Quiet, relaxing home on Lake Watab in beautiful St. Joseph, MN near SJU and CSB

Quiet location and lake home for a couple or family of six or less to discover the beauty of a crystal clear lake less than an hour and a half from the Twin Cities. Full kitchen, living room, home theatre system with cable and internet access, three bedrooms with two queen beds, extra long bunk beds and the blackout curtains are just perfect for a good night’s sleep. New appliances and remodeled bathroom will impress. Hundred feet of shoreline with dock and firepit. A boat launch access is available for a fee of $25 from the Rod and Gun Club. Minutes away from St. John's University, the College of St. Benedict, and St. Cloud State University. Enjoy the Lake Wobegon Trail, a 63-mile great hike and bike pathway, or wonderful fishing with bass, walleye, northern, and sunfish. Great golf courses are available nearby in St. Cloud, Sartell, Cold Spring, Richmond and Albany.

This lake is not heavily populated - so the atmosphere is very peaceful. There is no public boat access. There are few jet skis on the lake; kayaks and pontoons dominate. Bring your kayak or paddle boards, if you would like. There is also very good fishing, with walleye, northerns , and sunnys. Also in the winter months, great cross-country skiing and snowmobiling.

Pretty of great restaurants and bars in St. Joseph which is a five-minute drive away, including Obbnicks, a wonderful new whiskey distillery.

No pets, no smoking.

Off-street parking is available for two large vehicles.

Owners have a private residence in the lower level of this property with a private, separate entrance so as not to disturb your visit and respect your privacy. They are rarely there.

If you have a family of five or less, this is a phenomenal spot for a an extended stay to hang out. Recharge and explore the surrounding area even better with lake access in the summer. host was great and respons. The only negative really is that it is not quite as open as the pictures make it seem. And parking, if you do not have a singular family,but instead multiple groups meeting up, is a problem. Clean family friendly and location is great and centraly located

Check in - we arrived and were unable to open the door as the code that had been sent through the VRBO app was wrong, the owner was reachable thankfully and provided a new code that worked, thank goodness.Environment - When we were able to get inside of the house, it was so hot it was unbearable. We switched on all of the AC units in the bedrooms and left the house - this was one of those days where the smoke outside was thick so unfortunately we were not able to open the windows to cool off the house given the air quality. The AC units seemed to work as the temperature was more tolerable when we returnedCleanliness - the kitchen had not been thoroughly cleaned - we found a bag of old takeout in the fridge that hadn't been cleaned out (it was not ours). The bed had a spider crawling on it, which was suboptimal.There were so many glitches with the check in, it felt like the owner forgot we were going to stay there. Overall, sadly this was a big disappointment, we ended up leaving early and not returning.

We have been doing this for a long time. As you can see a very large portion of our reviews are great. However there are always those unfortunately who don't read the website or texts before they arrive. That makes things very difficult. As always we email/text the front code the night before. The guest did not read that and blamed the host for the issue. This guest also arrived with a disabled person in a walker that couldn't maneuver the few steps we have. We clearly state our home is NOT handicap accessible. This was the point they decided to leave. They were literally here 20 minutes. This had nothing to do with anything else they stated, which was not accurate. It was very clear that they were not VRBO-type guests. Please be warned!

After staying and reading prior reviews and the way the host belittles anyone who speaks out I reluctantly am going to post knowing I will get the same result from their response. Our trip at this Vrbo was anything but easy! We walked in the front door to a 1990s looking home that smelled like it had been shut all summer, very musty and we had to run a fan. Went to the kitchen and found a serious ant problem so never mind going to the store and bringing anything back. But the worst was getting up the 1st morning and there was almost ZERO hot water. Upon contacting the host he said he would come look at it while we were out, and a plumber..joke! He texted us and said it was working fine. When we got home I put the plug in the tub and was only able to fill it 3 inches of lukewarm water before it turned ice cold. Due to how he/she responded to prior reviews I was not comfortable contacting him again so we not only paid for a horrible home but also a very nice lady at the local hotel let us come shower each morning, had to pay for it but at least it was a warm shower. Then nowhere in the listing does it state the owner lives/stays on the premises. Both were there the whole time in the basement, very uncomfortable!! Then the master bed, you may as well sleep outside on the concrete. They claim it’s an “air bed” but when at 1 or 100 it’s miserably hard! Very disappointing. Only nice part was the lake, if hot enough out you could bathe out there. Don’t spend your money here!

Well, nothing like gas-lighting the host for trying to do good things for the guests. VRBO warned us NOT to accept these guests for their stay. In our kindness, we did accept this last-minute reservation. We had guests several days before these guests and everything was just fine for them. These guests suggested there was no hot water, so we called a plumber, as well as traveled two hours to see if we could help sooner as several plumbers we called were a day out. When we arrived, the hot water was working fine. The new Sleep Number bed also works just fine. Also, it clearly states on the website that the hosts may be there in the lower level that has a private entrance on occasion. We were only there because of the “so-called” lack of hot water. We had no intention of being there that weekend. These guests just wanted something to complain about and just wanted a refund. We should have listened to VRBO and not booked these guests. Be warned!

Thank you for the review. In response to several of you comments, we have found that most of our guests say they wanted a Keurig coffee maker and we provided a few days of coffee for our guests. The two queen beds are both adjustable Sleep Number beds so they can be made harder or softer. The remotes were right on the night stand. We have not put cushions on the new deck furniture as they get wet. Thanks again for staying with us.

