About this property
ARTISTS & ANGLERS INN - game room - home of Madison Lake Paddlefish!!
*****Game room is finished****** great for family and friends to have fun! rolling bar, kitchenette, pool table, ping pong table, foosball, smart TV, couch, large refrigerator, microwave, additional seating areas! Lots of dishes bowls and glassware!
HOME OF THE GRAND MADISON LAKE PADDLE FISH State of Minnesota issued a seizure permit #202888 for us to be able to keep the skull and a replica of the fish. This skeleton of a paddle fish washed up on Madison Lake beach in 1989. From this skeleton the folks at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and the Missouri Game and Fish department provided their best estimate of weight over 100 lbs, length 68 inches, and age approximately 35 years old. Paddle fish are plankton eaters with no teeth and are harmless to humans and illegal to catch in Minnesota.
Lots of off street parking for all your water toys! 150 lineal feet of sandy beach with over hanging willow trees to hold the pan fish close for shore fishing. We are in the process of building a sand box for when the water levels are high and our beach is under water. Our fish cleaning shed with screens, light, and water as well as a space to keep your gear locked up over night (bring your own padlock) is now finished! We have two boating docks available! The boat ramp is a short drive around the bay to the south. For our fellow artists we have set up a bright classroom area facing Madison Lake. It has 12 desks with easels and brush holders, drawing boards, and a grand instructors oak easel, storage cabinet, extra folding chairs and stools all looking toward the lake. Ideal for sleepovers or just an evening of wine and cheese paint parties! Great as an extra option for more sleeping space when renting our Log Inn #HA9246925 two parcels away which sleeps 24 and has plenty of extra social spaces! Scrapbookers welcomed!

We enjoyed the kayaks and lake in the afternoon and the game room at night. Also had a great time at the two nearby Wineries. Lucky Lure pizza was also a hit. Unfortunately we didn’t leave enough time to do some painting.
We had a lovely time. Everything was exactly what we needed. The kayaks and paddle boat were such a nice treat! The kitchen is stocked with everything we needed. We would definitely book this listing again.
Excellent communication from Host. Kitchen stocked with everything we needed and the game room and kids toys a great addition. Fantastic location for our family get-together. Thanks so much!
We rented this property and the Log Inn for a family stay and had a wonderful time painting, enjoying the lake on a pontoon boat from a local rental place, and just taking in the beautiful lawn.
We had a wonderful family reunion here. The lake was amazing. Loved seeing the swans and geese swim. The house was comfortable with a well stocked kitchen! We would definitely stay again.
We had a delightful stay on the lake. Plenty of space, loved kayaking and playing in the game room. Enjoyed Jerry’s art- beautiful! Working with both Dorothy and Jerry was fantastic - both so welcoming and accommodating!
We only stayed for 2 nights but everybody enjoyed the stay, especially the kids. There was a lot to do and entertainment for kids. The have pool table, ping pong table, lots of puzzles, card games, and more, plus a huge tv. The kitchen had everything we needed. The view was wonderful. And most of all, Dorothy was great, very responsive and even came over to say Hi. We definitely will recommend this place. It's ***** for us!!!
The best part of this stay was Jerry and Dorthy. The communication, friendliness and welcoming atmosphere was the best!!! We would love to return in the future!
A great place for a long weekend getaway. The house was stocked with everything we needed and we appreciated the owner’s fishing advice. Our kids painted in the studio and loved the downstairs sleeping and TV area.
Great weekend away. House is extremely clean and perfect for multiple family rental. Kids enjoyed painting, paddle boating and swimming. Beautiful views of the lake from living room. Dorothy and Jerry treated us as family since the second we booked.

Susan and Family thank you for your gracious review and many thanks to your daughters who shared some of their beautiful paintings with us. You were the first family to use our Artist classroom and will be framing them to hang in the classroom. We appreciate you sharing your wonderful memories and pictures with us. The Artist ∠lers Inn will always be your home away from home! Looking forward to your next visit. You were GREAT guests 10 Star👍Thank you. Jerry and Dorothy
many different spaces. The amenities were fun. The place was a bit dated but really didnt matter. Good tvs too. Beds comfy, place is clean and well stocked. Toys for the kids!Great communications with owner. Only thing was there wasn't any available paper for drawing but we made do! Great fishing for our fisher people. THank you!
Beautiful and secluded. Lots of space for activities. The beds exceeded expectations, towels for showers were plentiful. Private parking lot accommodated our six vehicles without issue. The kitchen was fully furnished. We did not need the additional kitchen tools that we brought ourselves.
Our group was in Mankato for the Marathon. Some of us were running and the rest were support staff. House was great for cooking and resting and being together.
Definitely recommend.
The 7 of us enjoyed some great family tome. Something for all of us from 13 - 68 years old. We all enjoyed the large game room. The kayaks were a hit with the younger ones. Very well stocked with everything we needed. The hosts were great.
We picked this house for its proximity to my daughter’s college as, she was graduating. We wanted a place for everyone to stay that had not just location but, activities and amenities. The added bonuses are Dorothy and Jerry! With them you want and need for nothing. Don’t hesitate to book this property you will not regret it, my family enjoyed our time here!!!
