We enjoyed our mid-week stay very much. Very nice lake house with a nice view of the water from most rooms. Tom was very accommodating in helping to make our stay very enjoyable. We would highly recommend and hope to go back. Gary and Caryll

Quaint & Relaxing
A quaint and scenic stay for any family with all the fun filled water toys you can ask for. Lake view from sunrise to sunset is breathtaking and plenty of open area for the kids to run and have fun. Our family created wonderful memories at this lake home.

Enjoying lake time with the family!
We had perfect weather for our stay and the host was great! Everything was as expected. The kids loved the lily pad and the kayaks. We cooked, played games, fished, and swam a ton! Nice location and quiet setting.

Wonderful!
We had a wonderful time during our recent stay. The cabin was well cleaned and prepared for us. The owners were a delight to communicate with and the lake view was just what we had hoped for. We have children ages 4 and 2 so swimming off the dock didn’t work as well for us BUT the public beach in town was perfect! Kids had a blast. We appreciated all the amenities the cabin had to offer and our stay was more than comfortable. Especially if you have small children like us, we highly recommend checking out the Children’s Museum ($) and Sibley Park (FREE fun!) in Mankato. Thank you Rother Family for sharing your awesome space with us. We are so grateful!

Nice lakeside get-away
If you’re expecting hotel type accommodation this is not your cupola tea. Plenty of room for guests; kitchen amenities were good; We paid extra for water toys; the paddle boat pontoons were half full of water- super difficult to drain & it didn’t have a rope to tie it up with. So I’m giving it a 3 star

Great spot
Tom was very responsive and helpful. The house was very clean and comfortable. We had young kids along that were able to catch fish right off the dock. We also rented the lily pad and it was a hit with the kids. We loved our stay!
