We had a wonderful stay at Dan’s home in Mankato! It was perfect for our family. The house was very clean, and the kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed. There were tons of fun things for the kids to do—games, darts, foosball, and even cornhole!The location was also amazing. There’s a park literally in the backyard, and the community pool is just a few steps away. It made everything so easy and enjoyable for both the kids and adults.Dan was a great host—friendly and easy to communicate with. He made everything smooth from start to finish. We loved it here and would absolutely stay again! ##### Lois Klein
