Great place to get away and relax in Fairbault Minnesota. The hosts were very quick to answer all questions and supplied everything we needed for our stay.We did enjoy a couple days on the lake boating and fishing from a pontoon we rented from a resort across the way. we also explored Fairbault for a couple nights along with a tour of the old mill. Overall a great few days at a nice central location to all our activities.I hope to make it back again soon!

Quiet and pleasant

Accurate description of the home. Comfortable beds. The lake is across the street with steep stairs to get down to the dock, so just be mindful if you have children or elderly.

Visiting son

The property met all of our needs for nice quiet visit to see my son who had moved here for work last year after graduating college. It was close and convenient to everything. The city was a short 40 minute drive for the zoo and Mall of America. The property was nice, private, and clean.

Enjoyed both the inside of this house and the outdoor spaces. View from the dock was amazing in the evening. We also came at a wonderful time with the fireflies out. Just a few minutes from any Necessities you need. The property was private and cozy. Just a heads up if you have Mobility issues the dockwould be kind of hard to access since there's a lot stairs.

Girls weekend

The house was exactly what my friend and I were hoping for. Clean, quiet, close to water and easy to enjoy. The location was great. Close to Faribault so we were able to go biking and close to the cities so we could go shopping when it unexpectedly rained. The front deck was great for reading and relaxing and the kitchen had what we needed to prepare drinks and snacks. Well done!!

What an awesome place! The view of Roberts Lake was fantastic. It was amazing watching the lake freeze over. Start of the week. You could see some water by the end of the week. People are ice fishing on it.!!My father and I came up for a long week to visit My Son at Shattuck St Marys. Even with the ice on the roads and snow, it was a 20 minute drive to campus. So much fun having three generations hang out for a week.I would love to stay at this place in the summer when we could get out on the water easier
Sitting on the couch watching TV, looking out of the windows onto the lake
Nice snow filled view of the campus Shattuck St Marys entrance
