ARTISTS & ANGLERS INN - game room - home of Madison Lake Paddlefish!!

*****Game room is finished****** great for family and friends to have fun!
rolling bar, kitchenette, pool table, ping pong table, foosball, smart TV, couch, large refrigerator, microwave, additional seating areas! Lots of dishes bowls and glassware!

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!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 3 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Perfect for a family stay

We rented this property and the Log Inn for a family stay and had a wonderful time painting, enjoying the lake on a pontoon boat from a local rental place, and just taking in the beautiful lawn.

Great Family Time

Our family enjoyed our week at Artists & Anglers. There were eight of us with plenty of room for everyone. The game room was great for those times when everyone was inside and doing various activities. The kitchen had everything we needed. The hill to the lake was okay for our party, but for anyone who has mobility issues, it would be a challenge to go up and down, if you wanted to get to the lake. There was plenty to do!

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.

We loved our stay. The house is so roomy. A huge Game room made for lots of family fun! The lower level is an adorable suite, and the upper level has the best sun room ever to enjoy your morning coffee. The owner was very responsive to questions.
