Best stocked kitchen of any VRBOs we have booked in the past, great central kitchen/dinning/seating location for large gatherings! We also liked the kayaks, yard games and lake views from the backyard. The numerous bedrooms with attached bathrooms was perfect for our group of teens to older grandparents. We also enjoyed nearby Menomonie with its downtown charm and nice grocery and other amenities.

Excellent place for a long weekend and anniversary party

Place is fun to explore and the rooms are very nice. Perfect for our group of 18 staying, and just under 30 for the party. A bit of a learning curve figuring out the lights, but overall a great property.

Perfect get away

This was a great place for two families to share a long weekend with all of our adult kids. Everyone had their own space and at the same time there were so many nice common areas to gather. We ended up with great weather, but if it hadn’t been nice outside we would’ve spent more time in the game room. Everyone enjoyed the space and great memories were made.

Perfect for our Family reunion

This is our second stay at the Mansion and we are already planning a return next year. Plenty of space to spread out inside and out. The spacious individually themed bedrooms each with their own bathrooms is a big plus for us. Huge kitchen with 2 large dining tables, fantastic game room add to the reasons why we are planning a 3peat. All I can add is….Enjoy, you will!

Perfect house for up north winter trip.

The house was extremely clean and is even bigger than the description makes it seem. Plenty of clean towels (which is oddly uncommon at rental houses) along with clear instructions throughout the property. Great place for ice fishing, snow machines, and other winter activities. I’m sure summer is just as good!

Cradle at Tainter Lake 24

Most of us stayed at the Mansion last year, but we added a couple newcomers, eleven in all this year. We are a group of college (classes '72-'74) buddies and spouses, and we are already checking probable schedules for a return in '25. The place is perfect for a large, mixed group. We look forward to returning.

Our stay was wonderful. We appreciated having a room that fit all of us and still gave us space as we needed it. It was a easy process made by the property manager Jessica. Our only suggestion is to clean under couch cushions, behind the headboards and to update the decor and some of the broken furniture. Yes we’d stay there again.

Amazing!

We had 19 of us, all family. Loved the patio, the lake views, the house. Especially loved the number of semi-private areas for small conversations. The kitchen had lots of room (seated all of us) and more than ample kitchen supplies and appliances. 1 1/2 hours from MSP airport. I have already highly recommended this house and service to two friends who want to do the same thing.

Cradle at Tainter Lake

Our group of college friends and spouses have been getting together annually in different parts of the country, and this was the first time coming to the Upper Midwest. The property was everything it looked like in the listing and more. There were nine of us and we would/will return to the Mansion at Tainter Lake the next time we reunite up here.
