ABSOLUTELY SUPERB STAY! Accommodations were top notch. Our large family all had the BEST time. Our Grandson said "I like this place better than home"

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Weāre truly thrilled to hear your family had such a great stay. Hearing that your grandson liked it better than home absolutely made our day š We would love to host you all again anytime!
The house was perfect for our Womenās Wellness vacation. Jessica our host was always in contact and very responsive. I canāt say enough about this place-and everything was as posted on the site!! We will definitely be back!!
Excellent place for a long weekend and anniversary party
Place is fun to explore and the rooms are very nice. Perfect for our group of 18 staying, and just under 30 for the party.
A bit of a learning curve figuring out the lights, but overall a great property.
Best stocked kitchen of any VRBOs we have booked in the past, great central kitchen/dinning/seating location for large gatherings! We also liked the kayaks, yard games and lake views from the backyard. The numerous bedrooms with attached bathrooms was perfect for our group of teens to older grandparents. We also enjoyed nearby Menomonie with its downtown charm and nice grocery and other amenities.
This was the most beautiful VRBO weāve ever experienced. The property is absolutely gorgeous and Jessica was really easy to work with. I highly recommend this property to everyone.

What a beautiful place with an even better location! There was an issue before we got to the VRBO, and the host messaged us, explained the problem, and offset the cost due to the minor inconvenience!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We truly appreciate your understanding with the small issue and are so glad you enjoyed your stay. You were wonderful guests, and weād be delighted to host you again in the future. Thanks again for being so gracious and easy to communicate with!
We had a great time for the second year in a row hosting a board gaming event at the mansion. Jessica was amazing to work with and we loved our stay. thanks!
This was a great place for two families to share a long weekend with all of our adult kids. Everyone had their own space and at the same time there were so many nice common areas to gather. We ended up with great weather, but if it hadnāt been nice outside we wouldāve spent more time in the game room. Everyone enjoyed the space and great memories were made.

Thank you so much for your kind words! Weāre so happy to hear that your group enjoyed the space and made great memories together. Itās wonderful that the weather cooperated for your stay.You were a pleasure to host, and weād love to welcome you back anytime!
The house is set up nicely for large groups with large areas to hang out without impacting personal space of all guests. Some amenities and fixtures could be updated, but everything is still set up nicely.
This is our second stay at the Mansion and we are already planning a return next year. Plenty of space to spread out inside and out. The spacious individually themed bedrooms each with their own bathrooms is a big plus for us. Huge kitchen with 2 large dining tables, fantastic game room add to the reasons why we are planning a 3peat. All I can add isā¦.Enjoy, you will!

Thank you for your wonderful feedback! Weāre delighted that you chose to stay with us again and are already planning your return next year. Itās great to hear that the bedrooms, large kitchen, and game room added to the enjoyment of your stay. We love hearing that the space worked so well for your group! We canāt wait to welcome you back for your 3rd stay.
The house was extremely clean and is even bigger than the description makes it seem. Plenty of clean towels (which is oddly uncommon at rental houses) along with clear instructions throughout the property. Great place for ice fishing, snow machines, and other winter activities. Iām sure summer is just as good!
Most of us stayed at the Mansion last year, but we added a couple newcomers, eleven in all this year. We are a group of college (classes '72-'74) buddies and spouses, and we are already checking probable schedules for a return in '25. The place is perfect for a large, mixed group. We look forward to returning.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for being such wonderful guests to host! It was truly a pleasure to have you and your group back this year. Weāre thrilled to hear that you found the mansion to be the perfect fit for your gathering of college friends and their spouses. We are delighted that youāre already considering a return in 2025 and would love to welcome you all back!
Our stay was wonderful. We appreciated having a room that fit all of us and still gave us space as we needed it. It was a easy process made by the property manager Jessica. Our only suggestion is to clean under couch cushions, behind the headboards and to update the decor and some of the broken furniture. Yes weād stay there again.
