Nice quiet place. Owners are kind. The place was very unique and comfortable. Cooking with a gas oven was a forst for me, but got the hang of it. Really liked how remote it is. Short drive to Mt. Kato and Mankato.

Fabulous Stay

We had everything we needed and more: fans, binoculars, extra blankets, fire pit, and so much more! Everything was very clean and organized. The land around the cabin was so spacious and beautiful to walk around. It’s such a peaceful and relaxing area, and Carl and Ann were so kind. I plan to keep it in mind for future friends and/or family getaways.

Girls weekend

The cabin was wonderful, it had everything you would ever need. Not sure what I can say, we loved having coffee on the screened in porch, the chickens were fun to watch. The walking paths were great to just get outside and enjoy nature. It was clean, easy to find. The hosts were great.

Mankato trip

We had a great trip to Mankato. The house was beautiful and clean, with so many fun details. The property itself was wonderful. The kids loved the playground equipment and being able to watch the chickens. The location was ideal for visiting Mankato and Minneopa state park. The hosts were friendly and made checking in and out a breeze. Thanks for sharing such a unique property and we hope to return again.
