Charming 3 bedroom Lake Home on 1 acre is perfect for your family getaway!!

Welcome to the West Bay Cabin on beautiful Lake Francis! This lake house sits on one acre on the quiet and scenic West Bay. Our goal for our guests to enjoy the outdoors on one of the cleanest and most pleasant lakes in Southern MN. The location of the lake home gives guests the opportunity to enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, biking, and memory making!!

About one hour south of Minneapolis/St. Paul and 15 minutes from Mankato, this lake house has the charm of original woodwork and amenities for families, couples, wedding weekends, or retreats.

This house features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. There is parking for up to three vehicles and there's tons of room for kids to run around and play. NEW FOR 2025 - NO ADDITIONAL CLEANING FEE and Included in your stay is use of lily pad, pedal boat, bean floats, loungers, kayaks, and other floats. We will not rent out our pontoon, but feel free to bring your own boat! The property has two docks for guests to use. There's two landings on the lake to launch a boat.

At this property, you have the opportunity for great swimming, fishing, and bike/snowmobile riding. The Sakatah state trail and the City of Elysian is only a stone's throw away from the cabin. It's also home to some of the best summer sunsets on the West Bay!

We enjoyed our mid-week stay very much. Very nice lake house with a nice view of the water from most rooms. Tom was very accommodating in helping to make our stay very enjoyable. We would highly recommend and hope to go back. Gary and Caryll

Quaint & Relaxing
A quaint and scenic stay for any family with all the fun filled water toys you can ask for. Lake view from sunrise to sunset is breathtaking and plenty of open area for the kids to run and have fun. Our family created wonderful memories at this lake home.

Enjoying lake time with the family!
We had perfect weather for our stay and the host was great! Everything was as expected. The kids loved the lily pad and the kayaks. We cooked, played games, fished, and swam a ton! Nice location and quiet setting.

Wonderful!
We had a wonderful time during our recent stay. The cabin was well cleaned and prepared for us. The owners were a delight to communicate with and the lake view was just what we had hoped for. We have children ages 4 and 2 so swimming off the dock didn’t work as well for us BUT the public beach in town was perfect! Kids had a blast. We appreciated all the amenities the cabin had to offer and our stay was more than comfortable. Especially if you have small children like us, we highly recommend checking out the Children’s Museum ($) and Sibley Park (FREE fun!) in Mankato. Thank you Rother Family for sharing your awesome space with us. We are so grateful!

Nice lakeside get-away
If you’re expecting hotel type accommodation this is not your cupola tea. Plenty of room for guests; kitchen amenities were good; We paid extra for water toys; the paddle boat pontoons were half full of water- super difficult to drain & it didn’t have a rope to tie it up with. So I’m giving it a 3 star

Great spot
Tom was very responsive and helpful. The house was very clean and comfortable. We had young kids along that were able to catch fish right off the dock. We also rented the lily pad and it was a hit with the kids. We loved our stay!
