About this house rental
Nestled in the bluffs of Winona, Minnesota, The Driftless Retreat is a cottage in the valley just one mile from Saint Mary's University and a 10 minute drive to downtown Winona and the Mississippi River.
The cottage features a private front and back entrance, large backyard, and woodburning fireplace.
Our hope is that The Driftless Retreat is just that, a retreat away from the every day. We believe that every detail matters and take pride in making your time here relaxing and enjoyable.
The space
The Driftless Retreat is located along Gilmore Valley Road. There is a steep shared driveway and the cottage is first home on the left. The space includes two bedrooms with a king and queen bed. There's also a pull out bed in the sofa in the living room. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a coffee and tea bar along with typical cooking items. The bathroom has a rain shower and hand held shower head. We supply all natural Public Goods shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and hand soap. There is a medicine cabinet and storage closet in the bathroom where you will find towels for each guest. A washer and dryer is available for guest use at no cost. There are two televisions on the property in the living room and master bedroom with access to Netflix. Finally, there's a beautiful wood burning fire place in the living room for small fires on cold evenings.
Guest access
We will send you a code before check-in that will get you in the front and back door.
Other things to note
Be careful as you leave the driveway as it is steep.
This property uses a surveillance device (smart doorbell) and is only used for security purposes.

Need to provide more utensils ( teaspoons) for kitchen. Gas grill ignition not working, battery corrosion, but could light with lighter. Otherwise a wonderful stay, very clean and comfortable.

Excellent stay for visiting family and exploring Winona. The vast fall view from Garvin Heights was exceptional. This was my second stay and I am sure I will be back.
