About this property

The Cabin at Lake Francis

Just 60 miles south of the Twin Cities Metro area and 75 miles west of Rochester, Minnesota is your next lake home get away! Located on the shore of beautiful Lake Francis, one of Southern Minnesota's best lakes!

The lakeside cabin, affectionately called the "Nut House", features three bedrooms, a full bathroom, living room, dining room and kitchen. With two queen-sized beds and three twin beds, the Nut House comfortably sleeps seven.

The cabin offers central air conditioning, washer and dryer, wireless internet and cable television.

The beach area is clean and weed free, offering a great swimming area that is clearly visible from the deck area. There is also a lakeside fire pit and hammock.

The city of Elysian is just blocks away and offers two convenience stores, several restaurant and bar options, and easy access to the Sakataw Singing Hills bike and snowmobile trail.

Pets welcome, but limited to one dog under 40lbs.

Exceeded Expectations!
This was our first experience with an online booking and we were beyond pleased. The accommodations were first class, the neighbors were friendly and the weather was perfect! Looking out over the lake in the morning with a cup of coffee in hand or watching the sunset in the evening while contemplating the laughter and joy of the day was everything we had hoped for. A perfect way to reset!

Break from the heat
We enjoyed all the things that cabin life provides. Sitting on the deck with the shade and lake breeze to the grandkids swimming in the shallow waters. Tried fishing from the boat but found more sucess from dock. Late night fires and just relaxing.

Wedding Weekend
We stayed at "The Nut House" after our daughter's wedding at Ahavah. The house was super clean, beds comfortable, great outdoors area; where we were able to catch many fish right off the dock. We will book again!
