It was so much fun to stay at this lake front house. It's a perfect place for enjoying time on the lake. We loved watching people fish and you'll have a good time fishing from the dock in front of the house. The Sakatah State Trail is just around the corner. You can take some real good walks on that. There's also state and county parks nearby.The lakes and country side are beautiful. It's so much fun in that area. There's lot's of nature to enjoy and it's within driving distance to larger towns for things you need. The host is super!We'll stay there again the next time we're in the area. It's a neat cabin that reminds me of my childhood. We Loved it!

The host was wonderful. The house was fantastic. We really appreciated that they decorated the house for Christmas. The kitchen had eveything we needed. Also the wall of windows in the kitchen/dining area provided a beautiful picture of a frozen lake with an eagle flying around.

Awesome family get away.

Although we did not stay with our kids it would be the ideal place to stay with your kids. Plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen area is ideal for whole family meals. The house is a great layout with sleeping quarters upstairs. The lake was nice and clear and would be great for swimming in. All in all a great stay!

Relaxed setting with beautiful views of the lake. Tom was a great host. The little kids had fun with the lily pad between the 2 piers. Lots of small panfish for the young ones to catch right off the piers also.

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.

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!

Ice Fishing Get Away

3 couples getting together to ice fish, play cards, catch up. The home was perfect for our needs. The view was wintery pretty. We used our sxs to get from house to fishhouse. Even caught a crappie, a nice sized walleye and few northern. Would definitely recommend and go back again..

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

We stayed 3 nights in this very comfortable and inviting home. The layout of the home is really ideal. We spent most of our time in the lower level. The wall of windows down there facing the lake was awesome! We could go upstairs if we needed quiet time. We did not use the available lake "toys" because of the humidity but we sure the beautiful and serene feel of the lake! Our host checked in early in our stay which was VERY nice to make sure we were comfortable and had what we needed. He also responded to texts if we had questions. That was very much appreciated. Great weekend for 5 friends to be together!

This lake home is a gem! The neighborhood is quiet and the views of the lake are second to none. The cabin was clean and tidy, things throughout the house were clearly labeled to help locate any needed items. Communication with the host was very quick and helpful. I will definitely recommend this lake home to friends and family! We visited the Rusty Flamingo in Elysian. A cute little shop with antiques and Knick-knacks. We also visited an antique shop on the east side of Mankato, which was just a quick 20 minute drive away from the cabin. The food at Fischer’s Corner Bar was just what we were looking for. Our last morning on Lake Francis, we had coffee, a breakfast bowl, and HUGE cinnamon rolls from Lolli-pop’s Bakery, also in Elysian. Delicious and only about a 5 minute drive from the cabin.What a wonderful relaxing weekend!
