HOME OF THE GRAND MADISON LAKE PADDLE FISH
State of Minnesota issued a seizure permit #202888 for us to be able to keep the skull and a replica of the fish. This skeleton of a paddle fish washed up on Madison Lake beach in 1989. From this skeleton the folks at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and the Missouri Game and Fish department provided their best estimate of weight over 100 lbs, length 68 inches, and age approximately 35 years old. Paddle fish are plankton eaters with no teeth and are harmless to humans and illegal to catch in Minnesota.

Lots of off street parking for all your water toys! 150 lineal feet of sandy beach with over hanging willow trees to hold the pan fish close for shore fishing. We are in the process of building a sand box for when the water levels are high and our beach is under water. Our fish cleaning shed with screens, light, and water as well as a space to keep your gear locked up over night (bring your own padlock) is now finished! We have two boating docks available! The boat ramp is a short drive around the bay to the south. For our fellow artists we have set up a bright classroom area facing Madison Lake. It has 12 desks with easels and brush holders, drawing boards, and a grand instructors oak easel, storage cabinet, extra folding chairs and stools all looking toward the lake. Ideal for sleepovers or just an evening of wine and cheese paint parties! Great as an extra option for more sleeping space when renting our Log Inn #HA9246925 two parcels away which sleeps 24 and has plenty of extra social spaces! Scrapbookers welcomed!

Perfect stay for wedding weekend

Family Reunion gathering
We had a wonderful time in our short stay at Artists and Anglers - we all wished we had more time to really enjoy the lake, the amazing game room and all the other amenities! The house was lovely, clean and comfortable. And the hosts had the kitchen stocked with snacks and beverages - an unexpected and appreciated extra touch! The amenities were as listed and more, the fall colors were beautiful, the hosts were easy to communicate with and friendly — everything was 5 stars! We will be back next fall if Artists and Anglers is available!

Perfect Getaway for Teens and Parents
The house was perfect for our group of older kids and two adults. There are many fun things to do on the property and we took advantage of them all (game room, fishing, kayaks, relaxing, outdoor yard play, watching football, video games with our own system we brought). The house was clean and well equipped, and Dorothy was fantastic with communication and taking care of us. Thank you! We hope to return.

Great family home
The 7 of us enjoyed some great family tome. Something for all of us from 13 - 68 years old. We all enjoyed the large game room. The kayaks were a hit with the younger ones. Very well stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were great.

More than we expected
We had no idea that the property came with kayaks, a paddle boat, other boats, and life jackets. We also didn’t know that it would be stocked with toys. All of these extras made our stay wonderful. We wish we had been able to stay and enjoy the place, but we were joyfully busy because our son and daughter-in-law got married in Elysian at Ahavah Cottage and this property was less than five miles from the venue. It was perfect.
