Nick and Lydia were the perfect hosts.Their communication was prompt, professional and courteous.They were incredibly accommodating with our requests. They were attentive and listened to our needs to improve our stay. This was greatly appreciated. I facilitated a spiritual retreat with several guests, and this was the perfect place. It offered a lake view, nature, wildlife, hiking and a full moon.Their property is breathtaking and well cared for. It is clean, bright, and spacious. They have thought of little details to offer their guests-most VRBOs don't think of. Thank you! Well done, Nick and Lydia!I give a 5 star review and highly recommend the Gavin's Point Lake House. Tell them Sandy sent you!SandySource to Soul Reiki Retreat May 2026
This property is amazing. Clean, enormous, well stocked. Everything we could have wanted and more. The view from the balcony is fantastic as well. Had a few questions about the property and got immediate responses. Overall great time, only down side was we had to leave. Will be staying again in the future.
Gavin’s Point Lakehouse was above and beyond expectations! They really have everything you need and more, from the bigger items to the smallest details. We had family coming from Nebraska and some from South Dakota. It was so great to have such a nice place to call home for the weekend! Highly recommend - great place, great communication, very clean!

Thank you very much for the kind review. You took wonderful are of our home and would love to host you again in the future.
Property was stunning. Views from the home are stunning and the memories we made were u forgettable. Beds and pillows were all comfortable and the kitchen was stocked with the tools to allow you to prepare whatever upur heart desired. Communication was simple and responses were quick. Definitely a 5 star in Yankton - we have stayed in countless Vrbos in Yankton and this just raised the bar. She’s stunning!
We had our immediate family reunion at Nick and Lydia's home. What an incredible experience. Four generations under one roof. The property itself is incredible - a priceless view of the river. The home has so much great space and the owners clearly take great pride in the finishes. Wow. The entire process was white glove too. Highly communicative and a joy to work with. And I've never seen a check-in or checkout process that is so seamless. We'll certainly be back. I'm already recommending my friends book here. The best property in the area with incredible hosts. Thank you so much Nick and Lydia!
Great guests. Would definitely rent to them again.
About the host
Hosted by Nick Hochstein
Lydia is from Ohio and Nick is from Yankton, SD. We met in Florida and relocated back to SD to be close to family and enjoy the lake life. We love the outdoors (running, hiking, biking, boating, etc.) and the smaller community. This is our first experience hosting but would love to share our home with others.
Why they chose this property
We are avid trail runners and love the lake. This home has always been a dream and we want to share it. As a guest, you have access to running, hiking, mountain biking, and horse trails right outside the front door. Just down the road, jump on a paved trail with your road bike, tri-bike or e-bike. As a guest you have access to archery, frisbee golf, boat ramp with parking, and a public beach with bathrooms, grills and playgrounds
What makes this property unique
You'll be staying in a private home in one of South Dakota's best State Parks (Lewis and Clark Recreation Area).
