder toss or bags) Bring your own steak (and coal) for a cookout on the charcoal grill. Like to hike? Perrot and Merick state parks are short drive to some of the best outdoor areas around. Want to go on a guided fishing trip? Ask for details and I can connect you with a 5-star Mississippi River guide.

Friends time away
The house was as advertised. It had everything we needed for our two-night stay. It was conveniently located across from the Mississippi River and the restaurants in the small town. Communication with the host was easy, and he responded quickly.

In area for a College reunion
Place was as described. Rooms comfortable albeit a bit warm in the upstairs, even with fans and AC. Had a little trouble getting code key to work at first but were able to overcome. Owner was very responsive to our plight. If I could change one thing it would have been all the stairs. Be careful on the last step off the porch stairs. There is a little cement step that is kind of hidden under last wooden step. If miss that, it is a drop and we almost wiped out a couple times. All in all, well-stocked, clean and comfortable. Quiet. I would stay again.thanks to owner who keeps it nice for Vrbo customers.

Great spot for family during college move in week.
This was a great spot for our family of 6 to home base out of during college move in week. Plenty of space for the teens to separate when needed, but have dinner and hang out at other times. Fountain City is a cute little river town with some food, drinks, and a Kwik trip for essentials. Property was clean and well stocked, comfortable home away from home. Would definitely stay again.

Family get away for a long weekend
checking in was great, very easy. the view is NOT anything like the pictures, there were a lot of spider webs with spiders in them in the bathrooms, there's also mice in the house and we had to set traps and caught one. Not any plastic containers to put things in while cooking or for left overs, just pots and pans. The only shower is very small so it will take a family awhile to get ready if showers are needed! Close to bars and restaurants and the river to walk by. You can hear the trains at times so if you are a light sleeper I would think twice.

Perfect stay
We stayed here for a graduation in Winona, a short 15 min drive away. Nicely appointed house with adequate space for family or mixed groups. Hosts are responsive when we texted with questions and they even left us some treats.

Happy with stay
It was better than I expected. Clean house with plenty of clean beds and bedding. There were complimentary snacks and drinks when we arrived. Check in process was a breeze. Everything in the house worked. If we come to the Fountain City area again for our fishing trip, then we will look at staying here again.

Family get together
House was clean. Hosts left clear directions and wonderful welcome treats. We were able to enjoy our time together. (The whole idea of the weekend.). There were a couple of kitchen items we could have used but were able to create great food. Hosts supply of many supplies, coffee, and water were appreciated.

Clean, comfortable, quiet
We had a nearby event and enjoyed the ability to relax and hang out at the end of the day. The house is comfortable, clean located on a quiet street. Check-in and check-out were easy. Complimentary coffee, wine and other drinks were a nice touch. Most of the beds were comfortable (even the pull out!) but some people did not like the mattress in the bunk bed and the one room with no door. Parking was on the street and was fine but a little tight to turn around when leaving. Some in our group expressed a wish for a kettle and hair dryer. The furnace was easy to control and kept things at a comfortable temperature. Towels and bath items were well stocked. We would stay here again!

Great family weekend!
We had a small family trip to visit our daughter in Winona for a university band concert. We were close enough to Winona to get to campus in 15 minutes. We had a nice sized kitchen to make bake a homemade lasagna that I brought with. We had a nice table to gather people around for dinner and to play games. We didn't budget enough time to check out local food and beverage stops but maybe next time?
