About this property

The Ho Hum East is a beautiful lake house with private dock on pristine Apple Canyon Lake! The house is named in honor of my grandparents who ran the Ho Hum Motel in Denison, Iowa :)

This is a place to unwind, de-stress, and have some family fun! The house features all brand new mattresses in 3 full bedrooms plus flex space; master bedroom with queen bed, guest bedroom with 1 queen and 1 twin, loft bedroom with 2 queens, pull out couch in living room, and 2 mini couches in the loft that pull out into twin beds. Large open living space that is great for entertaining, HUGE wrap around deck where you can enjoy amazing views of the lake, as well as a large backyard with gas grill.

Lake house charm with all the amenities you need to make a memorable weekend. Private dock is great for swimming or fishing. The house also has a stand up kayak that can be used, as well as fishing poles. Outdoor dining table and 2 fire pits, one by the dock and another closer to the house. This is a private lake so you're unable to bring your own boat, but there is boat rental available through the marina.

Great location as advertised

We are all property owners who wanted a rental house for a weekend of relaxing and ice fishing. We were able to access the area we wanted to fiah, right from the property. Worked great! Will book again!

Great Lake House

This is a great place to vacation with family and friends. The lakefront landing is gorgeous and had plenty of room for fishing, dining, bonfires, and a dock for all lake activities!

ACL House

We had a great time at the ACL house. The house was beautiful; we were able to house all of our family easily. The dock and shoreline were nice. We were able to use existing water toys and our own easily.

Why they chose this property

My parents and aunt/uncle own the house across the street! My parents loved the house, so I bought it for them. They are planning on living there during the summers after they retire, but in the meantime, we're renting it out to cover the mortgage cost.

What makes this property unique

You will have an on-call property manager right across the street! If you have any questions on where to go or what to see, or need anything at all, help is just a stone's throw.
