About this property

Stay in View of Madison: Beautiful, spacious home on Madison Lake

Come enjoy lake living at its finest in our newly remodeled Lake Home with breathtaking views of Madison Lake from most rooms of the house!

A nice gradual walk (no steps) to the private lake shore where there is green grass area to relax, as well as a nice sandy beach with both full sun and shade trees (which can also hold the 3 hammocks we have for you to use) with a stone wood burning fire pit and chairs as well as a private dock with swim up ladder and bench to enjoy the lake where we also have a free standing lake slide in the water, 6 kayaks, a 5 person pedal boat, floaties and tubes for you to enjoy your time at the lake!

We have a huge yard to enjoy along with a wide assortment of outdoor games (XXL connect 4, Bocce ball, Corn Hole, Lawn Darts, Volleyball, Badminton, and much more!) a beautiful pond in the back also filled with beautiful wildlife! There is a road to cross over to the lakeshore area as you can see in our photos, but rest assured, it is an all way stop T in the road. Madison Lake is a lake that is defiantly perfect for all fishing for Walleye, Bass, Sunfish, Northern, Crappies and recreation of all types (great bays for water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing and all other water sports) on the lake in the summer and ice fishing in the winter, or simply enjoy the views from the wrap around deck, gather around a campfire (there is a second fire pit in the back yard of the house as well!) and make a few s'mores, play bean bags or other yard games in the huge yard, take out the kayaks, swim in the lake and fish off the dock!

The View is large enough to bring your extended family and more.
Our home sleeps 12 (a playpen and highchair are also available for little ones) and can even add a few more if needed, just need to ask first! Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy your time together with ample space for alone time as well. If weather isn't perfect, enjoy the awesome open game room downstairs with board games, Wii, huge screen tv complete with surround system, dart board and awesome air hockey! Located less than a block to North shore park, plus 3 other fun parks, just blocks from the Sakatah Singing Hills State Trail which offers 39 miles of paved trail if you prefer to bike, hike or snowmobile in the winter!
Our home is furnished with linens and towels, complete well stocked kitchen with new appliances, Culligan reverse osmosis system on fridge (ice) and sink faucet, great coffee maker, Fiber-optic high-speed internet (75 Mbps download and 75 Mbps upload!), office with workspace & office chair, huge laundry room and so much more!!

Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend
The hosts were wonderful and went out of there way to ensure we had a great weekend. The property is perfect for young/middle-aged kids (and likely older as well). They had everything a person could need on hand. The large (and very clean) garage was extremely handy for having a drop spot for everything; especially if you have kids or fishing gear that needs stored each night.

Couldn't find a better place to stay
It had everything you could possibly need. Just like being home. The kids had so much fun with the toys and games it was hard to get them out to the lake. I couldn't recommend it more highly.

Family vacation
We had a great weather week, this home has ample space, is fully stocked with all your kitchen needs, the only suggestion I would have is to leave a cabinet open for storage of food. Beds were comfortable and each had plenty of closet space. Beautiful home.

Family vacation at the View on Madison
This home could not have been more perfect for our family vacation! Jennifer was so helpful and kind. Our son even took his first steps in the sunroom! There were so many extra toys and things for our little ones to play with and the outdoor area and proximity to the fantastic beach was even better than the pictures. We will be back!

Thanksgiving with a View
Excellent property with plenty of room for families of all ages and pastimes. We gathered family for Thanksgiving week and had a wonderful time cooking, exploring the shoreline, walking around town, and visiting nearby Mankato. The bedroom setup was perfect for our family and the kitchen spacious enough for all hands to be involved in preparing our Thanksgiving feast. We all imagine what a bustling community this must be in the late spring and summer months, and this home is perfectly situated to soak it all up.

This property is incredible. Updated, clean, lots of space. Big yard and easy access to the beach and fishing. A wonderful playset, fire pits and lots of games and toys for the kids you can use so you don’t have to bring your own. Truly a home away from home. Exactly as described and pictured. Great communication with the owners. Would highly recommend.

Wonderful lake home with lots of toys!
Our family group of 7 which included my 2+ year old grand daughter all had a lovey time at this lake home. The home is spacious, very clean and nicely decorated. It has everything you need to make yourself at home. One of the many nice things that made it stand out though, are the outdoor amenities it offers. It has a big beautiful yard with a playground and lots of toys and games for the kiddos. For the grownups, we enjoyed the kayaks, fire pits, and two large family room areas, each with a big screen tv. Too many other amenities to name, but another highlight that needs to be mentioned is the beautiful view of the lake. This is definitely a VRBO we will return to in the future. Thanks Jennifer!
