Rochester House | Peaceful Solar-Powered Country Home 6 miles from Mayo

3 Bedroom House in Rochester, Eyota

Irish Ridge Farm is a B&E (that’s Bed and Eggs!). Our farm house is located five miles east of Rochester, MN making it a convenient, homey spot for any Rochester visitors, especially Mayo patients, who will find a relaxing and rejuvenating environment. We are quiet and rural, yet 15 minutes from downtown Rochester with all the city amenities. Our home, now solar-powered, is cozy but not fancy and we hope you’ll find it imbued with a warm energy that comes from all of the happy memories that our family made over the last 60+ years.
We have three bedrooms (one queen and two doubles) that comfortably sleep six people. The kitchen is stocked with cookware, dinnerware, silverware, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, and dishwasher. You can also have a cook-out with the outdoor gas grill. In season, we stock the fridge with a carton (or two) of fresh eggs from our happy, free-run chickens. As with many houses of its era, there is a single modest bathroom, with an extra shower and vanity in the adjoining laundry room. A shed protects your car from those frosty Minnesota winter mornings. Irish Ridge Farm provides central A/C, WiFi, flat screen TV with cable, free laundry, games, and books to peruse. There is a baby grand piano for you to create beautiful music whether you are a accomplished pianist or just like to tinker.
Children are welcome. Kids find it great fun to explore 160 acres of meadows, trails, and woods as well as the red barn that has hosted many barn dances over the years.
We have chickens, a goose, sheep, goats, a couple of barn cats and a friendly Lab. Favorite farm activities include walking mowed trails, hiking to the woods or up the country road to a small lake. Cranes, eagles, hawks, swans and pelicans are commonly spotted. Bird watchers will be delighted. Some outdoor activities in the area include biking, hiking, swimming, canoeing, fishing and x-country skiing. Rochester has a Saturday Farmers Market, many cultural activities, and plenty of great restaurants.
Irish Ridge Farm presents a myriad of opportunities to relax. Each season has its own character: from spring-time morel-hunting to summer-time gardening and watching the glow of the fireflies; from savoring the fall colors to star gazing and snow shoeing in the crisp winter air.
Our ancestors, Irish immigrants, settled the area in 1858. In 1949 our parents bought the farm where they lived and raised a family for over sixty years. Martha moved back to the farm over 25 years ago and she and her husband raised their children in the house across the driveway. Margie lives in Madison, WI with her family and returns often to spend time on the farm. Guests from around the world have found that the Bowman family on Irish Ridge welcomed them with open arms. We want to continue the tradition by hosting you and your family at Irish Ridge Farm. There are no strangers here, only friends we haven’t met.

Summary: Wonderful short stay. Super friendly hosts, including the barn cat Wally! Cozy, comfortable home with vintage charm. Very relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful rural setting just outside of Rochester. The sheep, goats, chickens and barn cats were great company! What a treat to know the nearby crops and garden are grown organically. My family and I loved it. It was like staying at a friend’s home

Summary: Just a quick weekend getaway for our family (2 adults, 1 preschooler) but highly recommend! The house was clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully outfitted as far as supplies, kitchen equipment, and so forth. The location is very peaceful and quiet, but still super convenient to Rochester, 10-15 minute drive depending on where you need to be in the city. And the owners are absolutely delightful people, friendly and very generous with their produce and their time (our preschooler had such a blast "helping" with farm chores). A++

Summary: The farmhouse was a wonderful stay for me and my seven year old. We had a fabulous time watching the animals and walking around the property. The location to Rochester was very convenient and we were able to see a lot of the local sites easily. The house was very clean and while it retained its historical character, wasn’t lacking in any way. We would totally stay again!

Summary: To put our experience into a few words is very difficult because it was more than we ever could have imagined. Marsha and husband Mark are delightful. They truly want to provide you with whatever you seek. If you want to stay quietly in their sweet VRBO, it’s peaceful, beautiful, quiet, inspiring. If you want to collect eggs just because, or walk the pastures, chase the cats, listen to sheep and goats-you can. We were lucky enough to join M & M and family for pizza. The history of the ridge is incredible. The story of the family, intriguing. Read the Irish Ridge binder and the journal that guests write in re: their stays and their experiences. So many things you just need to experience yourself to be left without words great enough to explain the experience. A gift in so many different ways. We’ll be back!!!

Summary: This home is a lovely, peacful place to come and relax and slow down in life. We were greeted with two smiling faces who showed us around the farm and told us to treat it like home :). Inside the kitchen we found homeade muffins, fresh eggs and butter! Out kids loved running and playing with the animals (especially the kitties) and loved fetching eggs to cook for breakfast. Our family enjoyed this home and will definitely be back!

Summary: We loved our weekend stay on the farm, going for walks, helping feed the animals, and taking in nature. The house is perfect for a family and a great location close to Rochester for those who love the countryside but also want to have access to the city while they are on vacation. Hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. We hope to be back soon!!

Summary: This was our 3rd stay at the Irish B&E. Like many traveling to the Mayo Clinic we are grateful to find a relaxing place to unwind after a long day of appointments and procedures. This property absolutely fulfills that need. The home was exceptionally clean and well appointed with everything needed. The hosts are amazing and warm people who always make us feel right at home from their warm greeting to the organic butter, muffins and farm raised eggs they have waiting upon arrival. The farm is beautiful and we especially enjoyed the evenings visiting on the screened in porch. The Mayo Clinic was an easy 12 minute drive away. I would highly recommend this property. We enjoyed our time there so much we can’t wait until we get to stay again!

Summary: We were looking for a special place to have an early holiday get-together for our adult children/spouses, grandkids and us. It had been four years since we had all been together! When we found Irish Ridge online, we knew it would be just the right spot. I grew up on a farm and everything brought back great memories of my grandparents’ house across the road. When we arrived, there were fresh eggs and applesauce muffins waiting. Our grandkids had a great time feeding the VERY friendly goats, petting the cats and playing foosball, hockey and music in the barn. Martha and Mark checked in with us to be sure we had everything we needed and even let us have some Brussels sprouts from their garden. We would highly recommend Irish Ridge to everyone and we can’t wait to return!
