The property was perfect for our family! The rooms were spacious and everything was very clean and well stocked! The location was ideal being right across the street from Spirit Lake and we found an elementary school nearby with slides and swings to keep the littles busy! I would definitely recommend this property!

A wonderful stay!

The house was beautiful, clean, and spacious! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the porch and the large living room for visiting at night. The beds were comfortable, and the house was well stocked with everything we needed.

Great Place!

We stayed at the house while in the area for a family reunion and absolutely loved it! It was immaculate and well stocked with amenities. Every room was nicely decorated and we liked all the room to relax. It's in a great location and we enjoyed our walks over to the lake. The coffee shop and cafe are in easy walking distance and had great menus. We are already making plans to book again next year. Great place!!

Fabulous!

Pam and Janelle were great hosts. They have a beautiful home that worked perfectly for my family. The walk to the beach was really short and the swimming area was so great. They had everything in the house plus more than we needed. Great location to create wonderful memories!

Family vacation

Our goal for the week was relaxation, fishing and swimming. Kids in our group ranged from 7-16 and everyone had a blast. Location right across from the city park and beach was perfect and convenient for unlimited beach and swim time. Also many lakes near the area to fish. The house was huge with room for everyone and all the “little things” included. It was a great week and a great place to stay.

Happy in menahga

Happy with the experience that the host provided. Very clean and well-equipped. I will give them 99 out of 100 and would be a hundred if there were an extra shower. Still, very happy with everything.

Thank you for the positive review! We greatly appreciate feedback! The upstairs claw tub is such an iconic feature of the house, it’s been a hard decision to replace with a shower. We totally understand and again, greatly appreciate your feedback!

Very nice historic home, spacious. Kitchen very well stocked. All rooms and beds were comfortable. Front porch and back fire pit were a hit with our group. We enjoyed the location, right across the street from Spirit Lake with a beautiful large deep beach, ice cream shop right off the beach. Lots of extras like fishing poles, pack and play, plenty of towels, blankets, hooks for drying clothes/beach towels. The owners have put a lot of effort in making this a comfortable stay. The upstairs kids room was whimsical but the electric situation seems a little tenuous the use of extension cords and some outlets not working.

We had a family reunion at the Stately Home. We found everything we need (and somethings we didn’t know we needed) in the kitchen. The hosts responded promptly to our questions and checking in was a breeze. I think the experience can be summed up by our 7 year great niece. She was visiting from Japan. During her first video call with her Dad, who was unable to join us, she walked through each room showing her dad the “fabulous” house we were staying in. As we were leaving on our final day, hugging everyone, this same 7 year old hugged me and said “thanks for this perfect house.”

Perfect spot for our family. Plenty of room and spacious. Beautiful location across the street from the lake and walking distance to a coffee shop and ice cream shop. The porch was screened and very relaxing to sit and see the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Janelle and Pam

Host profile image
We are two sisters who have maternal roots from this area (Ylitalo). We wanted to create a home away from home, a space where families can reunite and spend time with each other!

Why they chose this property

Menahga is one of the safest cities in MN. Google it. We wanted to be by the lake & walking distance to stores, restaurants and shops!

What makes this property unique

This home is over 100 years old, has been preserved and well cared for. It has served in many purposes over the years as a house of service. A couple of examples are a boarding house for the kids of the menahga school teachers, a doctors office, hospital, bed and breakfast & much more. It has such a warm welcoming feeling that embraces all who stay here.
