Great Mankato VRBO

We stayed at this house while visiting Mankato for the weekend to see our daughter who goes to school there. There were 4 of us staying at the house, and there was plenty of space for all of us. The location was fantastic and the house was well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The house exceeded our expectations and communication with the host was fantastic. We will definitely stay here again during future visits if it is available.

Nice new home.

Worked well for our family of four. The house and everything in it was new when we stayed there in November 2021. The house was set up perfectly for our stay. Quiet neighborhood. Good communication with the owner.

My First VRBO

I needed a place to look at real estate in the state. I had looked in Mankato, St.Cloud, and a very large lake an hour north of there. 5 days ,4 nights. I was surprised to rent an entire house for $50.00 less ....per NIGHT, over the Arch and Cable. I also travel for disc Golf
