What guests think
Travellers consistently praise Mansion on Lake Tainter for its spacious layout that suits large groups, private en-suite rooms, and multiple gathering areas, while noting a responsive host and beautiful lake views alongside some lake-swimming limitations and minor maintenance quirks.
Guests highlight the game room with table games, kayaks and yard games, a well stocked kitchen and pantry with an extra fridge, plus patios and bedroom decks that create quiet retreats away from the main gathering spaces. The setting is convenient for Menomonie errands and feels peaceful and private, though access down to the water can be challenging for some. Overall, it suits big reunions and celebrations that prioritize space, cooking, and indoor fun.

This property is ideal for a multifamily event. The main part of the house is a level entry and many bathrooms have a walk in shower. The outdoor patio is also a level entry. The lower level game area with a multi-bunk room is a fantastic space for those wishing to stay up late to visit and enjoy games/television. There can be quite a bit of late-night visiting without noise travelling to the bedrooms upstairs. There are also screened in private deck areas off of the bedrooms, providing private quiet spaces for those wishing to escape. The proximity to Menomonie makes shopping easy and the large walk in pantry with an extra fridge provides plenty of space for everyone's snack and beverage requests. We very much enjoyed our family celebration!

Spacious, well/appointed property with good wi-fi, great views. Pros: master bedroom was amazing, other bedrooms comparable to each other nice to have en suite bathrooms& decks on each. Plenty of kitchen items & spaceCons: mgmt requests no shoes indoors but floors didn’t feel clean, maybe due to ac struggling to keep up with space. Stairs down to water were mossy and uneven, could be challenging for some. Grassy area around dock lots of algae in Aug. Rented the pontoon along with the house, it wasn’t in great shape but reasonable for the price.Overall our group of 5 families would book here again. The views were beautiful & most spacious property we’ve booked together

We were there for a grandson’s wedding in the area; it was perfect for our family; five married couples and four tweens!! Plenty of room for all; it was luxury to have so many bathrooms (one of my sons and his family flew from Asheville and appreciated that as they had no water at home)! Kitchen was well stocked with all cookware etc.. no eating out; we all are foodies!! Lots of frig storage; no need for coolers. Kids figured out surround sound system and we had music!’ Would definitely book again. Great for large family

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.

This is our third time at the Mansion and it was great as always! The lake was quiet green and definitely in bloom but we enjoyed the fishing, swimming, and tubing! The accommodations are prefect, meeting the needs of all ages and interests. The yard was great for cornhole, bocce ball, volleyball, and frisbee. The game room was awesome for the video and table gamers. There is plenty of space for all five of our families with fabulous space for cooking, eating, sleeping, resting, relaxing, and playing games. The only thing we didn't expect was to share the beach and dock since we had not done this before. It worked fine but didn't realize that this was now how it works. Love spending time with family and look forward to more opportunities to do so in the future in this amazing home!

Each year we have 4 generations that spend an extended weekend together. This property was well maintained and plenty of room!!!! We were all able to have our own rooms and the game room was great!! Ping pong and pool add plenty of space for our Grandkids to run around! A few even ventured out on the kayaks! Would highly recommend!

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.

Wonderful property, very responsive host, loved unique layout allowing for many guests without being crowded or noisy and allows for groups to stay up later or go to bed early. House was very clean and plenty of towels/linens and kitchen supplies. Great property for large group, would come back again. Maybe for kids 1 year anniversary. Hosting my sons wedding party made the event even better. Couple minor items not a big deal but handy to know broken big ice maker was told about so bought bunch bags ice, air hockey not working no biggy. It is on the the lake but access is off river though and swampy there so if want to swim need to boat out some way. We all brought swimsuits but no time anyway. If come hoping to use lake would want to be aware though.Thanks for making our wedding weekend even better.

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.

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!

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.

The Mansion feels even more spacious in real life! We had a wonderful stay with our extended family and more than enough room for us all. There were a number of features of the house that we greatly appreciated - every bedroom being ample and having its own bathroom was so nice. And, the bedrooms being in a separate wing from the game room and main congregating space of the kitchen/dining/living area meant that the baby could sleep right through all the laughter and family games. The only downside for our group was unfortunately the lake itself. It does have a significant algae problem which limited swimming, and the fishing was not good at all while we were there. It was fun to kayak and paddle in, and we enjoyed taking the pontoon out, as well, but those who really look forward to fishing on our vacation were disappointed on that front. Overall, though, I would highly recommend the mansion to another large family group that was looking for an expansive space to play games, relax, and enjoy a good campfire.

This property worked wonderful for our gathering, great kitchen, lower level game room and overall main floor layout. Jessica was very responsive to the few questions we had. I would highly recommend this operty for a largeer gathering. One suggestion is to check the wall outlets, it seemed as if only the bottom ones worked.

