This was our first time renting this beautiful little house and have already rented for next year. It’s real close to a bigger house we rent but the family has grown and we needed extra room. Worked out so well for parents with little ones. Great communication and so friendly, thanks for a great vacation.
We had a great stay here. Cozy home with everything you need. Weather wasn't in our favor to enjoy the outside much, but it's in a great location a block from the water and close to downtown area.
Our stay at the Lake House was perfect! My siblings, Mom, and I met from all across the country to celebrate the life of two family members, and our host made sure our every need was accommodated. The house was as cute as can be, extra comfortable, and in the most gorgeous location. I was sad when our time in Lake City came to an end!
Our group had an amazing stay at the Lake House! The house is adorable, and had everything we needed and more. There is PLENTY to do in Lake City, and a lot is within walking distance. Our host,
Patty, was super responsive, and answered all our questions quickly. No complaints whatsoever! If I could give more than 5-stars I would!
Patty had a beautiful property, older home with ton of charm and personality. Well decorated, everything labeled- was so very nice. I would stay here again and recommend to anyone traveling to Lake City, MN - well done!!!
The host has thought of everything that a person could need or want. This was a self care trip and the casita had all the pamper things I enjoy. Sauna, soaking tub, walks along the lake and a fire pit for the cool nights.
We loved this house for our family holiday. It was close to the water. Every detail of the entire stay was wonderful. I took so many pictures of the house because it was so lovely. I think anyone who stays here will be thrilled with the experience. The host even left us fresh flowers!
We were in town for a Wedding in Red Wing and this was a perfect location for our family to enjoy a bit of Lake Life while we were there. We had everything we needed!
This home exceeded our expectations! Our family of 6 including two small children stayed here and our friends would come over with their 4 children. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax or sit together and eat comfortably. The location was right near the action and water ski events (only a block away). We loved being able to listen to the concerts with the door open or sitting in the backyard; but if we closed the windows and turned on a fan then the music wasn’t loud or could barely be heard. Also enjoyed the sauna! The retractable gate for pets was appreciated. The owner was super fast to respond and made every effort to make sure our stay and experience was great! And it was! We would stay here again!
