Overall our stay was great! It was our own fault for not reading the description better, but the house does not have 8 bedrooms as advertised, but he did explain that in the description. Just be sure to read it if you're actually needing 8 bedrooms. Overall nice and welcoming.

Greg was an excellent host, responsive and great attention to detail. Our large group, including 4 families with multiple kids ages 2-15, had plenty of space to sleep and play inside. The game room was a nice addition and we used some kayaks and the paddle board. We were able to access local amenities easily (5 min walk to the swim beach, 5 min drive to the state park and into town to some restaurants and parks). The biggest downfall to us was that we hadn't realized that the house is not directly on the lake; we had to walk across a road to get to that area and the dock. We didn't use the fire pit at all because we had kids in the house and it was too far away. We also didn't fish much for this reason.

The house was fully supplied, more kitchen tools then we have seen in other nightly rentals. Although we were there for a quick family trip in the winter...we enjoyed what we could. So no reviews on the outdoor activiites. It was appropriate and roomy and had extra blankets and pillows too. Host did a great job communicating with us.

We had 15 people stay. Room for everyone to sleep, that was great! There was little room for kitchen/non refrigerated food supplies we brought. Other then that the kitchen was completely stocked with all needed pots and pans etc. We had rainy days so stayed inside or used the game room. We all had a good time! Thanks Greg

We had a fabulous family stay at this VRBO. Greg was a great host, there was plenty of room and it was a great location. The weather couldn't have been better! We booked this because of the number of rooms, location and the game room with pool table. We didn't know that Elvis would be there, but that was just a bonus, as Mom is a bit Elvis fan! We did a wonderful tour with Ella of the Faribault Woolen Mill and had a picnic at the state park near Waterville. We even caught the ice cream truck that went thru the neighborhood. We spent quality family time talking and playing games. A vacation we won't forget!! Thank you Greg and the Wilmes family!

Great Bang for your Buck

We booked this property because it was reasonably priced for the size, and we were pleased to find it had everything we needed and more. The beds were not the most comfortable, and there were a few cobwebs and spiders (to be expected near the lake), but it definitely met our expectations! Would stay again.

We’ve rented to hundreds of people and no other renters have complained about the beds, but we have purchased new pillows, sheets, mattress pads, and comforters for all the beds. We will always do what we can to make certain our customers are comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Greg Wilmes

Host profile image

My name is Greg Wilmes, and I own and operate P, B, & J Rental (named for my 3 children [Peyton, Brooke, and Jon] located in Waterville, MN. I grew up here on Lake Tetonka resort property my parents purchased back in the 1960s. After graduating from Waterville-Elysian High and St. Olaf College, I taught and coached for 10 years at Minnewaska Area and STMA High Schools. I then moved back to Waterville to purchase some of my parents’ property and started a residential construction business. The first garage and home I built is the one you’ll be enjoying when you come stay with us in Waterville! I love sharing our beautiful and nostalgic little town with anyone looking for a good time and beautiful lakes, trails, and people. Welcome to Waterville and our twin lakes—Tetonka and Sakatah.

Why they chose this property

I chose to build my home in the nostalgic little town of Waterville because I was born and raised here and absolutely love all of the beautiful lakes, trails, resorts, and people that call this place HOME.

What makes this property unique

Our rental home offers 6 (actually 8 separate sleeping spaces) bedrooms that comfortably sleep 12-18 people, a 700 square foot game room above the detached garage, and lake views and access to beautiful Lake Tetonka (with private boat/pontoon
landing) and Lake Sakatah where you can enjoy fishing, swimming, kayaking, and boating. We also have a public beach right around the corner, and easy access to the Sakatah State Park and Sakatah State Trail. Kamp Del’s also offers day passes to the largest outdoor water park in southern Minnesota just 1 mile away from our home.
