We had a great time staying at this property, the house is clean and has everything you need. We enjoyed the fire pit and fishing off the dock. We will be coming back again soon. We gave this property five stars, the only thing none of us liked were the beds, being that they were SUPER soft (but that’s our own personal preference). Thanks again, Audrey!

Great property

We are a family of 6 that just wanted a little getaway. We had a great time swimming, hanging out, doing s’mores, and playing board games. This property was very open and had lots of space for all of us! It got warm one of the nights and the property owner came and got it fixed right away! They were great to work with.

Nice to stay near the lake

I’ve never been able to stay in a house near Five Island Lake, so this was a cool experience. There is a great fire pit area and dock down by the lake. Overall you stay here for the proximity to the lake and the newness of the building. Which is not really offered in any other rental house in Emmetsburg. Grateful for the opportunity to experience it! The house has beautiful new wooden flooring and a nice living room. Check-in using the door code was perfectly easy. The house is set quite far back from the lake so you really have to walk down to the firepit area to get a lake view. I imagine this building is actually meant to be the back guest house and the owners are going to build a full size house in front of it near the lake eventually. Andrea was kind and responsive with my few concerns and I’m sure she will continue to make the house more and more comfortable for guests as the listing continues. Enjoy this unique experience and stay by the lake!
