About this property

Eldorado Lodge Luxurious Log Home. Stunning Lake Views. Peace, Seclusion, Nature

Are you looking for a well-appointed home that has room for your entire family? Would you like to escape to a quiet location that is surrounded by nature? Do you love a huge deck with a never-ending Lake View? We think you should consider The Eldorado Lodge for your next family getaway! Tucked into the corner of a 40 ACRE parcel you will find this majestic log home overlooking Lewis and Clark Lake. This unique property is located at the end of a PRIVATE road with absolutely no neighbors. This fabulous custom home features over 3200 square feet of finished living area, plus a 2000 square foot unfinished basement game-room! Most of the windows, on all three levels, look out to the gorgeous Lake. The main floor features an oversize master bedroom with King size bed and an ensuite bathroom, this room also has direct access to the massive deck that spans the length of the house on 2 sides. Formal dining area has a large table with seating for 12 people. Living and dining rooms have soaring ceilings with giant log trusses overhead and 2-story windows that fill the home with sunshine. We have fast WIFI and Roku TVs, so you can log into your account and not miss your favorite movies or shows. Our gourmet kitchen features a commercial size gas stove with griddle plus wall oven / microwave and there is also a 4 burner Weber grill on the deck. Kitchen is fully stocked and features a toaster oven, drip coffee maker, toaster, Keurig machine, blender and dishwasher. Main floor has a half bath, and individual laundry room with washer / dryer and laundry room sink. Upstairs you will discover a large open loft area that overlooks the kitchen and living room, this open loft features 3 queen size beds. There is a suspended walkway that leads to 2 more upstairs bedrooms, each with a queen size bed. These bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a shower over tub and dual sinks. Both of the upstairs bedrooms have a heat pump for individual heat and air conditioning as well as walk out balconies. These heat pumps are in addition to our central air conditioning and forced air heat. Walk out basement features our 4th bathroom with a stall shower. You will also find a commercial quality pool table and foosball table with lake views. We also have a bar and bar stools and a couch / loveseat and our 3rd ROKU TV down there; this space will continue to improve over time. Oversized 3 car garage has direct access to the home and there is additional parking in the large driveway. Home has 1 King bed, 5 Queen size beds, couch, recliner and a large sectional that allows us to sleep 12 comfortably and there is plenty of extra space to entertain and enjoy. You will want a car or truck that is appropriate for gravel roads, we are just under 3 miles from the blacktop of Highway 50. A 4x4 or all-wheel drive might be necessary in the winter months, however we do keep our driveway plowed when it snows. This amazing property is perfect for anyone wanting to get away, family gatherings, retreats, fishing, boating and golfing trips. The Tabor Recreational Area is only a 5-mile drive from our location, this lake access area has a primitive boat ramp and room to park multiple vehicles with boat trailers. There is also lake access that is much closer to the house, only a 3/4-mile drive or hike from our front door. This access has no boat dock or ramp, but you can park cars and trailers here, and launch stand up paddleboards, kayaks or canoes from this location. There are plenty of hiking trails to explore during the day and the night sky can be filled with bright stars. You will fall in love with this home and the peaceful location is nothing short of remarkable.

We are about 10 miles from the Gavins Point Boat Ramp, this is a great place to put in your boat and park a trailer. We are about 12 miles outside Yankton and all of the dining, shopping and other amenities you find in a small town. There are a handful of small country bars with beer, bar food, pool tables and live music that are as close as 6 miles from the log house. We are happy to send links to these establishments as well as our favorite spots from Yankton, just ask.

We don't do "auto booking" because we want to make sure the home is a match for your family. It is very important to us that you have a great time at the lodge. If you send a booking request, please tell us how many people are in your group, both adults and children, and let us know what brings you to Yankton. We advertise that we have room for up to 14 overnight guests, be sure to understand that this includes 1 king bed, 5 queen beds, a couch, sectional and recliner. If your group is more than 12 people, they will be sleeping on the couch, recliner or sectional. We have extra pillows, sheets and blankets as well as a Pack and Play crib.

We are very happy to reply quickly to your questions or special requests.

Please note: Property has an exterior camera at doorbell and exterior cameras on driveway and front of house.

July 4th Family vacation

Beautiful house and location! Perfect house for a large family. We sat on the back deck and were able to see fireworks across the lake! The property was fairly remote but just a short drive to nearby parks, beaches and boat ramp. We brought our own food and cooked meals at the house. The kitchen had everything you might need! Thanks for a memorable family vacation!!

