Perfect
This was the perfect spot for our girls weekend! We went into town some to enjoy all that Mankato has to offer and left plenty of time to roam the area around the cabin. It is so beautiful and peaceful! We will definitely be going back!

Why they chose this property

Our property was plated to be a town in the mid 1800's - it was plated to be the town of Lowell. Thus, The Cabin at Lowell.
This property is located on a dead-end road and is very private, quiet yet close to the main highway if you would like to explore the region.
Beautiful scenery every season of the year.
