Tony and Teresa were excellent hosts who helped make our stay in Rochester as comfortable as possible. Very convenient location for appointments at the Mayo Clinic

Clean, spacious and well thought out. Less than a mile from Mayo Clinic. Owners were responsive to our questions. Has central air conditioning! It was close to 100 last week and we were comfortable.

This by far was the best option for our family to stay in while we had many clinic appointments. Tony and Teresa were extremely responsive with any questions. The house was SO CLEAN and comfortable. They even had a pack n play, baby gate and strollers for my 20 month old son.
The home had an old charm with all the modern conveniences one would need. We all felt at home and safe while staying for a few days running back and forth to the clinic. The location was great. Wonderful river walk, playground and plenty of ducks and other wild life to watch.
We definitely will be booking again for any upcoming trips.
Of the 5 adults who stayed in the home, we had not one single complaint! The hosts truly thought of everything one would need while staying in their property.
Thank you Tony & Teresa!!

The house becomes a home away from home while staying. It is spotlessly clean, fully furnished, very cozy and comfortable with all the amenities anyone could desire. It is set in a charming neighborhood close to Mayo Clinic and the Civic Center. There was a massive snow storm while we were there and Tony was quick to make sure our car was equipped to handle it and to see if we had early appointments at the clinic. He cleaned all the snow from the property and we felt safe and secure. Since we came in February we were unable to take advantage of that inviting front porch. I could picture us rocking on it while having our morning coffee.
The house is a gem and so is the owner.

First off, the house is SUPER cute and everything was like new, literally. The kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms were so well equipped it had everything you needed. My very tech-oriented kids never had to fight for space or a charging station because they were everywhere. They also have a great table for puzzling. Such a great location close to downtown shops and restaurants. Did I mention that they even decorated the house for the holidays? They did and it was beautiful.
The absolute best part of all was Tony! We stayed in late Dec 2022 during a major winter storm and he reached out to us BEFORE our stay to be sure that we were aware of the weather heading to town. He then came over and shoveled the driveway and front steps... in - 20 wind chill. Not once but every time it snowed! It was like having family in town looking out after us. AMAZING. Truly!

My husband was having a procedure at Mayo and we needed a comfy place to stay for the two of us plus our in-laws. The Blue Vista was perfect! Extremely clean, comfy beds, enough room for all of us, beautiful decor and they truly thought of everything. There was even a Christmas tree in the living room which really brightened our spirits! And there were pre stamped Rochester postcards which, bring an avid lover of snail mail, was much appreciated. Those extra touches make all the difference. Mayo is literally a mile away. Tony, the host, was so easy to work with, very responsive and kind. We are looking forward to staying here again - this place made our trip to Mayo that much better!

This was an excellent stay for both work and recreation for my husband and myself. The residence was superb, kitted out with everything one needs, including beautiful contemporary decor and appliances, lovely amenities and a pleasant 10" walk to downtown. We would definitely like to choose Blue Vista house again if we return. The hosts were exceptionally responsive and we felt welcome. The neighborhood is safe, quiet and across the street from Mayo Memorial Park and the river.

Our family of 6 adults and 4 small children stayed at this property in order to attend a family reunión in Rochester. We were so pleased that it was totally refurbished in a modern lovely way. Very comfortable and extremely well appointed, with a lot of attention to detail: a full supply of spices in a well stocked kitchen, nice toiletries in the bathrooms, fresh new towels, comfortable and good looking bedding, a big selection of DVD movies, books, Rochester information, even cute notecards to mail. The hosts were very accessible and ready to help. A very pleasant stay.

Probably the best property my family and I have ever stayed in. Cannot think of a single thing that could have been better. The house was convenient for us as my father was receiving treatment at Mayo Clinic, and is near many places in Rochester. The house was well-stocked with amenities throughout, from tea and coffee to snacks to bathroom toiletries. It’s an old house but completely updated and sparkling clean. Lots of space to relax, unwind, sleep. Would absolutely stay here again. The attention to detail to provide a comfortable stay is truly commendable.

We stayed at this home for a week while my wife was a patient at Mayo. The location is perfect, a short 4-minute drive to the clinic (it was winter, we weren't walking). Also close to a fantastic local Whole Foods-like grocery store (People's Co-op). The home itself was very comfortable, with a great kitchen and bedding. Highly recommended.

This property had been excellently redone top to bottom. The furnishings and accessories for VRBO guests are above and beyond. The instructions for everything from internet to coffee to checkout are extremely helpful. The neighborhood is a little rundown, but you are steps from downtown and running / walking paths along the river. It's the trade off for proximity at a very reasonable price and lovely accommodations. I would recommend this hone for families who just cannot fit in a normal hotel room or who wish to stay together. Great spot!

Perfect for a three day trip for my wife and her girlfriends. Spent the time checking out area shopping and dining. The 4 bedroom home had all necessary amenities. They had nothing but good things to say about the host and hostess. Highly recommend ‼️

We so enjoyed the l
peaceful residential location of this home yet across from the park, the river, and o close to the downtown area. Also the comfy couches and the great mudroom laundry back entry for bringing in the shopping were favorites. It was a clean, comfortable home away from home. Many thoughtful touches and kindnesses were noticed and appreciated as we were staying for quite a while during treatment at Mayo. There was plenty of extra sleeping space for our family or friends to come visit a couple different weekends. That was important since we were far from home and going through a bit of a health crisis. The first week while I still had energy for it, we rode the bikes which the hosts left for our use along the river bicycle trails. Beautiful! Later in our stay we took walks across the walking bridge toward the downtown and enjoyed watching the ducks and geese. Tony was so quick at getting back with us and when we had a flat tire on one of the bikes he brought a whole new bike over for us. Tip: For the best view in the house sleep in the upstairs bedroom facing the river.
