Crista was very responsive. There is plenty of parking. The apartment is within walking distance of shopping and many restaurants. The only negatives I have are easily remedied and should not deter anyone from renting here. First, TVs in the unit only offer streaming and there are no instructions as to how to use them, for those unfamiliar. Second, there were no instructions on how to lock the door. We discovered that we had to enter the code and push the lock button twice in order to secure the unit. Simple instructions for these two concerns should make this unit a great choice for anyone."

Just be aware, visitors, that you are staying above a bar which closes at 2 am and has an outdoor patio, so if you prefer to sleep with your windows open, you will be hearing the sounds of the fellowship below. Also sirens. Overall it was a very nice stay though." - "This place has everything you need! right above the wine cafe AND a wine store if you love to drink! It does have an AC unit, which we loved because it did drown out any extra noise. The owners left this on for us when we arrived so it was so nice and cool!

- "This was the perfect place for us to stay while visiting our son who attends Mankato state. " - "We enjoyed our stay here! Our host was very communicative and accommodative, and there were great house-warming amenities. The house was clean and cozy! " - "We really loved our stay in Mankato. The house is lovely and well appointed The bed was very comfortable and each bathroom was nice. The lock codes worked as described and the alleyway access was well explained.The only aspect of the kitchen that we used was a few dishes and the coffee maker -- but perfect for us on this trip. We walked to downtown Mankato from the house. It was a nice walk of 20 minutes to the restaurant we wanted to eat at. The only thing that confused us about the house was the "shared pantry" and sodas/waters in the refrigerator. We did not find a description of charges for these items -- or were they free? We came supplied with a few snacks and beverages so it did not matter. We did not use the TV setup so I have no opinion.WiFi worked well and the password was given to us. "

The walk out lower level with radiant heat flooring and 9.5ft ceilings has two additional 1/2 bathrooms, two large separate recreational/gathering spaces with a staircase to each.

The game room side can easily be cleared out to set up yoga mats, tables, chairs or whatever you may need. Laundry facilities are available for use in the lower level as well.

Madison Lake is a quaint town just an hour south of the Twin Cities. Surrounded by many lakes, the area offers a nearby winery/wedding venue, numerous small lake towns, 2 waterfront restaurants, 2 universities and shopping in the quaint town of St Peter... all within 10 min.

A quick 8 minute drive into Mankato will find you every store, mall, restaurant and movie theater you will need during your stay. Or stay put, enjoy the views and let Shipt or Door Dash do the running for you! Lake George is a quiet, fully recreational lake with public access.

This home is set on just over 2 acres, with plenty of trees and 250+ feet of lakeshore. Currently, there are 2 large decks and a fire pit area. There is a stair access to the lake and a floating fishing dock. There are youth kayaks and youth/adult SUPs available for your enjoyment. Please bring appropriate size life jackets, if desired.

Other things to note
TRAVEL INSURANCE:
Although never anticipated or hoped for, things can come up may prevent you from completing you stay. Unfortunately, because your advance reservation blocks our calendar and prevents other guests from booking, we are unable to make exceptions to our cancellation policy. That said, we highly recommend that guests consider purchasing travel insurance and are happy to provide any needed documentation should an issue arise that prevents you from coming or completing your stay.. Travel Insurance protects you should you need to cancel, interrupt, or delay your trip, due to a covered reason.

CLEANLINESS:
Before every guest arrival, detailed pictures and video will be taken to ensure cleanliness is up to the highest standard before your arrival.

THE GREAT MN OUTDOORS:
We love our wooded, lakefront setting but unfortunately cannot control Mother Nature or its inhabitants! Although we have excellent pest control in place, insects and bugs are a part of our thriving ecosystem and we cannot eradicate them all together! You can help keep them outside by keeping doors open as minimally as possible. During your stay, you may also encounter deer, turkey, bunnies, raccoons, etc. We also hope you have perfect weather and lake conditions during your stay, but by booking our property you acknowledge that we cannot be responsible for the weather or many factors that can impact lake conditions. Events must be approved prior to booking.

- "This home was perfect for our 17 memeber family to celebrate my dad's 90th birthday. It was spacious, clean and well appointed. Communications with property manager was prompt. I loved the guide they sent a week prior to our arrival...very complete and informative. Weather wasnt great ,so we were inside a lot. Awesome variety of games to keep 5year old to 90 year olds busy. 14 of us played giant Jenga...even the 90 and 87 year olds! What a great family memory! If we get the opportunity, we will book again! We will bring bottled water next time, none of us adjusted to the taste of the water. Overall, we had an amazing time and really enjoyed this property."
