About this property

Luxury Lakefront Cabin Retreat in Madison Lake MN Sleeps 20 2 secluded acres

Welcome to our luxury lakeside retreat, nestled on 2 acres in the woods of Madison Lake, MN.

Lakeside Lookout will take your breath away with the wall to wall, floor to ceiling window overlooking serene Lake George… a small, but fully recreational lake. The perfect backdrop for your getaway.

With over 6500 sq ft designed with large groups, retreats, and multi-generational families in mind, this cabin accommodates 20 guests with 5 bedrooms and 8 baths.

THE HOME
We are excited to welcome you to this lakeside retreat! Check us out on IG (lakesidelookoutMN) to follow our progress as we get ready to welcome our first guests beginning May 1st.

Designed specifically for large groups, multi-generational families and retreats in mind. Starting with the large foyer... Step in with plenty of room to drop your stuff and make yourself at home!

Beyond the foyer, you will enter into our open concept kitchen, dining and great room space with a cozy hearth room tucked just off the great room. The wall to wall windows is a show stopper and lends beautiful views of the lake and occasionally a large family of 16 deer. If you love to cook on vacation, you will love the fully stocked kitchen boasting a 48” gas range with double convection/bake ovens, 12 ft island, 2 dishwashers, stand alone Subzero fridge and freezers and a walk in pantry to store all your ingredients.

On one side of the kitchen/great room area you will find the "bunk house" with 6 queen size beds (10 ft ceilings so great for many ages), separate changing area and an open concept bathroom with a double concrete vanity and 2 private shower/stool rooms.

On the opposing side of the kitchen/great room area are 3 additional bedrooms. One with a private full bath and the other 2 bedrooms sharing a Jack N Jill full bath. The final bedroom is located upstairs complete with a private bathroom and balcony overlooking the great room.

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. One rec space is set up as a game room and the other a “man cave”, with a large theater room between the two spaces. 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. We are 15 minutes from Scoops Ice Cream shop, which is located on the Sakatah Singing Hills State Trial. Grab a cone or coffee before renting their bikes to explore 39 miles of paths. 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.

Lakeside Lookout is a brand new build so the outdoor spaces will be evolving as weather permits, therefore the current pricing reflects that landscaping is still in process. This cabin 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 not yet a landscaped access down to the lake and it may be difficult for guests with mobility challenges to walk the steep hill down. We will communicate with you what has been completed between the time of your booking and your reservation but cannot guarantee that any landscaping will be completed before your reservation. There is an angler paddle boat, youth kayaks and SUPs available for your enjoyment. Lily pad available upon request. Please bring appropriate size life jackets, if desired. If you have questions or concerns about the status of the landscaping, please inquire prior to booking, and we will be happy to give you any updates we may have!

*Please note the final touches of interior design details are being completed and there will be some additions/changes to furnishings and décor pictured as we prepare for our first guests!


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.

Perfect family gathering spot!

We were looking for a location near Mankato for our family to gather together and also to celebrate the New Year. We found the perfect location and the space was lovely! The 6 grandkids ages 2-9 loved the bunk room space and the lower level entertainment space! Ping pong, arcade, theater room, games, blue tooth speaker for dancing…it was all great! The kitchen and open dining area was lovely as well with the amazing view and windows facing the lake.the adjoining fireplace area was nice for putting together a puzzle. The decor was clean and peaceful vibe. We thouroghly enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Family Time

We enjoyed a summer weekend in this beautiful home! Views were stellar and the house was more than comfortable. Lake George quiet. Lots of room, games and opportunities to spread out! Host was so kind and informative.

Cozy, and just as pictured!

This home is just as beautiful as pictured. Its very clear how much time and effort was put into every detail. We have 4 toddlers, and many age ranges of other guests, and there was more than enough to keep our family busy. The sensory swing in the basement was especially appreciated by our neurodiverse kids. We had everything we needed to make ourselves at home!

Wonderful property

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.

Lovely Family Reunion Location

This is a gorgeous property with beautiful views, thoughtfully designed and artfully executed. There is plenty of space for a large gathering - we were 17, including 8 kids ages 4 - 15. There are many different hang out areas, so you never feel like you are on top of one another. We cooked most days, and the kitchen was well supplied and functioned well. The basement is great, especially for kids and teens (and adults who want to play). We had some crazy ping pong games, learned country line dancing in the theater room, had some fooz ball tournaments, and generally enjoyed ourselves! The landscaping was coming along - we were not able to access the lake easily, but there are several lakes near by with beaches. That said, our intrepid teenagers did take the paddle boat out from the house and had fun. As the owners continue to evolve the property I'm sure the lake will be even more accessible. The blackstone grill on the patio was a big hit - nothing like cooking 20 pancakes at the same time! All in all this is a great place - beds are comfy, showers are great, plenty of space for everyone in your crew and the most beautiful views of the lake from the great room.

About the host

Hosted by Jen

Host profile image
My husband and I have been renting cabins for 20 years for retreats and weekends away with friends and family. After just a few of these getaways, we were brainstorming a layout that could accommodate big groups like ours better and the first sketch of Lakeside Lookout was born on a napkin in a cute coffee shop. 20 years later this dream became a reality!

Why they chose this property

We chose to build in Madison Lake after a lifetime of sitting through the dreaded "up north" traffic to get to our family cabin. We loved that Madison Lake is just an hour south of the twin cities with close proximity to all of the "cabin" vibes with the many surrounding lakes, a winery, small towns, waterfront restaurants, etc. but every amenity you could need or want in nearby Mankato.

What makes this property unique

This property was designed specifically with large groups and retreats in mind. With plenty of space to gather together, but also small thoughtful spaces to seek solitude and enjoy peace and serenity.
