Great place to stay if you have a week of appointments at Mayo
Reviewed By 12345billMy wife had a week of early morning appointments at Mayo and this rental was perfect. 10 minutes to the clinic. Much much more reasonable than any hotel would have been and we could cook our own food since my wife had to be on a restricted diet for her treatments at Mayo. Very quiet with nice view outside. Even had deer in the backyard. Proprietors were right next door so if there were any needs they were on it. There is a 5 night minimum stay but if you have a number of Mayo appointments it’s great. Stay an extra couple of nights and see some of the beautiful state parks in southeast MN. We might consider staying here to do just that come Spring Summer and Fall

Golf outing
Reviewed By brucedH2733LWOn a recent two night stay at the Villas for a golf outing with another couple, we rented a two bedroom/two bath unit at the Villas. The unit, 704, was very clean and looked like it may have an updated interior within the last year or two because walls did not have typical marks in bedrooms and bath. Also the pots we used looked to be relatively new. It is a very convenient location to the two golf courses on a nice setting, although the exteriors of the buildings we stayed in were old and tired looking and needed some work. We found the beds and pillows very soft and had some aches in the morning as a result. Overall, we had a good experience and maybe the soft beds and pillows are to the liking of the owners.

Very unkept and unclean
Reviewed By lainieb2022I want to start by stating that I am not a picky or anal person and never leave reviews but I thought I needed to for this place. There was a ton of gross mildew on the floor near the toilet, shower and all around the tub also with cracked tiles. There was gross calk placed everywhere and black. The dishes were all very dirty in the cupboard w/ food crusted over most. The sofa leg was duck taped, many cracked ceiling panels and hot water ran out after one use. I was very disappointed as the owners didn’t take any pride in maintaining the place at all. It has lots of potential but I would never stay there again.

Brown smelly water!
Reviewed By Y9543CDjennifereSo location is great, beach and docks are great, villas are probably great…, hell even some of the cabins may be great…..but cabin 12 we stayed in was terrible. Described as “rustic”, we didn’t expect too much besides clean sheets, a warm shower and a grill. Clean sheets there were on terrible mattresses, and pillows, warm water there was but made the entire cabin smell like sulfur the minute you turned it on, so we literally were gagging from the smell and actually tried not to use the water at all if we could avoid it. Filled up the dog bowl and water was visibly brown. Filled a container and took to check in lobby where they said, “ that’s so weird we’ve never received that complaint before”, I’ll have maintainence check everything get over there right away”…Wish we knew this before showering…but had a feeling after the smell… This cabin is cute, definitely rustic but the toilet stained brown and veneer clad bathroom walls impinging the light from window. Fake bead board paneling acting a wall in restroom with a cheap shower pan, this ls around water heater and terrible smell coming from faucets means we will never return to this place and you should definitely not take their word for anything. Since writing this review we have had time to do our research on property and have come across this complaint numerous times from numerous guests and could probably be a nice place to stay by the lake if someone could at least correct the horrible water problem , and change out the nasty stained furniture. It could do with a new window AC as well or at least clean the damp smell out of the one that is in there now.. It has a nice view of the lake and some decent amenities like kayaks and paddle boards, but we rented a pontoon boat but none of the electronics worked. No horn, no radio, no gauges were working. I’m not sure if this is normal or not and I don’t have any idea how old the boat is. Seemed to run well which was great but that was it.

You can hear the waves
Reviewed By Rowley24We had a great 3 days in the unit right on the beach. It was really peaceful for us & we enjoyed going to sleep with the windows open, listening to the waves and waking to see the sun rise. It was also the weekend of the artists fair which was a real treat. We also had a fire on the beach - a first for us. The only minor things that would have improved it for us, as we enjoyed having breakfast lakeside, would be if two plates, bowls and cutlery had been provided. Otherwise it was just perfect.
