What a beautiful place with an even better location! There was an issue before we got to the VRBO, and the host messaged us, explained the problem, and offset the cost due to the minor inconvenience!

Best stocked kitchen of any VRBOs we have booked in the past, great central kitchen/dinning/seating location for large gatherings! We also liked the kayaks, yard games and lake views from the backyard. The numerous bedrooms with attached bathrooms was perfect for our group of teens to older grandparents. We also enjoyed nearby Menomonie with its downtown charm and nice grocery and other amenities.

Excellent place for a long weekend and anniversary party

Place is fun to explore and the rooms are very nice. Perfect for our group of 18 staying, and just under 30 for the party. A bit of a learning curve figuring out the lights, but overall a great property.

Perfect get away

This was a great place for two families to share a long weekend with all of our adult kids. Everyone had their own space and at the same time there were so many nice common areas to gather. We ended up with great weather, but if it hadn’t been nice outside we would’ve spent more time in the game room. Everyone enjoyed the space and great memories were made.

The house is set up nicely for large groups with large areas to hang out without impacting personal space of all guests. Some amenities and fixtures could be updated, but everything is still set up nicely.

Perfect for our Family reunion

This is our second stay at the Mansion and we are already planning a return next year. Plenty of space to spread out inside and out. The spacious individually themed bedrooms each with their own bathrooms is a big plus for us. Huge kitchen with 2 large dining tables, fantastic game room add to the reasons why we are planning a 3peat. All I can add is….Enjoy, you will!

Cradle at Tainter Lake 24

Most of us stayed at the Mansion last year, but we added a couple newcomers, eleven in all this year. We are a group of college (classes '72-'74) buddies and spouses, and we are already checking probable schedules for a return in '25. The place is perfect for a large, mixed group. We look forward to returning.

Perfect house for up north winter trip.

The house was extremely clean and is even bigger than the description makes it seem. Plenty of clean towels (which is oddly uncommon at rental houses) along with clear instructions throughout the property. Great place for ice fishing, snow machines, and other winter activities. I’m sure summer is just as good!

This property is ideal for a multifamily event. The main part of the house is a level entry and many bathrooms have a walk in shower. The outdoor patio is also a level entry. The lower level game area with a multi-bunk room is a fantastic space for those wishing to stay up late to visit and enjoy games/television. There can be quite a bit of late-night visiting without noise travelling to the bedrooms upstairs. There are also screened in private deck areas off of the bedrooms, providing private quiet spaces for those wishing to escape. The proximity to Menomonie makes shopping easy and the large walk in pantry with an extra fridge provides plenty of space for everyone's snack and beverage requests. We very much enjoyed our family celebration!

Amazing!

We had 19 of us, all family. Loved the patio, the lake views, the house. Especially loved the number of semi-private areas for small conversations. The kitchen had lots of room (seated all of us) and more than ample kitchen supplies and appliances. 1 1/2 hours from MSP airport. I have already highly recommended this house and service to two friends who want to do the same thing.

Our stay was wonderful. We appreciated having a room that fit all of us and still gave us space as we needed it. It was a easy process made by the property manager Jessica. Our only suggestion is to clean under couch cushions, behind the headboards and to update the decor and some of the broken furniture. Yes we’d stay there again.

Annual Family HallowThanksMas

Each year we have 4 generations that spend an extended weekend together. This property was well maintained and plenty of room!!!! We were all able to have our own rooms and the game room was great!! Ping pong and pool add plenty of space for our Grandkids to run around! A few even ventured out on the kayaks! Would highly recommend!
