Prairie View Cottage! New backyard deck at private and cozy country retreat!

Big skies, sunsets and 360 degrees of privacy and prairie views. Cozy, comfy and completely remodeled two-bedroom one bath home just 25 minutes from Mankato, 10 minutes to America's Glory Barn (aka JR's Barn) and 20 minutes to wedding/conference venues in Waseca.

All new inside and out with open floor plan from kitchen to dining to living spaces. Squeaky clean private bedrooms and bath, plus a Tempur-Pedic queen mattress in the sleeper sofa. Enjoy the big backyard off the brand-new two-tier deck with no neighbors in sight. Just added in August 2025. Enjoy the sunrise and morning coffee from the deck and sunsets from the great room or hang out in the attached garage for sheltered and casual connections to the vast outdoor spaces.

The Backyard Bar and Grill in Pemberton (6 miles) is a local favorite for food and fun, and the Indian Island Winery hosts live weekend entertainment just 11 miles down quiet country roads. Or take a leisurely drive (or walk) around Mott Lake wildlife area (less than 1 mile) or take in the pastoral views from country lanes along Bull Run Creek just a mile north.

Less than half-hour drive to Mankato, Waseca, Mapleton, Janesville, New Richland, Wells, Waldorf, and St. Clair.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a dining table.

Beautifully updated property in the country, surrounded by green cornfields. So peaceful with colorful sunrises and sunsets. Immaculate. Perfectly furnished and stocked.. even including local history info. Ideal spot to get away and breathe in peace and quiet. Very convenient to anything you may need driving 20-30 minutes. We will definitely stay here again.

Quick getaway to the Nations Glory Barn

I stayed here while I was visiting The Nations Glory Barn in Waldorf. It is the coziest little cottage. Loved taking walks around the property too. They keep it very clean and it had everything I needed. The owners were very nice and always got back to me in a timely manner. I would love to stay again sometime! :)

This place was a fantastic little escape to the country for my family and our friends. The space was open and inviting and well stocked with everything we needed for a two night stay. I will say we had to take some extra measures for our two year old to be as least destructive as possible, but then again, is there really any space safe from a chaotic two year old? Regardless, wonderful experience!

Beautiful Well Equipped Farmhouse

What a beautiful home! The hosts have recently remodeled and the home was a stunning mixture of modern farmhouse furniture with beautiful wooden antiques. Very tastefully put together, the house had everything I needed for a peaceful, long term stay. Comfortable bed and couch with great views across the fields of corn with birds chirping and flitting about. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. The hosts were very gracious and I will come again!
