About the host
Hosted by April and Danny
April is a Drake University graduate and Danny is a Western Illinois graduate.
When we acquired this property, we thought the perfect name for this property was “Lost Lunker’s Lodge.” As Lunkers means large, the lake frontage is large, the outdoor space is large and the deck is large, and we’re located right on beautiful Lost Island Lake. Originally from Emmetsburg, I lived most of my adult life in the Michigan/Indiana area. My husband and I wanted to move back to this area for family reasons. We fell in love with this property. It had been a resort years ago and we both thought it was too beautiful not to share. We are 5-star hosts on other platforms and every year we're excited for our repeat guests to see our improvements that their rental fees have allowed us to make.
Why they chose this property
We chose this area because we love living in an uncongested friendly area both on land and on water.
What makes this property unique
As close to being right on the lake as you can get with unusual over 140 feet of lake frontage, over 2,000 square foot deck, and huge amount of space for parking is unique for properties right on the lake.
