Top Lake Francis Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Mankato Hotel and Conference Center, MN

8/10 Good

"Decent hotel, just needs upgrades"

Motel 6 Mankato, MN

10/10 Excellent

"I had a really pleasant stay at the Motel 6 Mankato. The hotel is very clean, and the staff members are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their continental breakfast is pretty good. While there are no hot food options, they make up for it with a great selection of prepackaged choices that make it easy to grab something on the go. The only downside is that the queen-size beds felt much more like a full-size bed than a true queen. If you need extra stretching room, keep that in mind. Overall, it is a clean, friendly, and comfortable place to stay, and I would definitely recommend it!"

Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Mankato East by IHG

10/10 Excellent

ARTISTS & ANGLERS INN - game room - home of Madison Lake Paddlefish!!

"This is a beautiful lakefront home with lots of room to spread out. The owners kindly allowed us to borrow kayaks and left their dock in the water for us to enjoy a lovely view of the lake. The kitchen was well equipped for the cooking that we did! The host kindly provided a loaded snack basket and a bottle of wine! We had a wonderful week at the lake!"

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!"

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."

Log Inn on Madison Lake. Multi generation. Corporate retreat for team building

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful lake house with our large family group of 21–24 people! We were welcomed with a hand written note, which made us feel cared for. The location was great, and the house itself was so unique. We really loved how the different floors and spaces were connected, which made it easy for everyone to spend time together while still having plenty of room to spread out.The kids had an absolute blast, and it was such a great opportunity for our entire family to spend quality time together and make lasting memories. The house was also very well stocked with plenty of dishes, utensils, and toilet paper, which was especially appreciated with such a large group. They also provide coffee, had salt and black pepper, and most things we can think of.Overall, we had a fantastic experience and truly enjoyed our family getaway. We would definitely book this place again in the future and would highly recommend it to other large families or groups looking for a fun and memorable lake getaway!"
