My wife had a week of early morning appointments at Mayo and this rental was perfect. 10 minutes to the clinic. Much much more reasonable than any hotel would have been and we could cook our own food since my wife had to be on a restricted diet for her treatments at Mayo. Very quiet with nice view outside. Even had deer in the backyard. Proprietors were right next door so if there were any needs they were on it. There is a 5 night minimum stay but if you have a number of Mayo appointments it’s great. Stay an extra couple of nights and see some of the beautiful state parks in southeast MN. We might consider staying here to do just that come Spring Summer and Fall

The Viola Suites was a life saver. Our new construction home was not ready and we'd sold our home. I was happy to find a short term, reasonably priced, furnished, pet friendly rental but even happier once we arrived and settled in. We stayed for four weeks and Rebecka and Michael (new owners) couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming. They even bought a pet bed for our sheltie so she would be comfortable during her stay! The suites are fully equipped with everything we needed to cook, clean, and live as normal a life as possible while awaiting our new home. It's immaculate, comfortable and has a lovely big yard. It's close to Mayo Clinic, downtown, a supermarket and hiking at Quarry Hill. I highly recommend staying at Viola Suites!

Thank you Judy for the quite home away from home. We had everything that we could have possibly needed and we enjoyed our stay as much as we could under the circumstances. If we know someone coming to Rochester, we will be sure to tell them to contact the Abbey. Everything was perfect! Nicole Scott

We stayed with Viola Suites for 6 weeks in February/March of 2016 and found the unit to be very nice and comfortable and very well equipped. It is so much more than a motel room! Less than 10 minutes from Mayo Clinic, we found it to be very convenient. The manager, Judy, is very personable and helpful, and very concerned about the guests she has staying in her units. We highly recommend Viola Suites to any Mayo Clinic patient with a longer term stay..

We stayed 11 months due to Mayo Clinic. Everything about it was wonderful...people..scenery..hospitality..prices..Judy the General Manager was #1. compassionate..and most rewarding we call it our 2nd home.