Funeral gathering

Beautiful property! Very peaceful especially for us since we were celebrating the life of my dad who grew up in the area along with us kids. It was a great place to have us all together to reminisce and share our childhood memories (our farm/ranch was 3miles from cabin) our nieces, nephews and extended family. I appreciate giving my mom this memory. Loved the view and deck. Strongly recommend this home.

Wonderful!!

This property was everything and more. JD was super responsive, Karen, who manages the house, was also very responsive. The house was beautiful, from the minute you step in the front door to the view of the lake off the deck. We did all our cooking onsite and there were a good number of plug ins, large fridge and stove. Nice large table for eating and game playing. Lots of outside seating on the beautiful deck. Several minor issues that were dealt with super promptly. I can't say enough good about this property! We will definitely go back again!

Serenity Now!

Our family had a wonderful and most relaxing time at the Eldorado Lodge. To top it off JD & Lisa provide guests of the Eldorado with a lovely memento to remember time spent at the Eldorado Lodge. Who does that?! The views from the interior and exterior are amazing. We loved gathering in the evening on the deck soaking in the beauty and time spent together. The pool table, foosball and the corn hole toss were thoroughly enjoyed by ALL. Don't forget to bring a role of quarters for foosball. JD and Lisa provided us with excellent communication prior to our visit & throughout our stay. As a former teacher I would give the Eldorado and our hosts an A++!!!

Beautiful property

We stayed at Eldorado Lodge for our son’s wedding weekend. Although we didn’t have much time for leisure, the home was spacious and comfortable for our family of 8 with incredible views. The reason we gave only four stars for the location was because the home is almost three miles off the highway and the driveway gets progressively more rugged the closer you get to the lodge. With the significant rain this spring, washouts in the gravel road were also more significant. Otherwise, this property is a gem. We saw lots of animals, too. JD was an awesome and accommodating host. Quick to respond and helpful with any issues that arose. We greatly appreciated the flexibility with checking out the morning after the wedding!! If we’re ever back in the area, we would definitely consider a return trip to this property.

About the host

Hosted by Joseph Aasland

Host profile image
This property was new to VRBO in 2023, but it had been rented previously to family and friends. We are hands on hosts, and this is our only short-term rental, we respond quickly and care about the quality of your vacation. Our goal is to make sure you have a fabulous stay and hope that you look forward to coming back to stay with us again. Feel free to reach out with questions, we know it is hard to understand all of the details just from photos and descriptions. This is a very unique house and there are many exciting things to do on the property and in the area. Lewis and Clark Lake welcomes over 2 million visitors each year and once you have been there you will know why.

We have a great team in place to make sure you have a memorable vacation when you stay at The Eldorado Lodge. This includes our cleaners, handyman, plumber and HVAC professionals. We try to address any issues ASAP and are always available before and during your stay.

We hope that you and your family create wonderful memories that will last a lifetime during your stay at this special location. We can't imagine a better place to gather family and friends to relax, recharge and enjoy time together.

Why they chose this property

We are not aware of a similar property on Lewis and Clark Lake. We have amazing, unobstructed lake / sunset views from this property that must be seen in person. Our property is about 12 miles from Yankton, and you truly feel “away” from everything out here. We have an amazing variety of wildlife to enjoy: deer, turkeys, Bald Eagles, fox, coyotes, ducks and geese ETC. There are miles of walking trails and fruit trees on the property as well as places to sled in the winter. There is a primitive lake access area just below our property. From this location you can launch kayaks and canoes, skip rocks and fish from the shore. There is room to park a car or two, but no boat ramp or dock. This area is a short 3/4-mile hike or drive, on a gravel road, from the house. The Tabor Access area is about 5 miles away from the log house and there is a boat ramp, camping area and picnic tables at this location. This is a good place to launch a boat if you want to fish, waterski or pull an inner tube behind your boat. The Lewis and Clark Marina is about 9 miles away and features a full-service boat launch, restaurants, docks and gas station. There are plenty of options to get your family on the lake from our location.

What makes this property unique

Unique property with one of the best views on the lake. Located at the end of a private road with no neighbors you will truly feel away from it all. This is a custom-built log house and these huge timbers were all sourced in Canada, assembled there and put on trucks to be rebuilt on our foundation. There are no roads, or buildings between this house and the Lake. You are surrounded by nature, wildlife and tranquility.
