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.

Very convenient
Great location near restaurants. Large, lovely bathroom on second floor. This older home shows its age, but was fine for us attending a family reunion.

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.

Clearly you have left a review for the wrong property. Our place is well maintained and pictures are exactly taken of the property.

Overall, this was a good place to stay. The bottle of wine and snack bar was a nice touch. The temperature was well controlled with air conditioning and fans.

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?
