We chose this A frame cottage because of its uniqueness and we love Lake Manitou, as well as all that Rochester has to offer. We traveled with family raging from age 3 to 91. The home is not ideal for someone older or handicapped but the main level offered all that was needed, He was able to maneuver the stairs and get to the sturdy dock to the boat. The downstairs living area was great for the night owls. The fenced in yard makes it so comfortable to enjoy the outdoors with dogs and young children. We spent 90% of our time outdoors, enjoying the view, the yard and the deck while we grilled out and played. It was so fun to pontoon over to the Dam Landing for dinner. You can also dock at the Moose or Elks if your members. The home was not modern, but very cute and comfortable. I did not have one complaint regarding the cleanliness of the home. We had some very humid days and the air conditioner kept up very well but the upstairs runs A little warmer. They had fans available to move the air. The kitchen was well stocked. We did bring our own knives. There was a coffee maker, toaster, blender and Keurig. They had a gas grill, plenty of games and toys, lots of floats, and things for outside available. The beds were comfortable, but firmer than I am used to. I would recommend Bandidos for great Mexican food and Ruthless bar for fresh made amazing food. We stayed three nights and all wished we had booked a whole week. We can’t wait to return again in the future.
