About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Family friendly in the peaceful heart of town

Enjoy a fully renovated entire home rental in walking distance to one of the town's two main lakes, with paved paths for walking and biking. The home has 100 year old original wood floors, an electric fireplace, and is bursting with character - a visual delight. Enjoy relaxing on the porch swing or seasonally picking and eating various fruits from the yard. Located in a quiet neighborhood, yet convenient to everything in town. You can even walk to - pick up pizza, a WSU baseball game, or the town's outdoor bandshell.

Stayed in Winona with a girlfriend and attended Ashley for the Arts. Easy commute to Arcadia, WI. Only one complaint and that was our lack of time to take in all Winona has to offer. The VRBO had everything we needed and then some. Cute place to stay, walking distance to Lake Winona and a few blocks to WSU. Highly recommend.

Plenty of room in relaxing, quiet neighborhood

This was a perfect spot for our family. There was plenty of room for us--the beds and sofas were very comfortable. We loved spending our mornings on the porch. The teens especially enjoyed their short walk to the lake to rent boats.

Everything we needed and more!

The house was perfect for our family of 5 and had everything we needed for our 2 year old son and 80 year old parents! Every detail was taken care of and all the little things were covered from Laundry detergent to coffee to extra firewood to scissors and tape to finish wrapping a gift. The house was clean, beds were great and location was outstanding. We would definitely stay here again when back in town!

Convenient, Quiet, and Comfy

When we first walked into the place and fumbled for a light switch, we saw a marvelous kitchen where everything had a descriptive label. We were quickly able to bypass the usual "Hey, where are the silverware?" complications immediately. Multi-switch panels are also clearly labeled as to their function. Convenient! During the first afternoon we were there heavy rain came through while we were watching TV in the front room. We didn't notice the rain until someone got up to see it out the window. Very Quiet! Clean, paved trails are a block away around the lakes.

I booked Clover Cottage for myself and my husband and some friends. Our friends had to bow out, but we decided to still go on the trip. We're glad we did. The house was well appointed, well furnished and clean. I enjoyed my stay Clover Cottege

The cottage was perfect for us. It had all that we needed for the weekend. Tastefully decorated, with games to play (if we only had time!) Quiet neighborhood and tasty plums and apples to fresh pick and munch on. Would definitely come back for another weekend!
