Ladder entry into and out of the water. Bring your own boat and tie up! Paddle boards and swim mat are there for your use. Life jackets not provided.

The game room is a large room in the garage with a pullout couch, futon, TV and large table perfect for family game night!


The Cottage is only 2 minute walk from Uncle John's Bar & Restaurant (open Thursday-Sunday) and a 5 minute walk from the King's Marina where you can rent pontoons during the summer time.

The Cottage on Lake Zumbro
We had an absolutley amazing vacation at the cottage! The waterfront cottage gave us all the activity that we wanted, plus fabulous views with sunsets and sunrises. The accomadations were awesome the bunkhouse was a great addition. Also having Uncle John's resteraunt across the street was very handy and the food was great. We will for sure be staying at this cottage again in the future.

we all had a really great time , everything was just as stated in the description. having an actual beach in the area would be a plus, as access to water is a bit difficult off the end of the dock . we are looking forward to planning a return trip.

Beautiful weekend getaway with friends!
This cabin is quaint, clean, and perfect sized for four friends (we didnt need the bunk house)! The lake area is fairly quiet so relaxation was easy! The lawn is well shaded so even our warm days felt cool with the lake breeze! Bill and Bette were fabulous and keep the charm of the cottage. We will definitely be back ...a great oasis for a break from life!

Good times and pretty lake front. The cleaning solution was extremely strong when we arrived... I definitely recommend changing that to something much weaker. Otherwise everyone had a good time.

Cute Cabin on Zumbro Lake
Having to deal with some pretty difficult stuff at Mayo in Rochester, what a treat it was to escape just 10 miles away and stay in such a peaceful place. The cabin is nicely appointed, clean and has beautiful surroundings. A super friendly neighbor dog also ventured over to greet us - nice old pooch! Highly recommend Tilly's in Oronoco too!

Summer Getaway
Our two families enjoyed this lovely spot nestled on the shores of Lake Zumbro for a few days of post=July 4th relaxation and fun on the water. The cottage and bunk house were comfortable, well cared for, and offered plenty of options to keep the kids entertained with wakeboarding, swimming, fishing, s’mores, paddle boards, and just watching the water.flow by. Thank you Bill & Bette for sharing this special spot - we hope to be back again soon!
