This VRBO was a great find. It has a great view of the lake, and we used the firepit on the beach virtually every night. It has plenty of room and great lounging areas to relax.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house was as advertised and just a short walk to the lake for fishing and relaxation. The host was responsive leading up to and throughout our stay. We’re already discussing our next visit.

Clean rooms and house. Should have off season prices considering it was to cold to swim in the lake but besides that a very nice place to stay.

I'm sorry that the weather did not cooperate for your stay! We do not have an off season, because people come to visit for all sorts of reasons (This time of year in Iowa its usually not swimming) Hunting, Fishing, Family events ect..

We were in town for sad reasons, but were so grateful to have such a lovely, comfortable place to stay! Angel's place was just perfect - the beds were comfortable, all the bathrooms were really nicely set up, and the kitchen was fabulous. We spent most of our time around the island chatting. The view over the lake off the back patios was incredible, and the stars at night were gorgeous. I would definitely stay here again.

Fam3uly reunion at the lake

Amazing lake home!

This was by far the nicest rental we have encountered in our travels. The home was immaculate, well appointed, and had everything we needed! Two levels for enjoying the outdoors - dock for fishing and enjoying the water. The neighbors were very pleasant and welcoming. We would -100%- come again!

Lake Ponderosa House

Very nice 3 level house. Open living area. Roomy deck on second level. Nice patio area on lower level. About 3 miles from town, so easy access if we needed anything. Open communication with homeowner. We, ur kids, and grandkids had an enjoyable and relaxing stay.
