My children and grandchildren enjoyed the stay. Grandchildren wanted to know when they could come back to stay again. They especially loved watching the turkeys and even got close enough to get a picture of a young buck deer.

Had a great time with family and conveniently located close to Lewis and Clark Lake. There was so much to do around the house as well. We had a foosball tournament one night. It was great, hopefully we can do it again sometime. Lindsay was responsive, check in and check out was a breeze.

About the host

Hosted by Lindsay

Host profile image
I’m a nurse fulltime and single mother to 7 children. Originally from Nebraska and had been coming to Yankton for years. This home is our oasis and we wanted to share it with others.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is about as close to the lake as you’ll get in Yankton since the state owns most of the water side property at the top of the lake. It’s nestled in the trees, providing a private getaway but yet just a few minutes to the water.

What makes this property unique

It accommodates small and large groups of people at a reasonable rate compared to alternative options and ability to make great memories.
