Lake Retreat Close to Town and Enjoy Nature on Bike Trail

Thank you for your kind remarks. We hope that you found everything that you needed for your stay. Thank you for leaving the property in such good condition, also. We hope if you need to work in the area again, you will consider staying again at Kampeska rental.

We are glad you and your family enjoyed our lake home. The dock and bench allow easy access to the lake, and the steps down into the water make entry easy. We hope you keep coming back!

Thank you for your kind words. Kampeska Rental is a place that is close to Watertown, yet a “get-away” from the busy areas. We hope you can stay again soon!

Thank you for your review. We hope that you will stay at Kampeska Rental again.

We are glad that the weather was decent for your stay. Winter weather can change very quickly in South Dakota. The fireplace adds a nice coziness to the living room. We hope you can stay again in the summer and use the dock and lake.

Thank you for your review. We try to provide a comfortable and convenient place to stay while visiting Watertown. We hope that the Mayfly hatch didn’t get too “buggy” for you. At least the seagulls were happy!!!

Thank you for your review. We always love repeat guests, and hope you can stay next summer, also!

We are glad you had a good stay. We hope you enjoyed the fire pit and grill, the lake from the dock, and the lawn toys. We try to provide things to make our guest’s stays fun. Thank you for leaving the home in good condition. We hope you can stay again!

We are glad you had a good stay. Hope you got your birds!!!

Thank you for your kind remarks. We try to keep Kampeska Rental clean, comfortable, and supplied with the things you need for a fun vacation. We hope you can return again!

We love repeat guests! We try to keep the home comfortable and clean, and with the trees and lake, we agree it is a peaceful spot to relax and unwind. Thank you for your kind remarks.

We are glad you enjoyed our lake home. We hope you can return again soon!

Thank you for your nice comments. We try to have the home supplied with the essential items for our guests. We hope you can return again. We hope you caught some fish!!

Thank you for your kind remarks. We try to provide an excellent value to our guests, and lake front views are always great, especially when the weather is good!

Thank you for your review. We try to provide a clean and comfortable “home away from home” when you stay at Kampeska. Hopefully you were able to enjoy the lake and dock before the dock was taken out for the season.

Thank you for your booking. We always think that Fall is the best time to travel, if possible, with less crowds, and the weather in South Dakota is usually still good into October. We try to keep Kampeska Rental a comfortable and clean place to stay, and if all the available bedding is used, it can actually sleep 12! (sofa bed included) We hope that you can return again for another family celebration.

We are glad you enjoyed your visit to Watertown. Too bad you only caught a carp. There are usually bass and catfish and some walleye off the dock. The best fishing months are late April and all of May. Sometimes later in the fall months also.

Thank you for your review. Lake houses attract LOTS of bugs! We provide yard guard "fogger" spray under the sink in the kitchen to help with the fly problem in the summer.... on windy days the flies are not bad, but then there is the WIND! We hope that you can return again.

I found out that the neighbor’s internet was out during most of your stay. And just to be clear, we do NOT have WiFi advertised at the property. We are glad you were able to use the unadvertised neighbor’s WiFi when it was working. Regarding the insects, keeping bugs outside near a lake is hard to do, especially since the home is 100 years old. We have tented it in the past, and will probably do it again soon.

Thank you for your review. Since the cabin is on the lake, bugs are a continuing exterior problem. Although the floors and kitchen were thoroughly cleaned, the wooden flooring is 100 years old, just like the rest of the cabin! I agree that the windows did need cleaning, since many guests open them at night to let in the cool night air, so they should have been cleaned, and were attended to as soon as I became aware of it. We hope you can stay again.

We are sorry that the neighbor’s dog kept you awake in the night….. since the neighbor with the dogs are three lots away, they rarely bark unless someone is in their yard. If you had let me know, I could have addressed this issue with the owners. Usually people are hearing the pheasants and crickets at night!!! We hope you can return again and find a quieter stay! As an update, on July 1, 2024, we coordinated with the neighbor to install a privacy fence between the two neighbor properties......the dogs cannot see anything now, and consequently they bark MUCH LESS!

Thank you for your comments. As an older cabin, the rooms are not huge, and the 2 QUEEN-sized beds take up most of the space in the bedrooms downstairs. The KING-sized bed in the upstairs loft has a bit more room, since the loft addition was added as one big room with alcoves. The queen sized sofa bed in the living room adds sleeping space, but is not as private. The dust issues will be told to the housekeepers, for future reference. We hope that you can give Kampeska Rental another chance.

Thank you for your review. Since the home is lakeside, it gets a lot more bugs than a home that is not lakeside. That being said, the windows and screens do need cleaning. And the floor was cleaned, but bugs are everywhere outside, and try to get in all the time ! I will make sure that the cobwebs are gone from the ceiling. I hope that you will give Kampeska Rental another chance.

Thank you for your repeat booking! We hope you enjoyed your family reunion! Even though the building is 100 years old, we have the modern conveniences to make your stay comfortable. We hope you come again soon!
