Filled with a blend of old and new our home includes refinished furniture, custom artwork, and a vintage style you won’t find anywhere else. We’ve remodeled this 1963 time capsule, adding our own personal style to create an experience for you to enjoy! We have everything you need to feel at home. Located in a quiet neighborhood at the center of the city, our listing is on the bus line and close to downtown and Hwy 52. We purchased this 1963, mid-century home from family friends, and were so happy to restore this outdated rambler. Although we have tried to remain true to mid-century style, much of the house is new! Renovations have included all new appliances, new countertops, kitchen redesign, new flooring, new light fixtures, new window treatments, new shower, new exterior doors, full interior and exterior painting, and all new or refurbished furnishings! If we don't say so ourselves, this place has so much character, and it looks awesome! Maybe mid-century modern is your thing, or maybe it would be fun to try a new style on during your vacation! We were very fortunate to have the whole family involved as we renovated our space. Emily’s dad was the main carpenter, and Emily’s mom the main painter. Alex’s parents made many weekend trips from Wisconsin to offer a hand. Being away from home for appointments, surgeries, or even school and internships can be stressful. We hope that our home provides a space to relax and restore your body and soul. We have incorporated art pieces, trinkets, and books to offer peace, positivity and hope to all who enter. Treat our home as your own. Other amenities include: Roku with Netflix, board games, books, extra blankets, Keurig and large coffee pot. Guest access The entire house is yours to enjoy including full kitchen, dining and living areas. Laundry is located in the basement. Weather permitting, enjoy the backyard! Our attached garage is available for your convenience during your stay! Guest interaction We live approximately 2 miles from the property and are available in the evenings if needed. We work at the clinic during the day, but texting is a great option for quick questions or issues! We enjoy interacting with guests, but will certainly give you your privacy. If you are staying longer than a week we like to prepare dinner one night for you! We also have retired family members in town who can help out in a pinch! Neighborhood overview Located in a quiet neighborhood northwest Rochester, it is a great central location. Just 2-3 miles from Mayo Clinic. The city bus picks up on the corner - about 5 houses down! Quick access to Highway 52 offers a gateway to shopping and restaurants. Bike and walking trails are within 2 blocks. Getting around Bring a car and park in our attached garage, hop on the city bus, or grab an Uber. For those with medical conditions or disabilities there is a transport service in town. We can provide you with other personalized details upon contact. House Rules Suitable for children (2-12 years) Suitable for infants (under 2 years) Not suitable for pets No smoking No parties or events- We have some leniency on this rule in regards to events.

We spent the weekend at Betty's Bungalow and we're delighted to find a wonderful home that was clean, cozy, and very well stocked with everything we could need. Our hosts Alex and Emily saw to all the details that made our stay special. We will be back! ##### Ann D. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### staci p. Apr 21, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect Place We came for a family member to have surgery at Mayo and Betty's Bungalow was a great place to call "home" during this crazy covid 19 pandemic. Alex and Emily were amazing hosts. ##### staci p. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittany M. Oct 25, 2018 #### Charming - Just Right I am a patient at Mayo and usually stay at a rental home as I come 1000 miles, one way, from Tennessee. This house had everything my mom, uncle, and I needed. There was even a welcome note with some goodies. The kitchen is beautiful! The wifi is also very speedy. I appreciated the quiet street and cleanliness as well. I would stay here again, especially as it is within minutes of the main Mayo Hospital - and recommend it to anyone as an alternative to uncomfortable hotels. Thank you to the owners! ##### Brittany M. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bradley B.

This adorable little house for our needs perfectly. They have all the amenities that you could want and they are very responsive. We were able to cook almost all our meals at "home," which saved a ton of money. We had a wonderful stay and would be happy to stay again if we are in the area. ##### Rebecca N.

We will definitely be back! ##### Sarah T. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerra M. Feb 18, 2019 #### wonderful, welcoming home The house was wonderful for our family of 6- so much larger and more welcoming than a hotel room. The hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. The kitchen was fully equipped and even had items one might forget to bring like jam or ketchup. The location was quiet and convenient. They even had some fun strategy games and other board games. ##### Kerra M. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cambray P. Mar 19, 2018 #### Felt like home! What a perfect retreat house this home is! I can’t wait to make a visit again to Rochester soon and stay at Betty’s Bungelow. Our family was so relaxed and felt right at home during a busy weekend of volleyball. We loved the amenities, fuzzy blankets, washer dryer and so much more while staying!! Sitting in the living room in the evening I was so glad we were relaxing with well enough space rather than cramped in a hotel room. ##### Cambray P. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachel K. Feb 8, 2018 #### A true home away from home Thank you so much Alex and Emily for being such tremendous hosts for my son and I during our nearly month-long stay while enrolled in a program at Mayo. The home was just perfect for the two of us. And when my husband and daughter came one weekend, my daughter had her own bedroom. The kitchen is fully supplied for cooking and all of the accommodations are beautiful. The beds were very comfortable, too. I highly recommend staying here. You'll feel right at home. ##### Rachel K. Stayed 23 nights in Jan 2018
