Cozy cabin home on beautiful, shady, tree filled lot on private North Lake Drive of Lake Kampeska.

There are three large parks and bike trails encircling the lake. Bike trail access is across the road going by the property.

South Dakota is famous for it's fishing and hunting. You can fish on the many nearby lakes for walleye, pike, and bass. Pheasants are heard daily from the property and duck, goose, and deer hunting are popular in the fall.

Sleeping with the windows open.
The facility was fine. Excellent upstair bedroom arrangement for family with kids. Parking was good. Dock was good. Furnishings were good. My only and major complaint is that the evenings and nights were so pleasant that I wanted to sleep with the windows open. Somewhere, relatively close to the east, a dog barked ALL NIGHT LONG! If I wanted to spend the evenings/nights with windows closed and air conditioning running, I would have stayed in Texas. Not fair to the hosts, I know.

Great place!
The property/house was perfect for our family vacation. The dock to the lake was a kiddo favorite for swimming and fishing. The owner was great at communicating with house details. We’d definitely go back again!!

The rental house was just what we wanted to relax by the lake. Everyone liked the casual feel of the house.
