About this property
Lakefront property with beautiful view of Lake Zumbro 20 mins from Rochester
Lake Zumbro... a little piece of heaven not far from Rochester where you can relax and create memories that last a lifetime! 
Our vacation rental on Lake Zumbro will offer you a spectacular view of the lake in any season. Fenced in yard, landscaped steps, and beautiful gardens will lead you to our 2 bedroom cottage with a covered porch, outside dining area, and outside bar area.
The cottage is quaint, cozy, and has many comforts from home complimented with a beautiful lake view and lake access. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a closet and the second bedroom has 2 queen beds and a shelved closet. The living room and kitchen are open in design.
Out the front door, with a direct view of the lake, stairs lead down to the water where there is a large floating dock to accommodate relaxation in the sun or entertainment on the water. Ladder entry into and out of the water. Bring your own boat and tie up! Paddle boards and swim mat are there for your use. Life jackets not provided.
The game room is a large room in the garage with a pullout couch, futon, TV and large table perfect for family game night!
The Cottage is only 2 minute walk from Uncle John's Bar & Restaurant (open Thursday-Sunday) and a 5 minute walk from the King's Marina where you can rent pontoons during the summer time.

Hello!
We are Bill & Bette, owners of The Cottage on Lake Zumbro!
We have been members of this lake community for over 20 years now and have loved to call this place our home away from home. We have enjoyed our children growing up coming to this lake every summer and have countless memories here spent on the water, pontooning, waterskiing, and enjoying this property.
We hope you find this property as special as we have and choose to spend time here with your family and friends!
