The house was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. And the beds were super comfortable. Our only recommendation would be to get a regular coffee maker rather than the single serving Kuerig.

Great Mankato VRBO

We stayed at this house while visiting Mankato for the weekend to see our daughter who goes to school there. There were 4 of us staying at the house, and there was plenty of space for all of us. The location was fantastic and the house was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The house exceeded our expectations and communication with the host was fantastic. We will definitely stay here again during future visits if it is available.

My First VRBO

I needed a place to look at real estate in the state. I had looked in Mankato, St.Cloud, and a very large lake an hour north of there. 5 days ,4 nights. I was surprised to rent an entire house for $50.00 less ....per NIGHT, over the Arch and Cable. I also travel for disc Golf

Nice new home.

Worked well for our family of four. The house and everything in it was new when we stayed there in November 2021. The house was set up perfectly for our stay. Quiet neighborhood. Good communication with the owner.

We booked this home as a place to stay while attending a trade show in Mankato. It was perfect! Location was great- 7 mins from the event center. It was modern,clean and fit our needs perfectly. The bedrooms are large enough that my daughter was able to set up her pack n play/sleep pod set up easily in the room and there was still plenty of room to comfortably walk around still in the bedroom. Plenty of outlets which can be important. TV was a smart tv so we were able to log in and stream our favorite shows. 2 full bathrooms was a plus! It made it easier for 2 women to get ready in the morning in a timely manner. No need to coordinate timing. So nice! Communication with Jenna was great. Instructions to access unit were communicated in a timely manner. We had no issues and are already planning to book this house next year again. Side Note: if you are gluten free person- Tandem Bagels in Mankato had great gluten free bagels and delicious coffee. We ate there both mornings. So yummy!
