About this property
Prairie View Cottage! Just completed private and cozy country retreat.
Big skies, sunsets and 360 degrees of privacy and prairie views. Cozy, comfy and completely remodeled two-bedroom one bath home just 25 minutes from Mankato, 10 minutes to America's Glory Barn (aka JR's Barn) and 20 minutes to wedding/conference venues in Waseca.
All new inside and out with open floor plan from kitchen to dining to living spaces. Squeaky clean private bedrooms and bath, plus a Tempur-Pedic queen mattress in the sleeper sofa. Enjoy the big backyard with no neighbors in sight. Enjoy the sunsets from the great room or hang out in the attached garage for sheltered and casual connections to the vast outdoor spaces.
The Backyard Bar and Grill in Pemberton (6 miles) is a local favorite for food and fun and the Indian Island Winery hosts live weekend entertainment just 11 miles down quiet country roads. Or take a leisurely drive (or walk) around Mott Lake wildlife area (less than 1 mile) or take in the pastoral views from country lanes along Bull Run Creek just a mile north.
Less than half-hour drive to Mankato, Waseca, Mapleton, Janesville, New Richland, Wells, Waldorf, and St. Clair.

About the host
Hosted by Scott and Anne
Welcome! Anne and Scott have recently given the Prairie View Cottage a complete overhaul and we are ready to share it with folks who visit the area. This is our first venture in the short-term rental world, and we hope that you find everything you need and as listed.
Why they chose this property
Our VRBO is on the farm that has been in our family since 1886. It was my Grandparents' retirement home as they transitioned away from the busy day-to-day chores on the farmyard.
What makes this property unique
You can enjoy the privacy of wide-open spaces with views in every direction. This is a rural property with opportunities for entertainment in the yard or within a half hour in any direction. Mankato is a 25-minute drive. You can also explore the charming farm landscape that is right in the neighborhood. Wedding venues, wineries and watering holes are also nearby!
