Home was easy to find and access. Front porch wasn’t used by anyone in our party. Has a bit of a rotting wood smell. House opens to dining room, large kitchen and living room with great seating. Kitchen was stocked with everything you need. Beds were comfie. Plenty of beds to choose from. Bathroom downstairs is only shower. Great lighting, great water pressure. Bedroom downstairs has a mattress protector on it, that was plastic and very crinkly. Made it hard to sleep well. Three bedrooms upstairs with bathroom. Bathroom upstairs only has bath tub, and very small sink. Lightning is not great and doors don’t shut tight. Bedroom with king was comfortable, but door didn’t shut. Had to hold it closed or use locking system.

It was a good space. First impression was rough because someone left one of the stove burners on and it smelled terrible in there, but after it dissipated it was fine. There was also a lot of debris, like cereal, under the chairs in the living room. Check-in was easy. Kitchen was nice and well-stocked. Backyard was cozy. The kids all liked the bunkbeds room. House is in a good location.

Check in was easy, owner communication was prompt. The house is very old and needs some upstairs bathroom renovations but we did enjoy the character of the home. The backyard amenities were subpar with a grill rusted out and the corn hole bags busted - plus most of the sandbox, dinning furniture, and playground items weren’t accessible with the overgrown backyard. Beds were comfortable but might want to bring your own comforters because they only had throws on the beds which seemed odd as most people don’t bring their own bedding with them. Location is roughly 15mins from anything on East or West lakes unless you just want to hang out at Big Spirit. Shops around the house were good as were the restaurant options but again none of the major tourist places are within walking distance. Big bonus is the Spirit Lake community school playground - completely renovated and great space for kids of all ages. We’ll be back to this cute lake town but will stay closer to the main strip/water next time.

Everything about this property is old. The driveway where we parked our truck and boat was a swamp due to the sump pump running constantly. The back yard is over grown and moldy smelling like the inside. Indoor and outdoor furniture are full of stains. On the positive side, it was a convenient location to get to the boat docks and lakes.
