This was our second stay at this property and it was very clean and in a perfect location. Everything about the property was fantastic and communication with the host was great. Would definitely stay here again in the future.
The property was very clean and Jenna, our host, was easy to communicate with and responded to all of our communication quickly. We had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay. We will definitely book the property again if we are ever back in Mankato.

This VRBO was such a great house to stay in. Jenna was so helpful with questions and our needs. Everything was furnished. Great stay. I highly recommend this home.
We have stayed at Jenna's homes before & it is always a great experience. Perfect for our needs - clean & cozy. Communication is wonderful. We will be back.
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.
This property was beautiful and extremely clean. The bed rooms were large and beds were comfortable, immaculate kitchen, both full baths were a nice size and looked like it was right out of a magazine. We will definitely stay here again!
