Relaxing retreat

Another wonderful weekend on the lake! It rained all day on Saturday, so I took the opportunity to check out Spencer and the Okaboji area for shopping, eating & a matinee movie. I slept so soundly, and was able to really relax & unwind looking out at the lake. This place has everything I need and more. Thanks Sue for being such a great hostess!

Iowa Nice

The property is nice.The view of the lake is good.It was clean and the outside patio area is nice and the gas fire pit was enjoyable. There was a couple of things that needed attention which I went ahead and fixed.Tha toilet handle in the bathroom was ready to fall off so I tightened that and the door closure on the kitchen door needed to be adjusted.Also the Kurig coffe maker says it needs to be descaled and the refrigerator says the filter needs to be replaced.We enjoyed the slow pace of Emmetsburg.

Great weekend getaway

My husband and I picked a random location with a lake to take our two year old daughter and our family to paddle board and get away to enjoy our wedding anniversary! We loved the home and everything it had to offer. The check in and out process were smooth and the fire pit/grill with a view of the lake was absolutely perfect. We had the ability to launch the paddle boards right across the street and our daughter loved the “sand box” which was the beach and playground right by the house. We didn’t know anything about Emmetsburg until we arrived but the people were so kind, neighbors would stop and chat and we had perfect weather. We will definitely be back!

Lovely Lakeview

This property is quiet, cute and comfortable with a beautiful view of Five Island lake! We loved the outdoor space and found everything we needed in the house. We brought our bikes and enjoyed the FIT (five island trail) and cruising around the lake. This is a perfect space for a couple, two couples, or small family or friend group. Great stay!
