Relaxing place

Great view of the lake, cozy, beds are super comfy kitchen is well stocked and has what you would need to enjoy a good meal… would have been nice to have access to TV we were there to recover from medical issues and not having that was rough but they did have videos so that helped… moving the smart TV would be a nice added bonus… overall a nice relaxing place

We had a great experience at the Cottage! Very peaceful and had a great homey feeling! Fence around the yard was awesome for our kids too. We spent days relaxing and swimming off the dock. We also fished and kayaked alittle bit too. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Lake Zumbro Getaway

Clean cute cabin. Location to Rochester was an easy 20 minute drive. Cities along the Mississippi River were a 30 to 45 minute drive for shopping/site seeing/dining. Owners replaced the coffee maker promptly the next day when I commented that it was not working correctly.
