Descrizione della casa che offriamo
Have you ever wondered where all those aunts and uncles (& sometimes even grandparents) emigrated to in the later 19th Century? We welcome you to join us as your hosts (May through October) for an introduction to a part of the US that is rarely visited by Transatlantic visitors, perhaps after exchange time in our suburban Washington, DC home. Settled by Swedes, Norwegians, Germans, Welsh & Irish, as well as a good few from the greater "Austro-Hungarian Empire", our little towns reflect these heritages in the traditions carried on to this day. Our home, just off a good recreational lake (fishing, swimming & boating), offers guests private amenities on the lower level of the house - two bedrooms, bath, great room with comfortable seating, as well as our main-floor living/dining spaces, outdoor deck and large garden.

Descrizione del vicinato e dei paraggi
Our village (pop. 1000) is typical of this area of Minnesota. Three bar/restaurants, a hardware store, wine/beer shop and tiny "gas & go" grocer provide needed amenities to residents as well as summer "lake" people - who enjoy our parks and lakes. Nearby Mankato is the shopping hub of a large area in this South-Central part of the State. Just over an hour from Minnesota's "Twin Cities" of Minneapolis & St. Paul, it's an easy, quick drive to explore the many historic & fine arts museums & galleries. Around us are towns like New Ulm - with it's historic Schell's brewery, New Prague and it's stately St. Wenceslas church, Nicolett County with it's deep Swedish & Norwegian roots part of every town and village, including St. Peter's Gustavus Adolphus College. Heritage plays a big part of life in these small towns, where every summer weekend fairs, festivals, parades, and farmer's markets can be found within an hour's drive of our home.

I nostri consigli su cosa non perdere in questa zona
Hiking & biking enthusiasts may enjoy the Sakatah Trail - a nearly 50-mile trail that links nearby Mankato with the city of Faribault. This old rail line (paved), passes a half-dozen villages, lakes and innumerable farm fields and pastures. Lots of places to stop for a break - or even a swim - a drink, and ice cream, or even a cup of tea with freshly-baked pastries! Rentals of boats, paddleboards, wind-surfing boards and kayaks are available locally - and river-kayaking groups are formed regularly forhalf-day trips on nearby Minnesota & Watonwan Rivers.
Cosa ci piace, cosa non gradiamo… Ecco le regole in casa nostra.
We'll help plan your days out - and welcome you back before OR after dinner each day...
