Everything was very clean and prepared for our visit. The lake side of the property was very nice with a bit of a sandy area for getting in the lake. The fire pits had some wood for fires and the gas grill was ready for grilling. We all had a great stay.
This was the perfect place for our family gathering! A beauiful property with plenty of things to do. The house was super clean and the beds were comfy... what else can you ask for!
Ample space, beautiful views and plenty of activities!
This place was absolutely perfect for our group! It comfortably sleeps 15 without feeling cramped. There was plenty of space to relax, hang out, and enjoy. Unlike other rentals we've stayed at that try to cram in extra beds, this home felt open and spacious even with a full group. We loved the outdoor setup with bag boards, bonfires, and room to just unwind. The hosts were incredibly kind, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay. I’d 1000% come back, highly recommend!
Great place for our family to all be together in one place away from our individual homes so we are all on vacation.

About the host
Hosted by Don Meyer
My wife, children and I currently live on the lake as well. We fell in love with Mina Lake when we moved here a few years ago. We both lived close to the Missouri river in South Dakota while growing up, and life brought us to north east South Dakota. We were lucky enough to find this place on the best lake in the area, and have an opportunity to share it with others. We hope you have a great time out at Mina!
Why they chose this property
We chose North Sunset Drive when we moved to the lake because it is one of the more quiet parts of the lake. We enjoy the quiet lake access, and the opportunity to watch deer walk across our yard, and bed down in the back yard, and listen to the rooster ring neck pheasants greet us in the morning.
What makes this property unique
Our house sits on a 2 acre lot, with an unobstructed view of some of South Dakota's best sunsets. While being close enough to Aberdeen for shopping, and sports, this property is far enough away to have a great view of the stars, and occasionally the northern lights. Also If you want to access the lake privately it is less than 1 minute away from the front door with a shed full of water toys for kids. We really liked having the house across the street from the lake with our small children so they could not just walk out to the water, and be unattended.
