Lots of dishes bowls and glassware! HOME OF THE GRAND MADISON LAKE PADDLE FISH State of Minnesota issued a seizure permit #202888 for us to be able to keep the skull and a replica of the fish. This skeleton of a paddle fish washed up on Madison Lake beach in 1989. From this skeleton the folks at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago and the Missouri Game and Fish department provided their best estimate of weight over 100 lbs, length 68 inches, and age approximately 35 years old. Paddle fish are plankton eaters with no teeth and are harmless to humans and illegal to catch in Minnesota. Lots of off street parking for all your water toys! 150 lineal feet of sandy beach with over hanging willow trees to hold the pan fish close for shore fishing. We are in the process of building a sand box for when the water levels are high and our beach is under water. Our fish cleaning shed with screens, light, and water as well as a space to keep your gear locked up over night (bring your own padlock) is now finished! We have two boating docks available! The boat ramp is a short drive around the bay to the south. For our fellow artists we have set up a bright classroom area facing Madison Lake. It has 12 desks with easels and brush holders, drawing boards, and a grand instructors oak easel, storage cabinet, extra folding chairs and stools all looking toward the lake. Ideal for sleepovers or just an evening of wine and cheese paint parties! Great as an extra option for more sleeping space when renting our Log Inn #HA9246925 two parcels away which sleeps 24 and has plenty of extra social spaces!

Jul 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Large lakehouse with game room Our extended family had a fun 5 night stay on Madison Lake. We had 6 adults and 4 kids. There is a large game room with a pool table, ping pong, fooseball, keyboard, and a variety of games and toys, and a 2nd fridge. The kitchen is large and well stocked with pots and pans and dishes galore, and a Kuerig coffee machine. They even provided some snacks, waters, and a couple bottles of wine! What a nice surprise! We enjoyed time by the lake having a fire in the fire pit and playing corn hole toss. We went kayaking few times - we were surprised to see 7 kayaks! One day we used 6 kayaks together. We swam off the dock - its pretty shallow and sandy bottom, some seaweed, but not bad. I had a good communication line with Dorothy and any questions or needs were responded to immediately. She stopped by the first day to introduce herself and make sure we had everything we needed. Jerry is super nice too. The kids loved having so much room to play inside. We spent quite a bit of time painting at the easels - such a great setup! I brought some watercolor paper and paints, and a couple of the kids spent hours each day painting. 2 BRs are upstairs - I got the room with a sun room overlooking the lake - it was so peaceful! There is a 2nd BR upstairs with a shared bath, 1 BR off the kitchen with ensuite bath, and an 'apartment' downstairs with 2 beds, a living area and full bath. The bedding was really nice, with soft brushed cotton sheets and soft fluffy blankets.Great spot, super hosts. ##### Mary B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott V.

We also didn’t know that it would be stocked with toys. All of these extras made our stay wonderful. We wish we had been able to stay and enjoy the place, but we were joyfully busy because our son and daughter-in-law got married in Elysian at Ahavah Cottage and this property was less than five miles from the venue. It was perfect. ##### Scott V. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Leann S.

The extra playroom/garage area was perfect! We played minute to win it games with the kids with plenty of room to spare. We also brought sleds and a snowmobile for outside activities. The living room had a nice sized area we could blow up a queen sized mattress for 6 of the grandkids to sleep on. Everyone really enjoyed themselves and our time together. ##### Leann S.

Dorothy was very sweet and helpful and they left wine and snacks for us which was a really nice surprise! They also left water in every room and the decor was vintage and charming. They stocked it really well with paper towel, soap, etc. The not so good— bugs were bad-mosquitoes, flies and ants inside and out. I’m not sure but I think they were getting in from the greenhouse area that we were told to keep open (into the house). Disappointed in the lake as it wasn’t one I’d swim in—it was dirty (more like river water) but definitely a good fishing lake. Overall we had a good time! ##### Trish T.
