Lakefront home on Middle Jefferson! Only one hour away from the Twin Cities!

Only 1 hour from the Twin Cities and 20 minutes from Mankato, our year-round home is the perfect lakefront getaway! Enjoy our kayak and 2 paddle boards or put your own boat in to explore all that Lake Jefferson has to offer! In the summer, enjoy the lake views from the patio furniture on our newly renovated deck. There's a table to enjoy a meal, sun loungers to soak in the rays, or a comfortable sectional to relax in the shade. There is a fire pit by the Lake to enjoy on calm nights. For Boaters - We're located on Middle Jefferson. The public launch is located on East Jefferson (5 miles from our home), and there is a channel between East Jefferson and Middle Jefferson that can be accessed via boat. We can provide more in-depth directions and a map if requested. Although West Jefferson Lake is not accessible via boat from Middle Jefferson, the public launch is located less than 1 mile from our home. The Jefferson chain of lake is very popular for recreational activities such as ice fishing (winter), swimming, fishing, tubing, water skiing, jet skiing, etc.
