Return visitor for my family as we were in Yankton for the Rushmore Rumble…great location, easy access, and lots of space…perfect for our family and all our gear!
We came for a family wedding in Tabor, SD the end of June. The house fit our family, 9 Adults and 7 Kids aged 3 1/2 and under, very well. We stayed 3 nights and enjoyed seeing the turkey and deer in the yard. Thanks for sharing your home!
Perfect for our family get-away. We really enjoyed the wildlife visiting the neighborhood! Extremely quiet area with adequate parking for our 4 vehicles. House was spacious, well equipped, and comfortable. We loved eating our meals outside, however there was plenty of space inside for our 8 adults/3 little ones as well. Wasn’t a fancy place, but definitely homey and adequate!
Attended an archery tournament in Yankton and the house was very conveniently located. Very clean and easy to find. The kids especially enjoyed playing in the snow and sledding down the small hill in the back yard.
The only issue we had was it did snow a lot while we were there so it was difficult to get in and out of the slopes driveway. Luckily we were in a 4x4 truck but we did have to use 4x4 to get up the driveway.
Our two sons and their families joined us for a memorable vacation. Our grandchildren (ages 5 - 14) enjoyed using the various outdoor activities on the property and the Missouri River. During the day they went fishing, swimming, hiking and in the evening made smores. There was ample room for our group of 12 both inside and out. There were a variety of tv networks on the large screen, so a movie was shared in the evening. My granddaughter texted within an hour of our vacation to say "that was a fun trip"!! It was music to my ears. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful home!
Our family stayed at the Haven by the Lake for 3 days. The property was perfect for our group of 8. The home was spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was well supplied, and we loved the layout of the house. We took a nice, long walk around the neighborhood and enjoyed seeing the many wild turkeys & deer. We took advantage of the fire pit and enjoyed smores! Located a few miles outside of Yankton so great location! We even took a short drive to Nebraska to enjoy dinner at Murdos. Highly recommend this place!
Owner very easy to work with. Neighborhood is scenic for nature walks.

About the host
Hosted by Lindsay
I’m a nurse fulltime and single mother to 7 children. Originally from Nebraska and had been coming to Yankton for years. This home is our oasis and we wanted to share it with others.
Why they chose this property
This neighborhood is about as close to the lake as you’ll get in Yankton since the state owns most of the water side property at the top of the lake. It’s nestled in the trees, providing a private getaway but yet just a few minutes to the water.
What makes this property unique
It accommodates small and large groups of people at a reasonable rate compared to alternative options and ability to make great memories.
