I was in charge of booking this property for a group of coworkers who used it to hold a business retreat. I did not personally go, but they said it was great. It was a nice getaway, quiet, and allowed them to brainstorm some great ideas!

Great Location!

Great place to stay. We were there to fish so it was perfect with the heated garage to clean fish and bring things in to thaw out. Only negative thing I would say is driveway isn't very big so 2 trucks with trailers is all there is room for.

Family Vacation

My sister, myself and our adult/teen kids spent the week in Watertown visiting our parents. Location was perfect for us, beach and water play was super fun, it appeared that the appliances were brand new, communication with the owner was easy. Hope to come back next summer!

Summer retreat

Relaxing and enjoyable location, perfect for the kids to play on the beach and still have a lawn to also enjoy. Nice fire pit area and patio area. the only thing that would make it better would a screened area to escape from the flies at times. Nice kitchen area and appreciate the use of the garage and extra parking available. thanks for sharing

Best Sunrises and Sunsets

We were stayed here for an extended time while waiting for our house to close, and it was a wonderful experience for our family! We LOVED watching the sunrise and sunset over the lake, taking walks along the shore, and even ice skating when it got cold enough for the lake to freeze! This home is in a great location, just outside of town. The property manager was excellent to work with and made accomodations to help us. Highly recommend staying here for your next vacation!

Pheasant hunt 2023

The bird/fish cleaning station in the attached garage was a plus since we were there to hunt pheasant. And, I was able to have my birddog, that lives in our home, in the rental. Everything we needed was provided. This would be a great summer rental also due to the patio, lawn and beach area just outside the back door.

Lake Kampeska

Great stay on the lake! Everything was clean and orderly and as advertised. It is right on the lake with great views. Kitchen has everything you need. Owner/manager was very responsive. Back yard is great for hanging out or letting the dog or kids take a swim in the lake. Do take note that driveway and front yard is right off of busy highway so this can be an issue for those with small children or unleashed/uncontrolled dogs. It is also difficult (but not impossible) to park the boat in the driveway. Overall though, this is a great place to stay and close to golf courses, Zoo & the city of Watertown.

Absolutely not what was stated in past reviews!

- On arrival, underneath both bathroom toilet seats were dirty - Safety issues: - only one sliding glass door had a working lock….both doors use a wood piece to secure the lock - showers are extremely slippery & no shower mat or bathroom rugs - front door doesn’t open from the inside, only from the outside when the door code is punched in - I have NEVER stayed at a VRBO that only had 2 extra rolls of toilet paper for a 6 day stay & then the guests are expected to purchase!!! Also, no shower soap or Kleenex. - No screen doors on sliders. - VERY dated kitchen cabinets, some without doors. - Ongoing TV issues. I’ve been in many VRBO’s….this house was not the quality I’ve ever stayed before. Loved Watertown & the lake….so beautiful & we’ll go again, but would NOT stay here!

Vacation with the grandkids

Over all everything was good. The view was great, beach clean except for the 'droppings' left by the geese on the beach and grass on a daily basis. Sitting inside in the evening was lacking as there was only enough for 5 people. 3 nice recliners and a love seat which 2 could use, there was 7 of us. Could have used some extra dinner plates, again only 7 so had to do a lot of washing and silverware was also lacking. Plenty of steak knives but only 4 butter knives and 4 teaspoons. Iron and ironing board were listed as one of the amenities, I did need it but couldn't find one. The outdoor fire pit was great and enjoyed by all. This is the 3rd year that I have rented a lake house on Lake Kampeska. This one gave me the beach and view but for the cost and lack of board games and lawn games and the added fees, I don't think this is a place I would rent in the future. I had a chance to talk with Brian, he was very nice and adjusted the air conditioner settings. I do want to thank him for the use of the home.

Summer Fishing Trip

The property was nice and as described. It was a very good value. Owner was great at communicating. Having the garage space was nice. Place was clean. It was a little tight for six adults on a fishing trip but would work great for a family with small kids. The owner had built a set of bunk beds in one room. It was creative way to get three twins into that room. It did creak at night and was a little noisy. There was no dock which was a mistake on our part that we did not see it in the description. Not that big of deal but would have been nice to be able to pull up the boat and jet ski to the dock. We did blow a fuse when temporarily parking a camper out front. It was not a big deal because the camper was intended to stay just down the road at a campground. No complaints with the owner. He was great to work with. I would definitely recommend it for a small group of four or five that was going up to hunt or fish in Northeast South dakota. tdescription.
