We enjoyed relaxing at the lake home. It was a quiet location and the property was in great condition. We slept well on the beds provided, and they were very comfortable. The views of the lake were gorgeous. Thank you for a great experience!

We had such a wonderful stay here over Easter weekend. While the weather wasn’t super great, the house was perfect for playing ping pong, watching movies and lounging around. Beds were super comfy from the mattresses to the pillows and sheets. That plus room darkening curtains made for an extra relaxing weekend. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to cook in. Chris was a responsive host and very nice to work with as well. All that to say, we were so glad we chose to spend our holiday weekend here and hope to stay again in the near future!

The stay at this house was wonderful! The beds were comfortable, the grill was clean and the kitchen was pretty well stocked. We also had plenty of towels and toiletries! The kids loved the darts, ping pong and games in the basement. The bedroom and bathroom sizes were great and the TV had many choices if you get rained inside. There was a lot of book choices for different ages downstairs (please note though that if you are over 6', you may need to duck to go into the basement). The view of the lake was wonderful. Our only disappointment was that we could really only have 1 person fish off the pier because of the 2 boat/ jet ski lifts on either side. We ended up having to drive over to the fishing dock on Madison Lake for 3 boys to fish at the same time (which isn't far). The kids did love swimming right at the house and it was shallow enough there to not need life jackets. Overall, we had a great stay!

#LakeLife

We stayed here for our daughter's graduation at a nearby college, and we absolutely loved it. The house easily accommodated our larger group and everyone had a comfortable bed. There are extra fridges to minimize trips to town and plenty of hot water. The views and sunsets were absolutely phenomenal! We played games on the big table, cooked tasty food, roasted marshmallows and enjoyed the kayaks. Very quiet neighborhood with friendly people. It is a 15-20 minute drive to St. Peter, 15 minutes to Mankato, and 75 minutes to the Twin Cities and Mall of America. Highly recommend, would stay here again if/when we are back in the area.

The whole house was as clean as a whistle. Very well appointed. We had everything we needed for an enjoyable weekend at the lake. The house is so roomy! Games galore. A great view to wake up to each morning. No issues with anything at all. Check in, TV, WIFI, smells, temperature, check out expectations. You name it, they had all the details covered.

Lake location was beautiful. Close to good hiking at Minneopa State Park and 7-mile creek. Several good restaurants in St. Peter and the co-op had a good selection of groceries.