Good Place in a Quiet Setting

We enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen. The dining table is not very practical at bar height, it's extremely small, and there are only four chairs in the whole house though the house rents for six people. The mattresses are comfortable. Thanks! The AC is not adequate to the house. Certain rooms are comfy while others get little air. Ceiling fans would help a lot too. The bathtub is terribly slippery and grab bars are needed. There are not enough towels supplied for a week's stay when one is not provided a washer/dryer. Nice place overall; fit our needs quite well. Way too many silly rules in a book that people don't read. Shorten the notes to the important things - bullet them - and move on. Quiet neighborhood; good for walking.

The lake was nice

Conflict with the host set the tone for an uncomfortable stay. The smoke detector battery was chirping at 1:30 am the first night. We replaced the batteries at our own expense to fix the issue since this type of thing can happen. The gas grill is not for guest use and we mistakenly uncovered it to take a look. We did not use the grill, but the host became very upset with us. Our apologies fell on deaf ears. Guests may use the charcoal grill, but only lighter fluid is provided. You need to get your own charcoal. We did not grill during our stay. Owners were present in their basement unit for much of our stay seemingly unaware of the boundaries they established. The deck is for guest use yet each time we left the property, the deck furniture was re-arranged. The owners do not seem to want to host as minimum effort is put into maintaining the property or making the stay comfortable for guests. The lake was very nice, but we will not be returning.

The guests obviously did not read the lake home guidelines that are on the website and in the newly remodeled lake home upon entry. It clearly states that the lower patio and gas grill are for the owners only, who are rarely on-site. They did use the gas grill and clearly deceived us about that. No apologies were offered by the guests. There is charcoal grill for guests use with lighter fluid and charcoal, which was in the closet. The guests again clearly did not review the guidebook. We were on-site for two days and one night. We again rarely were present around the guests. We never are in the guests’ space as claimed by the guests. They had three more people stay on the property than they stated and allowed. We change the batteries in the smoke alarms every quarter, so I am suspect they died on our guests, given what we saw. We did offer to pay for the batteries, and they declined. Very deceitful guests. We would change our rating on them, if we could.

St. Joe rental home

The property is the top part of a family home. There is a private entrance, full kitchen, great room, bedrooms and bath. The owners were in the private lower part of the home for part of our stay and we were notified of when they would be there. This was not a problem for us since we left by mid morning and didn’t return until later in the evening. The neighborhood is very quiet and this property is quite lovely with a large yard, fire pit and dock. There are no laundry appliances available, since we were there for a week, we did not have fresh towels for the whole of our stay. There is a large tv in the great room but no instructions on how to connect to their service. I received a quick response when I sent a request for assistance. Unfortunately, it wasn’t specific enough and we never were able to get it to work. Didn’t really matter to us, but I suggested a written, detailed instruction sheet be left with the remotes. If you haven’t experienced well water in the past, the slight odor of the water maybe offensive. Overall, we were satisfied and would consider staying there again.

Thank you for the review. Cici and I take great care in making sure everything is up to excellent standards for our guests. We made sure that you were aware that we may be present in the lower level when you arrived. We were not there at all that week. Additionally, it is quite clear that laundry facilities are not provided on the Homeaway website. While premier towels are provided for our guests (two of you), we never set the expectations that they would be cleaned for the week. It is interesting however that you bring this up because you used all six sets of towels in all three bedrooms over the week. Lastly, we have never had an issue with the 65 in. flat screen TV and home theatre system from previous guests. Maybe they were just tech savvy. We will address this with more clear, written instructions. Also, we never had someone suggest that was a slight odor from the well water. It is crystal clear and very drinkable. Again, thank you for your comments and review. We hope you do visit us again soon.

Have you ever seen the VBRO commercials with Nick Saban and the list of rules. That is this place. They had 5 pages of rules!!!! EXTRA PERSON CHARGE - Even with all of there house rules, they do not follow the law!!! MN has a price transparency law where even in a VBRO additional fees must be listed in the advertising (which the owner writes). As you will see the listing sleeps 6, the first line in the description of the property states for a couple or family up to 6. NO WHERE does it list any fees. I was charged 400 for extra guests!!!! When asked I was told they charge 50 night per person over 4 people!!!!! * They list air conditioning; however, they do not have central air. They have room units. One of the guest rooms with the queen bed has no unit. It’s also listed in one of their rules although they have these they prefer that don’t use them because they cost money so just open a window.*The couches were very used up. One of the couches had boards under the cushions. Between people sinking into the cushions and the couches being so low they were very difficult to get out of even for middle aged people.*The house is on a lake, that is true; however, there is a very steep hill to get down there and when you do get down there is so much goose poop. As you will see in reviewing other reviews these are not new concerns it’s just how this property is - lots of rules, hidden fees, and an inaccurate listing. Not worth the trip.

I will try to make my response polite, but it will be difficult. This guest clearly does NOT follow the little guidelines we have; that all VRBOs have. They clearly are NOT experienced VRBO guests. There are no hidden fees. All are on the VRBO website. The guests do not read well. They booked for 6 people and showed up with seven or more. We were not on-site, but we know this based on how messy things were when it was cleaned. They did NOT follow clean up guidelines at ALL. It was awful! The booking clearly states that having over four people is an extra charge. When they booked it, they saw the fees and paid for them. They complained after the fact. There is air conditioning through the entire house, as well as two large fans, so their statement is TOTALLY FALSE! The couches are new leather sofas, another totally false claim! The house is on a beautiful lake. Not one guest has EVER said the hill to the lake is steep. Is there goose poop by lake? Yes! Some! It’s a lake resort, and it also has a beautiful 100 shoreline with a sandy beach! These guests obviously do NOT know what a lake vacation is. My strong recommendation is to NOT book these guests ever!

Por qué eligió esta propiedad
