Wedding Adventure

We had a very nice time at your location. Great location for the wedding venue. A little smaller than I was expecting but worked well for our group. Pillows are quite hard…just an FYI for future guests.

Perfect Comfy Retreat for big Family

We had 14 of us visiting Gustavus college and we all fit comfortably. Cooked ourselves a lovely dinner and had plenty of space and everything we needed for the whole family. Would for sure book again.

We stayed here for a wedding in town and it was great for the two families to stay at. They were very accommodating and let us drop off our bags early before the wedding.

Absolutely Amazing

We were in town for my sons wedding and wanted a dog friendly place to stay. The Lodge was absolutely amazing and has so much charm! There were 11 adults and 3 dogs for the weekend. There was plenty of room for all of us. The house was filled with everything we could have needed from coffee to shampoo. Highly recommend!!

Family time in Minnesota

Since our family is spread out (Alaska, New York, Kentucky) it's good to get together and be able to sit around kitchen table and talk. Had time to spend with Minnesota family also. GREAT weather for July!

Accommodating

We enjoyed the time that we were there will the ability to visit and play games. The weather was not cooperative and we had to place a bucket in the middle of the living room floor due to rain leaking in. Other than that everything was great.

Great location for enjoying St. Peter

Nice property, I would want people to know that the 3 Queen bedrooms are nice, one of them has pass through to the other bedroom in the attic, so something to consider if people are staying in that area, privacy becomes a concern. If you choose to use the (double bed) bedroom on the main floor, be aware that that is the only bathroom on the main floor, so again privacy is a concern. Ideally this is a 3 bedroom house for practical purposes, with kids and family maybe not as much of an issue.

Great options

We weren't at the property very much, but it met our needs well and had amenities I would definitely appreciate even more if I returned for a longer trip or did more in the house. It had a host of choices for areas to hang out in comfy chairs as a group, circle up around the same table, tvs in rooms, quality wifi. We didn't need to communicate with the property manager during our stay since no issues came up, but they were great about providing all necessary info ahead of time. Our main destination was Mankato, which is a short drive away, but there's also gas stations and fast food closely located - we didn't visit anywhere else and I wasn't paying close attention.

Great place for a short sisters-getaway

The house was perfect for our quick 2-day sisters vacation. The weather was hot, and there was no air-conditioning in the house (except for maybe one livingroom?). Every room had a fan, so that helped us sleep comfortably. The third floor was uncomfortably hot, but there was a portable air-conditioner that we used to cool it down a bit. All five of us sisters are 60+ in age, so the stairs had to be maneuvered carefully. All-in-all, we had a wonderful time and would definitely rent this place again if we decide to meet in St. Peter!

Perfect for our need

The house was clean, with plenty of room for 5 of us to spread out. Windows were a bit drafty on this chilly weekend, though the heat more than compensated for it. Floors are a bit creaky so there’s so sneaking up on anyone. Nice that there was a first floor bedroom for my 82 year old mother. One bathroom is decent sized but the other was very small. Perfect for my petite mother! Host was very helpful and responsive, accommodating our late checkout request. Thank you Sherlyn!
