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.

Perfect and comfortable

Our group was in Mankato for the Marathon. Some of us were running and the rest were support staff. House was great for cooking and resting and being together. Definitely recommend.

Wonderful hospitality

A great place for a long weekend getaway. The house was stocked with everything we needed and we appreciated the owner’s fishing advice. Our kids painted in the studio and loved the downstairs sleeping and TV area.

Memorial Day Weekend Getaway

Great weekend away. House is extremely clean and perfect for multiple family rental. Kids enjoyed painting, paddle boating and swimming. Beautiful views of the lake from living room. Dorothy and Jerry treated us as family since the second we booked.

Great family home

The 7 of us enjoyed some great family tome. Something for all of us from 13 - 68 years old. We all enjoyed the large game room. The kayaks were a hit with the younger ones. Very well stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were great.

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!

Perfect family house

We picked this house for its proximity to my daughter’s college as, she was graduating. We wanted a place for everyone to stay that had not just location but, activities and amenities. The added bonuses are Dorothy and Jerry! With them you want and need for nothing. Don’t hesitate to book this property you will not regret it, my family enjoyed our time here!!!

Great house with everything you need

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. The kitchen has not missed a single detail. Everything you can possibly ask for is there to use. Thank you so much!

Family Reunion gathering

We had a wonderful time in our short stay at Artists and Anglers - we all wished we had more time to really enjoy the lake, the amazing game room and all the other amenities! The house was lovely, clean and comfortable. And the hosts had the kitchen stocked with snacks and beverages - an unexpected and appreciated extra touch! The amenities were as listed and more, the fall colors were beautiful, the hosts were easy to communicate with and friendly — everything was 5 stars! We will be back next fall if Artists and Anglers is available!

More than we expected

We had no idea that the property came with kayaks, a paddle boat, other boats, and life jackets. We also didn’t know that it would be stocked with toys. All of these extras made our stay wonderful. We wish we had been able to stay and enjoy the place, but we were joyfully busy because our son and daughter-in-law got married in Elysian at Ahavah Cottage and this property was less than five miles from the venue. It was perfect.

Christmas chaos

We have 8 grandchildren under the age of 11. When we are all together it’s busy and noisy. The extra playroom/garage area was perfect! We played minute to win it games with the kids with plenty of room to spare. We also brought sleds and a snowmobile for outside activities. The living room had a nice sized area we could blow up a queen sized mattress for 6 of the grandkids to sleep on. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and our time together.

Graduation

The good things—property was clean, a nice setting. Dorothy was very sweet and helpful and they left wine and snacks for us which was a really nice surprise! They also left water in every room and the decor was vintage and charming. They stocked it really well with paper towel, soap, etc. The not so good— bugs were bad-mosquitoes, flies and ants inside and out. I’m not sure but I think they were getting in from the greenhouse area that we were told to keep open (into the house). Disappointed in the lake as it wasn’t one I’d swim in—it was dirty (more like river water) but definitely a good fishing lake. Overall we had a good time!

Of Mice and Men

House was basically as described. Definite musty smell as you enter. Property manager showed up unannounced to "just say hi" while we were out in front of the house so didn't hear the doorbell. This was followed by text messages (that we didn't see because phones were not in hand) asking permission for owner (who lives right next door) to come inside to check mouse traps that were set throughout the house (or just to make sure we left doors open as instructed by the notes that were attached to them ie-a "greenhouse" type of room that was likely source of mice and musty smell was to remain open at all times). Overall- stay was good- beds comfortable. Just felt a little too intrusive- definitely aware we were in someone else's home and not "alone" for the weekend.
