About this property

2 bedroom 2 bathroom waterfront home sleeps 8. Located just 1 hour and 15 minutes south of Des Moines in Ellston, IA. Full kitchen with breakfast bar has everything you need for a nice stay. Screened in porch to relax and large outdoor patio gives enough space for your family get away. Jump out on the lily pad, take a spin in one of the kayaks, or hop on the stand up paddle board. Enjoy the firepit with provided wood overlooking the lake after spending the day in the water and experience the dark sky full of stars that will take your breath away. There is a playground with beach area along with a 9 hole golf course just minutes away. The Clubhouse is open with a full menu and bar (check seasonal hours on their Facebook page).

We rent our home only when we cannot personally be there as our kids baseball and softball schedules keep us away a certain number of weekends during the summer. This is an older home, far from brand new, but lots of outdoor & deck area to enjoy a quick getaway to the lake without having to travel far. Very quiet in rural southern Iowa surrounded by farmland.

About the host

Hosted by Courtney Lewis

We purchased this home in July of 2020 after visiting the lake for several years. We love it and the memories we make together with every trip down. Our kids are 9 and 11 and love being at the lake! Great opportunity to unplug, unwind, and make memories that will last a lifetime. While we want to be down as much as we can our kids schedules (baseball and softball in the summer) will keep us away at times so we plan to make certain weekends available for those to rent our little piece of paradise.
