Designed with ice anglers in mind, this home offers lake access located just across a quiet foliage road and down a short set of steps. You will be able to reach the lake easily while enjoying a little extra privacy. After a full day on the lake, relax in private hot tub. To warm up or unwind indoors turn on one of our 2 fireplace mantles and enjoy a game of darts or our provided board games! This home is well suited for fishing groups looking for comfort, space and a cozy place to recharge. We have 3 bedrooms and the house will comfortably sleep 8-10 people. You’re also close to Lake Francis, Lake Elysian, Lake Washington, and both Lake Jefferson’s, giving you multiple options for Walleye, northern pike, crappies and panfish. We are conveniently located just about 30 miles from Faribault, Mankato, and Owatonna. We are conveniently located down the road from Kamp Dells campground and waterpark. If you’re looking for a bite to eat stop down at the Corner Bar where they treat you like family and enjoy some delicious food!

We visited at the end of January and it was pretty cold. We let them know and they brought us blankets and let us know it was ok to turn up the thermostat. They also agreed to let us checkout an hr later when a family member that was coming to pick one of us up got delayed due to snow.

The house has the most beautiful views over the lake from sun up to sun down! We were able to see some eagles on the ice which was a treat. The place is extremely clean, cozy, and has everything you need- even down to soft, cuddly throw blankets and everything in the kitchen to cook dinner.Thank you so much for having us- we will certainly be visiting again!

Beautiful home, easy to find. We were there over a snow storm and property owner was amazing with getting us shovels & ice melt. Great communication. Had a couple minor issues but they were resolved very quickly. Would definitely stay again.

Such great hosts to work with! Well supplied home with an incredible deck, covered area & hot tub! Huge well stocked kitchen made group meals a breeze. Lake access was great with a private dock enabling us to kayak without having to drag our kayaks back every time. Generous with dish soap, laundry, & shower products & paper products without us having to re-stock midway like most furnished rentals. Comfy beds & couches. We will stay again!

The Lake House was pleasant and had some great space to social with friends with two large TVs and casual spaces along with a spacious deck. There was also access to a dock, although the lake wasn't the greatest water quality and the boat landing on the lake was closed. We did get out on a boat going through the next lake over. The downstairs bathroom was nice and there were plentiful towels and soap provided. We were intrigued by the metal ceilings! The downstairs couch was comfy. There were a few things that didn't live up to my five-star standard, based on other bookings. Some of the rooms had damage or nearly finished feel to them. The kitchen was stocked, but there weren't many plates, bowls, or silverware for multiple guests for multiple days, basically enough for one meal. None of the bedrooms had tables of any kind, like a nightstand. Many of the windows had a lot of dead bugs in them, but it is a lakeside home. Finally, the hot tub was broken during our visit and we only found out the day of check-in. We asked for a refund and were offered a small refund for two nights, which isn't nothing, but I don't think the unit is worth the price without the hot tub. Something to check on before you book. This place has 5-star potential but it's not quite there yet!

A little miss-communication to start the stay but they quickly resolved it. Place was clean and comfortable. Seems some updates are still in the process. Fire alarms missing. Overall we would stay here again it’s very roomy and quiet.

We totally enjoyed our stay. Space was perfect for our family. Was a couple holes in the wall downstairs, I am sure you were aware of. No one could connect to Wifi?Just a few things to bring to your attention for further bookings: Ants and spiders in house, hot tub not clean, could use more blankets for bed use, top sheets, maybe a blow dryer available for use. Some interior/exterior work needed. But overall stay was pleasant