We stayed at Lake Tainter Mansion for a sibling family reunion and everyone loved it! It was very spacious and each bedroom on the main level having its own private bathroom was greatly appreciated. The mansion is on a beautiful private setting where we often saw eagles and an occasional deer. Jessica was always prompt in replying to any questions we had. Hoping to have an opportunity to return. The bar has been set high!

Our three adult children and their families gathered with us at the Mansion. There's plenty of room and great bedrooms for all. The grandkids loved the game room. We were a little disappointed that the lake is not very nice for swimming this time if the year, but two of the families enjoyed renting the pontoon and exploring the lake It took us a minute to figure out the light controls and never found the right button to turn on the lower outlets in the adult bedrooms. Overall, it is a very nice property, location and a great and responsive host

Wonderful property, very responsive host, loved unique layout allowing for many guests without being crowded or noisy and allows for groups to stay up later or go to bed early. House was very clean and plenty of towels/linens and kitchen supplies. Great property for large group, would come back again. Maybe for kids 1 year anniversary. Hosting my sons wedding party made the event even better. Couple minor items not a big deal but handy to know broken big ice maker was told about so bought bunch bags ice, air hockey not working no biggy. It is on the the lake but access is off river though and swampy there so if want to swim need to boat out some way. We all brought swimsuits but no time anyway. If come hoping to use lake would want to be aware though.Thanks for making our wedding weekend even better.

Location
Lakeside setting feels scenic and private with easy trips to Menomonie and about 1.5 hours from MSP. Several reviews note algae or swampy areas and uneven access, making swimming less ideal at times.

This property is ideal for a multifamily event. The main part of the house is a level entry and many bathrooms have a walk in shower. The outdoor patio is also a level entry. The lower level game area with a multi-bunk room is a fantastic space for those wishing to stay up late to visit and enjoy games/television. There can be quite a bit of late-night visiting without noise travelling to the bedrooms upstairs. There are also screened in private deck areas off of the bedrooms, providing private quiet spaces for those wishing to escape. The proximity to Menomonie makes shopping easy and the large walk in pantry with an extra fridge provides plenty of space for everyone's snack and beverage requests. We very much enjoyed our family celebration!

Spacious, well/appointed property with good wi-fi, great views. Pros: master bedroom was amazing, other bedrooms comparable to each other nice to have en suite bathrooms& decks on each. Plenty of kitchen items & spaceCons: mgmt requests no shoes indoors but floors didn’t feel clean, maybe due to ac struggling to keep up with space. Stairs down to water were mossy and uneven, could be challenging for some. Grassy area around dock lots of algae in Aug. Rented the pontoon along with the house, it wasn’t in great shape but reasonable for the price.Overall our group of 5 families would book here again. The views were beautiful & most spacious property we’ve booked together

What a beautiful place with an even better location! There was an issue before we got to the VRBO, and the host messaged us, explained the problem, and offset the cost due to the minor inconvenience!

We stayed at Lake Tainter Mansion for a sibling family reunion and everyone loved it! It was very spacious and each bedroom on the main level having its own private bathroom was greatly appreciated. The mansion is on a beautiful private setting where we often saw eagles and an occasional deer. Jessica was always prompt in replying to any questions we had. Hoping to have an opportunity to return. The bar has been set high!

This is our third time at the Mansion and it was great as always! The lake was quiet green and definitely in bloom but we enjoyed the fishing, swimming, and tubing! The accommodations are prefect, meeting the needs of all ages and interests. The yard was great for cornhole, bocce ball, volleyball, and frisbee. The game room was awesome for the video and table gamers. There is plenty of space for all five of our families with fabulous space for cooking, eating, sleeping, resting, relaxing, and playing games. The only thing we didn't expect was to share the beach and dock since we had not done this before. It worked fine but didn't realize that this was now how it works. Love spending time with family and look forward to more opportunities to do so in the future in this amazing home!

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.

The Mansion feels even more spacious in real life! We had a wonderful stay with our extended family and more than enough room for us all. There were a number of features of the house that we greatly appreciated - every bedroom being ample and having its own bathroom was so nice. And, the bedrooms being in a separate wing from the game room and main congregating space of the kitchen/dining/living area meant that the baby could sleep right through all the laughter and family games. The only downside for our group was unfortunately the lake itself. It does have a significant algae problem which limited swimming, and the fishing was not good at all while we were there. It was fun to kayak and paddle in, and we enjoyed taking the pontoon out, as well, but those who really look forward to fishing on our vacation were disappointed on that front. Overall, though, I would highly recommend the mansion to another large family group that was looking for an expansive space to play games, relax, and enjoy a good campfire.

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.
