Quick Get-Away
My wife and I planned a quick getaway for a night. The place was on a beautiful frozen lake with a nice back yard. Check in was easy and the owner very accommodating. Although a bit outdated, the place was cozy for us to enjoy. Local pizza and wings were fantastic.

Perfect for family and relaxation!
Lots of family drove from Texas to Indiana for Thanksgiving at Mom’s house! More of us than her tiny lovely home could handle. This home was exactly what we needed! Close to mom and plenty of room. Thank you for a wonderful location and home!

Lake weekend
Everything was great & we enjoyed our stays. Just an FYI- it’s a lot of steps, it’s an A-frame!, but there is a bathroom & bedroom on the main level that doesn’t have any additional steps to get to it (except for the ones to get inside), if people in your group have mobility issues.

Quaint cottage getaway.
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.

Rochester house
Very comfy and clean. Could use a couple more items in the kitchen. Cookie sheets, pasta fork, large sauce pans with lids. Need to do something to add bumpers on corners of spiral staircase. Plenty of warnings to be careful however, still several of us had run ins with the corners. We had a great time and the house was comfortable.

Good for our needs but could be better
We stayed at this property while in town for a ballgame. Adults range in age from 43 to 88. The first issue was the steps going up to the property. They are a little tricky. There are no yard lights or even “lake signs” in the house. No very “homey” feeling. No yard lights. Kinda boring. The view is amazing!!!!! The wall looking at the lake needs looking at as it’s beginning to warp ..maybe a leaking window. Paint is peeling outside. Just needs a little more TLC thanks for having us!!!

Perfect place.
The place was so cute. Not huge but more than enough room for us and 4 kids. The basement was perfect for the kids to watch tv and hang out playing games at night. We loved the deck and spent a lot of time there. We also brought our boat with us and loved how calm the lake is. Thank you for sharing your place with us !

Out of town wedding stay
My husband & I and our best couple friends were attending another friend's wedding in Rochester and rented this fun, little A frame for 2 nights. It is right on the water and was tons of fun. We listened to music on the back deck, got out the paddle board the next day, made lunch at the place & played cards inside that night (after the wedding because it rained). We went to the super cute & close local coffee shop both mornings for breakfast - it was great! We throughly enjoyed staying at this place while in Rochester; way better than a hotel!!!

Nice getaway for couple and those with 4 paws
This place was great and so many times we said that we would love to come back and it could be our quick getaway! Great setup for our dogs! Being a dog trainer I loved that we got the new challenge of using spiral stairs with the Pups. I've always wanted them to try them out. Plenty of restaurants nearby, we didn't do any cooking, but we could have if we wanted. Great view from the deck and I can only imagine how fun it would be in the summer to sit out their and people watch on the lakefront view!

Three weeks of peace
Great house on a quiet lake! We stayed for three weeks and enjoyed it tremendously. The house is just as depicted. Stairs are spiral, but easily navigable. We both worked while there, and wifi was super. We took our PWC with us - the lake was perfect for it. Also saw lots of pontoons on the lake.
