Its well suited to a single person or couple. More than that it would be a tight fit. The laundry is coin operated, but we appreciated that they were available to us so we didnt have to visit a laundromat.. ##### Mamie Jonathan G.

The host has great communication & is very easy to work with. We were very happy with our stay, my only complaint is the bed needs to be at least a queen & the mattress was very squishy soft, only 1 regular adult size person can sleep comfortably in the bed, at least for us it didn't work I chose the sofa & it was very comfortable ##### Tanya R. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shanan C. 8 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Charming, Clean, Convenient My mom and I stayed here while we were in town for a book signing. It's an old home that has been upgraded, but still feels unique (the floors are beautiful). It's the perfect size for 2-3 people. The heat lamp in the bathroom is great. Nice quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to downtown and the library! Fair warning that the washer and dryer are not free (coin-operated), so if you had a longer stay, be prepared for that! ##### Shanan C.

Thank you ##### Robert R. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ChadTrude S. 22 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location, clean Our stay in Owatonna was great, although, we did not spend much time at the property itself. It was a comfortable space--in which we used both beds--pull out couch and the queen. We had some issues with the internet initially but pivoted and used our hot spot the first night to watch movies (it kept refreshing). The owner rectified the issue by the second night. The space itself was very clean (which we appreciated!) and has some nice updates. It is also quite close to Central park and other downtown historic buildings. We particularly enjoyed the Orphanage museum (drove). Rice Lake state park is close as well for a nice walk--beautiful in the fall. We also visited Oxbow park by Byron. Cons--it could use a couple nicer quality pans and larger bowl (for mixing, for popcorn, etc) But overall our stay was very good and the owner communicated well ##### ChadTrude S.

We were a family of four only staying one night. It was a perfect downtown location. I didn't realize the only way to access the bathroom is by going into the bedroom, but this wasn't a issue for us. Check in instructions were clear and easy. We enjoyed our visit to Owatonna and would stay here again. ##### Maureen S.

The big TV and comfy living room couch was perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. It was located centrally to both the historic downtown and the lovely parks of Owatonna. The host was very responsive on check-in day with awesome dining recommendations AND super helpful when VRBO went down for the afternoon/evening just even I needed to access the check-in details...he took my call and gladly texted me the info insteqd. ##### Daniel M.
