Was perfect! Not to far from the Winona Ice Fest too! One of our friends recommended this place to us and it was awesome. One person in our group has even previously stayed there twice for Ice Fest and loved it each time. Thank you so much and will most likely stay there again next year!!

Booked this on a last minute trip to visit our granddaughter in Winona, and what a pleasant surprise once we got in. It was like a step back in time with this Lustron home. We knew nothing about the history of them so the book in the kitchen was a perfect added touch. The retro dining area was perfect, comfortable and enjoyable to have a family dinner. There is plenty of comfortable seating in the living room for the whole family. The carpet is new and very clean so I had no worries about my granddaughter crawling around. Beds were comfortable and bedrooms spacious too. There were plenty of towels, dishes, soaps and the added extras were much appreciated. Coffee bar fully stocked, water bottles in the refrigerator, ice made in freezer, and a bowl of chocolates for that late night snack. We definitely had a great stay here! The floor does get a bit chilly, but it is the middle of December so just remember your slippers. They did have some to borrow in case you forget. ;) They have definitely thought of all the little touches to make it feel like a home not just a rental.

Fantastic stay in mid-century historic house

This was our first stay in a VRBO. And we hit the jackpot! Comfortable, tasteful mid-century and eclectic furnishings in a piece of post-war housing history. If you don’t know about Lustron houses, read about them on the web. I’m so glad this Lustron house is available for vacation rentals! The owner was very easy to deal with and has packed the house with so many nice, hospitable touches. There is so much to do in the area, and after doing all the activities it’s so nice to come back to this house and relax. We’ll be back!

Fond memories

My grandparents owned a Lustron home, so staying here was like revisiting fond childhood memories. Back then, the home didn't seem so unusual; now it's definitely a post-war time capsule. The original features are in very good condition and the home is spotlessly clean. Everything was as described, very comfortable and in good working order. Appreciated the snacks in the kitchen.

A Nostalgic Home in a Great Location

The neighborhood is quiet and the neighbors were friendly. The property is a snapshot into history and was very well maintained. It is close to so many Southeast MN attractions like hiking, bike riding, and walking around the lakes. If you are in the area, it should be on your list of places to experience.

1950's Lustron ranxh house in a beautiful quiet setting

What an amazing Lustron house! This 50's gem is 5 miles from Winona in little, quiet Minnesota City. We enjoyed the comfy beds, cute 50's style steel ranch house and totally peaceful surroundings. Clean and really comfy.
