We reluctantly pulled up to the property as it looked uninhabitable and run down. There is a reason there are no pictures on the sight of the outside from the host. Siding in the house was missing in spots, blinds crushed in the windows..inside was dated and the bedding looked old and worn. We left immediately and booked other lodging. We felt it was an unsafe property for our grandchildren. Called the host immediately and she said she would give us a refund and then later refused. We’re not picky people but this was a complete misrepresentation of a property. Beware when booking.

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.

Great Family Stay

We came for a family wedding in Tabor, SD the end of June. The house fit our family, 9 Adults and 7 Kids aged 3 1/2 and under, very well. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed seeing the turkey and deer in the yard. Thanks for sharing your home!

Short family get-away

Perfect for our family get-away. We really enjoyed the wildlife visiting the neighborhood! Extremely quiet area with adequate parking for our 4 vehicles. House was spacious, well equipped, and comfortable. We loved eating our meals outside, however there was plenty of space inside for our 8 adults/3 little ones as well. Wasn’t a fancy place, but definitely homey and adequate!

Winter stay

Attended an archery tournament in Yankton and the house was very conveniently located. Very clean and easy to find. The kids especially enjoyed playing in the snow and sledding down the small hill in the back yard. The only issue we had was it did snow a lot while we were there so it was difficult to get in and out of the slopes driveway. Luckily we were in a 4x4 truck but we did have to use 4x4 to get up the driveway.

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.
