About this property

Lakefront home on Middle Jefferson! Only one hour away from the Twin Cities!

Only 1 hour from the Twin Cities and 20 minutes from Mankato, our year-round home is the perfect lakefront getaway! Enjoy our kayak and paddle board or put your own boat in to explore all that Lake Jefferson has to offer! In the summer, enjoy the lake views from the patio furniture on our newly renovated deck. There's a table to enjoy a meal, sun loungers to soak in the rays, or a comfortable sectional to relax in the shade. There is a fire pit by the Lake to enjoy on calm nights. For Boaters - We're located on Middle Jefferson. The public launch is located on East Jefferson (5 miles from our home), and there is a channel between East Jefferson and Middle Jefferson that can be accessed via boat. We can provide more in-depth directions and a map if requested. Although West Jefferson Lake is not accessible via boat from Middle Jefferson, the public launch is located less than 1 mile from our home. The Jefferson chain of lake is very popular for recreational activities such as ice fishing (winter), swimming, fishing, tubing, water skiing, jet skiing, etc. Please note that our watercraft is not included with your stay, and please bring your own life jackets if needed.

Lake like glass

Fam getaway

Everything as advertised. Beds quite comfortable and nice smart TV to watch football game. Plenty of linens. We didn’t really cook but kitchen well stocked if you wanted to. Really great campfire ring by the lake and able to have nice fire and make smores with grandkids. Used deck several times and enjoy the view.

sooooo much FUN!!

Just what we were looking for….a quiet, peaceful place by the lake for a weekend get-a-way! My family made many memories together as we enjoyed kayaking, paddle boarding, paddle boating, and water toys! We also played many rounds of corn hole…..and loved sitting around the fire pit roasting hot dogs and s’mores! Hiked at nearby Minneopa State Park where there is beautiful waterfalls, trails…and a bison herd to experience!

Lovely house on the lake

We had so much fun visiting Minnesota right on the lake, especially with all the water toys -- paddle board, pedal boat, lily pad, and kayak! House was lovely and cuter than in the photos.
