Century Cottage-PERFECT for Mayo & downtown visitors!

In Lowertown-A quaint cottage with modern updates is your home away from home! Fully furnished and a well stocked kitchen make it a wonderful place for overnight stays or longer term rentals. Beautiful patio provides an urban sanctuary at the end of a long day. Close proximity to Mayo Clinic-downtown restaurants, grocery stores and shopping are within walking distance. Two blocks in either direction puts you on the trail system. Public transit 1 ½ blocks away and a laundromat is ½ block away.

This home provides everything you need for a stay in Rochester: fully furnished, all kitchen essentials and if there is something you need just ask and we can probably provide it! This home's two bedrooms sleep 4 people comfortably. There is also a “bonus” room with a queen size bed that can be used as a third bedroom . (Additional guests over 4 are $10 per night) During the summer season we are happy to have you help yourself to what is growing in the backyard garden. We typically have asparagus, rhubarb, onions, tomatoes and peppers.

You will have access to the 1 1/2 story home, the yard and patio. There is free street parking. The basement is private owner area. We live next door so can be available when needed. We are happy to share our knowledge of the Rochester area and of course our favorite restaurants!

We LOVE our neighborhood as it provides us with the sustainable lifestyle that is important to us. We can walk or bike to most everything we need within 10 minutes. We try to be as environmentally conscious as possible so don't use any pesticides, insecticides or harsh chemicals inside or out. In 2021 the newest additions to our urban homestead were CeCe, Tiffany and Sunshine-three laying hens that provide us with the eggs we need. The home we live in (next door) has been featured in several articles in and around Rochester as we strive to achieve as close to net-zero energy use as possible. If you are interested in a tour let us know!

This neighborhood is in the perfect setting; close to downtown but away from the main busy streets. Goose Egg Park (named for the shape ;-) is 2 blocks away and Silver Lake Park is 3 blocks away-so easy to take a little stroll on the paths or around the lake. Nearby in the Cook Park area of Lowertown are Garden Party Books, Pop's Art Theater and Wear Local. 125 Live is one of the newest offerings in our neighborhood with classes, art shows and many other events happening. Rochester Farmer's Market operates year round at Graham Park on Saturday mornings and in the summer Wednesdays are added.

My Stay at Century Cottage Rochester MN
My daughter and I stayed here while I had 2 full days of appointments and testing at the Mayo Clinic. It’s a beautiful and cozy house. It’s immaculate and has everything you need for your stay. The host Mary is very nice and attentive. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Rochester MN.

Spring Break Retreat
We enjoyed our stay in Rochester, visiting extended family over spring break. The house was clean and pleasant and communication with the hosts was helpful and prompt. I can tell they've put a lot of thought into their property from the perspective of their guests, from the items available in the kitchen to the helpful info provided in the guidebook. The Internet connection was fast enough for Dad to connect to some important work meetings. Overall a great stay and we plan to come back!

Amazing
This place was awesome me and my friends used this as our spring break getaway and it didn’t disappoint. Mary was great at communicating with us and left an awesome guide book in the kitchen to help us with finding stuff to do. Rochester was a beautiful town and a great place to get away from our normal lives and just have a weekend of relaxing!

Just like home
Coming to Rochester for appointments at Mayo is never a fun experience. Being able to come back to the cottage at the end of the day made the trip that much easier. The house is very comfortable, and Mary has thought of everything down to the smallest of details to make that happen. If we ever come back to the area, we will definitely looking here as the first option for a place to stay!
