Birthday weekend getaway

Great cozy little place right on the water and only a few steps away from the state park. The pizza farm nearby was awesome too!

Enjoyed our stay

My family and I rented both houses right next to each other. The set up was nice as one of the houses had a nice back deck overlooking the lake with plenty of room to hang out and enjoy the outdoors. The host was great and even brought us some fresh vegetables one afternoon from his garden. We really enjoyed our stay.

Excellent

Cabin was perfect for what we were looking for over the weekend. It was also very well stocked with necessities, was clean, comfortable and we loved the deck and lake views. We had friends staying at Kamp Dels so this arrangement worked perfectly for us.

Great place for a getaway

We wanted to get away for a couple of days. The cabin was great, quiet and clean. We enjoyed the area and would love to go back again.

The cabin itself was very nice. A cute get away for a couple. The surrounding resort left a little to be desired. Many run down campers.

Our family had a wonderful stay at this cabin. We enjoyed the view over looking the lake, campfires at night, and kayaking during the day. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The cabin was cozy and clean and the bed was very comfortable. Hoping to go back next summer.

Amazing- Relaxing

My husband and I needed a quick get away with our 2 dogs. It was perfect. We rented the pontoon for 2 days, spending days out on the water swimming and fishing. The owner was so receptive to our needs, he went above and beyond.

Everything was very good with the property except the futon that I had to sleep on was in need of a new mattress. We wanted to fish off the dock but there was too much seaweed but we made other arrangements.

Nice Cozey Cabin With Lots to do.

The cabin was great! It was decorated really nice and was layed out really well. It worked perfect for my wife and I. It was right on the lake so we could dock our boat for fishing and walk right out of the cabin to the dock. We fished in the boat on the first day and on the second day it was too windy and cold to take the boat out so we were able to access the state park trail right from the resort and spend the day hiking the state park. That evening we took a short walk to town and had Mexican for supper. Darrell was a great host and gave us all the information we needed to have a good time. We plan on going back again.

Nature at its best

This quaint, cozy, country cabin was more perfect than I could imagine; my duck hunting husband would have loved it, too. My niece (a nature photographer) and I spent our mornings glassing all the birds (egrets, ducks, heron, pelicans and more) on the water while hummingbirds, robins, and others fluttered nearby. The nearby trail was easy access, as was a coffee house, downtown of Waterville and grocery. Daryl was a delightful, kind host who checked on our every need. I hope an opportunity arises for me to return to his rental. Don’t forget your binoculars for this lovely, surprisingly quiet location.

Cuckoo about Coo Coo's Nest

This is a small, charming cabin of recent construction. The interior is rustic in a sophisticated manner, if that makes sense. The lakefront view is terrific, and the kitchen is great. There are charcoal and gas grills available for use, with appropriate utensils. Once I got the Wi-Fi password, the internet connectivity was excellent. (I would recommend finding out the password ahead of time, which I neglected to do.) The property manager came to welcome us and give us entry information. The small town of Waterville (population about 1,500) is surprisingly cosmopolitan: although the only restaurant serves Mexican cuisine, it was first-rate Mexican food, rivalling anything I've had in much larger cities; and the local grocery store is well stocked, and offers locally made bacon, bratwurst and other meats that we found delicious. Be sure you have a streaming account with a TV provider -- Hulu or the like; we don't. All-in-all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful views from private deck.

We really enjoyed this cabin on Lake Sakatah! The deck was private and the views were nice. The deck is where we spent most of our waking hours. Everything was great and nicely decorated. There is about a two inch difference in the stone part of the deck and the wooden part. This proved to be dangerous as I literally tripped over it and fell face first. Just a bloody nose and my glasses cut my eye in a couple places but still managed to enjoy our time at the Family Cabin. I would suggest some yellow caution tape for awareness for future visitors. The price was right and the dog friendly option was perfect for us. Thank you. We don’t ever like saying anything even a little negative but this was a scary moment for me and a bit embarrassing. The gas fire pit was lovely as were all the furnishings. We WOULD book again.

Not a good stay. Got my pontoon reservation refunded.

My check in time was three in the afternoon and I arrived around nine which was just fine. In the middle of the night I got up to go to the bathroom. I noticed someone was peeking in to the window with a flashlight, which didn’t set very well with me. After not sleeping after that, I woke up in the morning to go fishing. I had reserve and rented the pontoon boat For myself to take out onto the lake so I could use it to go fishing. It was not ready. I did get in contact with the host who told me that he was going to try to get a hold of someone who could get the boat ready. I was ready to go fishing at 6:30 in the morning and it was 10 o’clock and the boat was still not ready. As I was waiting, I went into use the bathroom just to find out that the toilet was plugged up. My overall was not I was hoping or expecting. I was only there for 12 hours. I contacted the host and asked for a refund. I didn’t even mind paying for one day. I was only returned my money on the pontoon boat that I never had the opportunity to use anyway. I would give communication a three on a scale from one to 10 The property I will say was just like the picture showed and was a nice little set up. Unfortunately, after all of those events, I’m extremely disappointed and not getting more of my money back and things weren’t ready to go. I drove from Iowa to Minnesota just to drive back to Iowa.
