Summary: This is a beautiful home and worked out for our group. It was unfortunate some amenities were not available, but we are understanding of the recent flooding as some of us also live in NW Iowa and have also been affected. It would have been appreciated to receive communication on status of property before our arrival.

Summary: The house is comfortable and nicely decorated. The neighborhood is very quiet and somewhat remote. Sleeping arrangements worked with some adjustments for multiple families involved. Having said that, the bedrooms were as advertised. We thoroughly enjoyed the ADA to Spirit Lake. The dock is superb, and the patio is comfortable, The hosts are wonderful to work with and quickly addressed a couple of minor problems. It is an older structure and a few repairs are in order, but overall it was a 5-star accommodation.

Summary: Loved being on the water. Also loved that you can divide the house in two in a way and have a quite side and a loud side. Great Place!

Summary: We had such a great time and really enjoyed the space. The views were beautiful and couldn’t have asked for a better location. Our only wish was that the water was a bit cleaner to swim in. Otherwise, a perfect place for a large family gathering!! It is much more beautiful than the pictures show. We will be back.
