Reviews From Our Guests

  • Mark
    Our 3rd year in a row staying here for annual ice fishing trip. Brooke is super easy to work with and we just love the house. Very spacious for our group of 8. Just a really great house in a great location!
  • Stephanie
    We had a great stay here for our annual girl's weekend. The set-up was perfect, and Brooke was great to work with- she accommodated a later departure time and even left muffins and fruit to welcome our group! Would love to stay here again in the summer and definitely recommend Brooke and her home to others. Thank you!
  • Rebecca
    We stayed here for my folk's 50th Anniversary in Mankato- close enough yet off the beaten path enough to feel off the grid! Loved the size and simplicity of Brooke's home! Great amenities, amazing views, waking up to lake air and sunrise through bedroom windows is a memory I will never forget. Hope to stay here again!
  • Bahea
    Brooke was responsive, flexible with our check-in/out times, and gave us the information we needed to have a relaxing stay at the lake house. Price was great as well for our group. Highly recommend :)
