The downstairs great room is a kid-friendly area for games or lounging on the sectional sofa and watching movies.

Summer months are ideal for boating, kayaking, and fishing. Bring your boat or rent our pontoon for a daily fee. Enjoy the large backyard for games and peaceful evenings around the campfire. Kayaks are complimentary for guest use and shared with our other Airbnb property. We just ask that they’re returned after use so everyone can enjoy them.

In winter, the mansion offers a cozy escape with fireplaces, ice fishing, snowshoeing, sledding, and snowmobiling.

There is a 7-night minimum stay during summer months and a 4-night minimum stay during other months. Enjoy a 10% discount for weekly stays during fall, winter, and spring!

Other things to note
Tainter Lake is approximately a 1605 acre lake located in Dunn county. It has a maximum depth of about 37 feet. Depending on the weather in the summer months, the water clarity can be low due to algae growth. Later in the summer months this lake tends to get a bit green. May until early July are the best months to enjoy swimming. Still a great size lake for boating, kayak and fishing!
