Overview
3 bedroom, 2 Bath Lake House
Our cabin is a 1200 square foot cabin that sleeps 10-11 people. We offer wireless internet, a 50 inch LED HD Smart TV with sound bar and subwoofer on the main floor. The sound bar is bluetooth capable so you can listen to your favorite songs off your smart phone or tablet. There is another 32 inch flat screen TV upstairs with a DVD player. We offer a fully furnished kitchen with a stove, fridge with ice maker, microwave, and a washer and dryer are available for your use. Every room has air conditioning and heat for your comfort. There is a large deck next to the lake with sun umbrellas, a gas grill and a fire ring. At the end of the dock there is an electric boat hoist with cover for boats 22 feet and smaller. You may reserve the hoist for your stay for an extra $125 per stay. Boat rentals are available through Great Lakes Marine Service. You may call 712-336-3822 to rent a boat or look them up online at http://www.greatlakesmarineservice.biz/index.html.
The cabin was remodeled during the winter of 2012-2013. We made improvements in the kitchen, the dining area, the downstairs bathroom, the living room, and then the upstairs bedrooms were insulated for comfort. New carpet was installed upstairs during the spring of 2015. The upstairs bathroom was remodeled during the winter of 2015/2016. Sleeping accommodations include 4 double beds, 2 single beds and a pull out couch. There is full bathroom on the main floor and a full bathroom upstairs. If you stay on the lower level, there are no large steps to overcome and that is great for anyone with mobility issues.
Pets are negotiable. We do not allow pets that shed inside the dwelling because of family allergies. We have had hunters and their dogs come and stay with us. The hunting dogs then stayed in their kennel at night in the garage. We maybe open to non shedding, hyper allergenic pets in the house. Contact the owner for more information.
This will be the last summer we will rent the existing 1920's cabin. A new year round house will replace the cabin during the fall of 2018. We will continue to rent the new lake house when we are not using it. Price and sleeping accommodations for 2019 TBD.

Just what we wanted!!
Loved the mornings with coffee on the deck, right on the lake, just relaxing. Beautiful spot. The cabin is cozy and comfortable and unique in many ways. With just the two of us, it worked out great, I slept in the upstairs and my girlfriend slept downstairs and we each had our own bath. We did not do any cooking, as eating out was our vacation treat, but the kitchen seemed to we well supplied with anything you would need. We really enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings and did cook hot dogs over the open fire ... nice treat!! We had a minor problem with the sliding screen door to the deck, which I reported to John the day that we left, he was very cordial and thanked me for relaying that to him. Overall, it was just a very nice place to get away, be by the lake and relax. I would highly recommend it!
The property is a little dated. Front porch needs work.
The property is very clean. We enjoyed being on the lake. We would rent again. The owner was very professional and easy to work with.

I am late in posting this but did want to say that my family was very pleased with this place. It was a very relaxing weekend for us. Areas close by to do things with our two granddaughters. Washing machine was definitely a plus. Two bathrooms was definitely a plus also with 7 adults and 2 small children. Would definitely do it again if it works out for us. John was so nice and very easy to work with and very understanding.
Hidden Treasure!
The listing for this property was accurate. The pictures provided give you a small glimpse of the beauty that awaits you. The patio, dock and view are exceptional. The house has all the amenities you could ask for to make your stay easy. The family room was wonderful and so comfortable!! Very homey! The only thing we missed was our queen size bed but we really enjoyed the upstairs rooms, very quaint and cozy. The bathrooms were very nice and we liked having two, made getting ready so much easier. The area was wonderful and had many great places to explore. There were also many tasty places to share a meal. John was great to work with and so accommodating and worked hard to meet all of our needs. This is truly a hidden treasure and we can't wait to stay there again! We would highly recommend a stay!
new visitor
We spent 4 nights at the property. The house is older but in usable condition. Nothing fancy but for the area the price was okay. Very nice view of Spirit Lake and close to two different park areas. We left the house cleaner than we found it.
Great house for our family
Great location - close to everything we needed or wanted to do. The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults and 2 children. Plenty of sleeping space and two bathrooms a plus. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. I didn't realize how nice the washer and dryer was until I got home and didn't have any laundry to do. I liked being within walking distance to the playground and beach! We enjoyed the peaceful lake views from the deck. We didn't have a boat but still found some fishing hot spots. The owner is great to work with, always assisted us promptly with any questions we had. This is a great vacation spot.
