Cabins overlooking the lake Sakatah, bordering the state trail

10/10 Excellent

"The cabin was very clean and smelled wonderful when we walked in. We enjoyed 2 nights of perfect weather sitting out by the fire looking at the lake with the geese and pelicans, and the fish jumping. The cabin was the perfect little retreat to just decompress!"

Peaceful Place by the Lake Near Cleveland MN

10/10 Excellent

"Sherry was wonderful to work with, very quick with responding to questions, and was very up front and organized. We were looking for a pet friendly house that would fit multiple people as well and this was it! The big yard was wonderful! And location was good too! We had a wedding in Le Suer that weekend! Thank you again to Sherry! It was a great stay!"

Lakefront Retreat w/ Dock + Games

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at the house. It was clean and had everything that was said to be supplied. The waterfront location and view were great. The host was very responsive and answered all of our questions quickly. The surrounding area was very nice. The home could use a few updates, but overall it was a nice place to stay."

Stay at The View on Madison: Beautiful, spacious home on Madison Lake!

Premier Host-Tetonka & Sakatah Lakes Dock, Kayaks, Lakeside Fire Pit & Gameroom

10/10 Excellent

"This property was perfect for our larger crew. Greg was amazing with the communication and was unbelievably responsive to anything that needed attention. Above and beyond. There were a couple items that needed attention in the game room, but he addressed them within minutes. The kayaks, paddle boat, and canoe and fire pit were an absolute blast for the kids. Larger coffee cups in the kitchen would be a nice addition. There were many post it notes with tips/instructions that were helpful but a little overwhelming. I kept getting nervous the notes would fall off and get lost. Overall, couldn’t have asked for a more responsive host! It was perfect for our family vacation!"
