Madison Lake is a quaint town just an hour south of the Twin Cities and near several wedding venues: *10 min from Chankaska Winery *20 min from Indian Island Winery *15 min from Ahavah Cottage *15 min from The Capitol Room Surrounded by many lakes, the area offers numerous 2 nearby waterfront restaurants, 2 universities, wineries, golfing and shopping in the quaint town of St Peter... all within 10 min. We are 15 minutes from Scoops Ice Cream shop, which is located on the Sakatah Singing Hills State Trial. Grab a cone or coffee before renting their bikes to explore 39 miles of paths. A quick 8 minute drive into Mankato will find you every store, mall, restaurant and movie theater you will need during your stay. Or stay put, enjoy the views and let Shipt or Door Dash do the running for you! Lake George is a quiet, fully recreational lake with public access. Lakeside Lookout is a brand new build so the outdoor spaces will be evolving as we work through permitting and installation process, therefore the current pricing reflects that lakeshore landscaping is not yet complete. This cabin is set on just over 2 acres, with plenty of mature trees and 250+ feet of lakeshore. There are 2 large decks off the great room, a fire pit area, 2 picnic tables, hillside stairs to the lakeshore area and a floating dock for fishing, tying up your boat, etc. There are youth kayaks and youth and adult stand up paddle boards available for your enjoyment. If you have questions or concerns about the status of the landscaping, please inquire prior to booking, and we will be happy to give you any updates we may have! *Please note we are constantly investing back into property and replacing/upgrading items as needed. Therefore, there may be some additions/changes to furnishings and décor pictured!

Other Details to Note

TRAVEL INSURANCE: Although never anticipated or hoped for, things can come up that may prevent you from completing you stay. Unfortunately, because your advance reservation blocks our calander and prevents other guests from booking, we are unable to make exceptions to our cancellation policy. That said, we highly recommend that guests consider purchasing travel insurance. We are happy to provide any needed documentation should an issue arise that prevents you from coming or completing your stay. Travel Insurance protects you should you need to cancel, interrupt, or delay your trip, due to a covered reason. CLEANLINESS: Before every guest arrival, detailed pictures and video will be taken to ensure cleanliness is up to the highest standard before your arrival. THE GREAT MN OUTDOORS: We love our wooded, lakefront setting but unfortunately cannot control Mother Nature or its inhabitants! Although we have excellent pest control in place, insects and bugs are a part of our thriving ecosystem and we cannot eradicate them all together! You can help keep them outside by keeping doors open as minimally as possible. During your stay, you may also encounter deer, turkey, bunnies, raccoons, etc. We also hope you have perfect weather and lake conditions during your stay, but acknowledge that we cannot be responsible for the weather or many factors that can impact lake conditions.

Our stay at Lakeside Lookout was absolutely perfect. It was exactly what we needed to accommodate a large group to celebrate my sister’s upcoming wedding. We honestly could have used another day here just to relax at the house- it is designed thoughtfully and we had everything we needed to play games, cook meals, and relax together. Even though we were there with a large group it never felt like we were on top of each other. There was plenty of space to shower and get ready. We loved utilizing the movie theatre room to play slideshow games- it made the experience so much fun. We all walked away anticipating another stay at some point in the future- the space really added some extra special magic to the trip.

This was the 2nd time we've hosted our retreat at this location. It is stunning, and every guest who attended felt like they were sitting in a storybook the entire week because of the beautiful location and aesthetic. Jen is always wonderful to work with, and responds to any questions we have during our stay. A few guests have asked about the brand of mattresses because they slept the best they ever have here! Already looking forward to hosting our next retreat at Lakeside Lookout.

We hosted Thanksgiving for our family at Jen’s and were delighted from the moment we checked in to the moment we checked out. The space was beautiful, all furnishings were decadent yet homey at the same time. All the games were incredible, many things for everyone. Kitchen was also unbelievably stocked 6 stars out of 5!

We stayed for a long weekend leading into our micro-wedding, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this location as well as Jen as a host! The perfect amount of space for our guests to split off and do their own thing when they wanted, but spacious enough to have everyone come together when we needed. Not to mention the beautiful backdrop of the lake! Jen made our planning process for our weekend easy, and gave wonderful instructions to make things run seamlessly. We hope that we can come back for another special occasion sometime to enjoy this spectacular place once more! Thank you for providing a lovely backdrop for our special weekend!

Loved this place! We hosted a summer family gathering here and it offered something for everyone. The place was well stocked with all the supplies we needed for big family meals and the location was so peaceful and relaxing!

Our large family of three generations enjoyed our stay at this beautiful house. From the theater room to the arcade games, ping pong and Foosball there was plenty of things inside to entertain our bunch. The beautiful setting of the lake from the kitchen made our lunches and dinners so special and the bunk room was amazing with all the queen size beds! Our days outside on the lake were filled with fishing, paddle boarding, and playing on the lily pad. So much fun for our group from ages 2 to 68. We made so many great memories together at this beautiful house!

Great place to host a bachelorette party! There were plenty of places to sleep for our large group, and lots of activities to keep us busy. Lake access was easy, and while there was some algae, that didn't stop us from swimming. The kitchen was amazing and stocked with everything we needed. Jen was responsive and easy to communicate with. I'd highly recommend this spot for a beautiful luxery cabin get away!

WOW!! Our family of 12 had a fantastic stay at this thoughtfully designed, spotless and incredibly comfortable lake house. From the stunning view to the amazing amenities to the smallest details, this house was built with such intention and care. We couldn't have asked for a better stay or a better host than Jen!

A group of colleagues and I enjoyed a wonderful stay to celebrate the end of the school year. This house is AMAZING! From the beautiful kitchen and space for everyone do be together on the main level to the cozy movie room where we all fit to watch a movie together, this house really has it all. The beds were all super comfortable and the view out the big wall of windows is perfection. We’ll be back!
