We enjoyed relaxing at the lake home. It was a quiet location and the property was in great condition. We slept well on the beds provided, and they were very comfortable. The views of the lake were gorgeous. Thank you for a great experience!

We had such a wonderful stay here over Easter weekend. While the weather wasn’t super great, the house was perfect for playing ping pong, watching movies and lounging around. Beds were super comfy from the mattresses to the pillows and sheets. That plus room darkening curtains made for an extra relaxing weekend. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to cook in. Chris was a responsive host and very nice to work with as well. All that to say, we were so glad we chose to spend our holiday weekend here and hope to stay again in the near future!

#LakeLife

We stayed here for our daughter's graduation at a nearby college, and we absolutely loved it. The house easily accommodated our larger group and everyone had a comfortable bed. There are extra fridges to minimize trips to town and plenty of hot water. The views and sunsets were absolutely phenomenal! We played games on the big table, cooked tasty food, roasted marshmallows and enjoyed the kayaks. Very quiet neighborhood with friendly people. It is a 15-20 minute drive to St. Peter, 15 minutes to Mankato, and 75 minutes to the Twin Cities and Mall of America. Highly recommend, would stay here again if/when we are back in the area.
