Lake Zumbro Getaway

Clean cute cabin. Location to Rochester was an easy 20 minute drive. Cities along the Mississippi River were a 30 to 45 minute drive for shopping/site seeing/dining. Owners replaced the coffee maker promptly the next day when I commented that it was not working correctly.

Mayo Clinic cancer surgery

I was here 5 weeks while my husband had major surgery. If you’re wondering if it’s too far- it’s not. If you’re wondering if it’s too small- it’s not. Ignore the couple of bad reviews or comments. Some people just suck. My favorite rental I’ve ever stayed at. A little piece of Heaven after the stress of the hospital. Bill and bette were great and make sure to meet neighbor Sue, next door. I’ve made friends your life. Do yourself a favor and book.

Fun lakeside stay

Good times and pretty lake front. The cleaning solution was extremely strong when we arrived... I definitely recommend changing that to something much weaker. Otherwise everyone had a good time.

Cottage life

We had a great experience at the Cottage! Very peaceful and had a great homey feeling! Fence around the yard was awesome for our kids too. We spent days relaxing and swimming off the dock. We also fished and kayaked alittle bit too. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Home Away From Home

This cozy cottage on the lake had everything our group of 7 needed! Ideal for groups with lots of room to spread out inside with the use of the “bonus room” connected to the garage and numerous outside spaces to relax and enjoy the incredible view of the lake! The paddle boards and Maui Mat got lots of use! Appreciative of all the thoughtful touches that were provided! Communication with the host was quick and easy throughout our stay! We would definitely return!

Relaxing place

Great view of the lake, cozy, beds are super comfy kitchen is well stocked and has what you would need to enjoy a good meal… would have been nice to have access to TV we were there to recover from medical issues and not having that was rough but they did have videos so that helped… moving the smart TV would be a nice added bonus… overall a nice relaxing place

Wonderful girls weekend!

We loved staying at the Cottage on the Lake. Besides being lake side in a beautiful area, we loved all the little touches that made the place extra special, like having things we might have forgotten, such as sugar, coffee, shampoo, etc. The towels were maybe the softest, largest towels I've ever seen - and there were so many of them! The bird book and binoculars were another nice little touch. We are already planning our next trip to the Cottage for next year!

Relaxing Getaway

This was the perfect place for our family to unwind for a few days. Quiet, private and relaxing. The patio provides a great space to kick your feet up and soak in the sights and sounds of the river. The weather was great during our stay so we cooked and ate most our meals on the patio too. There isn’t a beach nearby so the provided lily pad was a big hit with the kiddo as a way to enjoy getting into the water. Sadly, we didn’t get a chance to use the bunk house because we were outside so much but it would definitely come in handy on a rainy day. We also made a day trip up to the Minnesota zoo since we were so close to the cities. We will definitely book again. Thank you.

Fall trip

My sisters and I go on a fall trip every year. Our stay at the cottage was amazing! Sitting on the deck looking at the lake, fishing, playing the games and just sitting around the fire was so relaxing. We had beautiful weather. The cottage was just right for us. The beds were very comfortable. The host even provided little extras if you had forgot to bring things. The cottage was very clean and cozy.
