Wenopa - Charming 3-bedroom home on a Lake Manitou peninsula in Rochester

Our property has a spacious parking area, but it’s the last one on the street. Consequently, vehicles may turn around using our parking lot.

Lovely spot, excellent get-away

This lake house is cozy, spotless and well maintained. The house has everything you need: new appliances, comfortable furnishings and everything works. The property is beautiful--we loved watching the water and identifying all of the birds we spotted in the trees, on the water and on the peninsula (the goslings were adorable and comical to observe). The outdoor space is very livable--and when it rained, we were happy indoors. We were 3 adult friends on an artist retreat, and this was perfect for us. We each had enough space to spread out and do our own thing, and there was ample common space when we came together to talk, cook and eat together. We also enjoyed the kayaks, the lake is lovely!
