Amazing Experience
This property was beautiful and extremely clean. The bed rooms were large and beds were comfortable, immaculate kitchen, both full baths were a nice size and looked like it was right out of a magazine. We will definitely stay here again!

My First VRBO
I needed a place to look at real estate in the state. I had looked in Mankato, St.Cloud, and a very large lake an hour north of there. 5 days ,4 nights. I was surprised to rent an entire house for $50.00 less ....per NIGHT, over the Arch and Cable.
I also travel for disc Golf

Great Mankato VRBO
We stayed at this house while visiting Mankato for the weekend to see our daughter who goes to school there. There were 4 of us staying at the house, and there was plenty of space for all of us. The location was fantastic and the house was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The house exceeded our expectations and communication with the host was fantastic. We will definitely stay here again during future visits if it is available.
This was such a cute VRBO! Loved the modern look, very clean, and such great communication! Would definitely book again!

Nice new home.
Worked well for our family of four. The house and everything in it was new when we stayed there in November 2021. The house was set up perfectly for our stay. Quiet neighborhood. Good communication with the owner.
