About Winsted

Winsted is a quiet lakeside town in McLeod County, sitting roughly an hour west of the Twin Cities.

The community has a welcoming small-town atmosphere where neighbors know one another and local events bring everyone together. Families have access to both public schools and Holy Trinity Catholic School, which is supported each summer by the popular Winstock Country Music Festival. With peaceful neighborhoods, good schools, and a straightforward commute to larger nearby cities, Winsted is a great fit for anyone looking for a slower pace by the water.
