Pet-friendly cottage in the country 15 mn from Mayo Clinic

A simple and cozy country getaway awaits you just 10-15 minutes from the city. Spend your evenings catching beautiful sunsets, or under the stars by the fire pit It's the perfect setting for roasting marshmallows. Meet our resident hens, roosters, our friendly dog who is part of the family. Pet friendly, don't leave your furry friends behind, they're welcome here!
Conveniently located just 15 minutes from the Mayo Clinic and downtown Rochester, 10 minutes from the Rochester International Airport and I90.

Welcome to the Cottage at Sundog Homestead!

You will be staying in a private one-bedroom loft cottage on a 7-acre hobby farm with lots of wildlife. We have 2 barn cats that roam around. We have 4 roosters, 28 chickens that range freely during the day in our backyard. We sell farm fresh free range eggs for $5 a dozen or $3/half a dozen, please inquire for availability if you would like some during your stay.

The cottage is an updated old grain building separate from our main house (which is yards across). There is ample parking on the property. When we are home, you may see us working on the farm.

The kitchenette has a multifunction air fryer, microwave, toaster, dual brew coffee maker, and a fridge. There is no stove but an electric skillet to cook with. A grill (charcoal and gas) is at your disposition for year-round BBQ. There is a counter top water dispenser with hot and cold water.

The bedroom is up a staircase on the loft level. Be advised that the loft has a low ceiling and may be inconvenient for people over 6 ft. The stairs are steep which could be a problem for people with mobility issues. We have had guests who chose to sleep on the sofa (1 person). It does get hot upstairs in the summer, there is a portable AC and a fan to cool off.

There is plenty of space on the property for your furry friend to explore and run around, no need to keep on a leash! Please inquire if you have more than one dog, extra fee applies. We ask that puppies be crated when left unattended in the cottage.

The house has a septic system, please no wipes or sanitary products can be flushed. Thank you.

Enjoy the stars while soaking in a Scandinavian hybrid wood-fired hot tub and electric sauna! We would like our Mayo Clinic patients and their family to have a place to stay at a reasonable price so we would like to provide the option to use the hot tub and sauna for a pay-as-you-go fee of $15 per day of use. Firewood is available on-site. This option and payment methods are provided upon check-in.

This is a pet-friendly accomodations, be advised if you have allergies to dogs or cats!
During your stay at this cottage, you'll be close to Salem Glen Winery. The cottage includes amenities such as a kitchenette and a Smart TV.
  • Air-conditioned cottage with kitchenette, Smart TV and fridges

Perfect stay on beautiful farm
The cottage is updated, clean, and well maintained. I stayed for one night on a cross-country drive. I just slept downstairs because I had my dog with me so I can't comment on the loft but the couch was very comfortable. Jeremy was really nice. The pictures don't do the awesome property justice. Highly recommend.

Relaxing place to stay
My husband and I were in town for appointments at the Mayo Clinic. It was so nice to come back to this relaxing getaway each night after the medical stress. The hosts stocked it with everything we needed and were so nice.

Cute & Convenient Location!
This little cottage is in the perfect location, very peaceful in the country, but a short distance from Stewartville or Rochester. Had everything we needed for a weekend stay, including a smart TV & Wi-Fi that we could stream the Olympics on :) it was a very hot weekend & the AC felt great. My husband had to be careful to not hit his head in the bedroom loft area, but was perfect for me (5ft tall). Overall we were very comfortable & would recommend!

Peaceful retreat
This was an absolutely lovely cottage in a quiet farm setting. The cottage was beautifully renovated with modern fixtures and excellent Wi-Fi. My dog was also welcomed and had his own amenities provided by the host. Access was easy. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect!!!
Perfect place to get away from the hubbub of the city, yet close enough for Mayo clinic appointments. Quiet and serene spot that our chihuahuas loved. The hosts thought of everything even towels and treats for the pups. we loved our stay there and if we ever find ourselves back in the Rochester area we will book this as our home away from home in a heartbeat! Oh did I mention CLEAN - my first impression was that the cottage must have been recently remodeled. Loved our stay here!!!

Great escape from the city!
Myself, my son and our golden retriever had a great stay! We enjoyed being out in the country and checking out the property together! The cottage was perfect for us and our needs. On one of our morning walks we watched pheasants fly out, from their roost in the pine trees, and into a neighboring field. Turkey and deer tracks were spotted as well. Our Golden Retriever loved the space and running around. When we head to the Rochester area again, we'll be checking if this is available again. Great hosts and a great property!
