2 Bedroom House in Ellston

2 bedroom 2 bathroom waterfront home sleeps 8. Located just 1 hour and 15 minutes south of Des Moines in Ellston, IA. Full kitchen with breakfast bar has everything you need for a nice stay. Screened in porch to relax and large outdoor patio gives enough space for your family get away. Jump out on the lily pad, take a spin in one of the kayaks, or hop on the stand up paddle board. Enjoy the firepit with provided wood overlooking the lake after spending the day in the water and experience the dark sky full of stars that will take your breath away. There is a playground with beach area along with a 9 hole golf course just minutes away. The Clubhouse is open with a full menu and bar (check seasonal hours on their Facebook page).
We rent our home only when we cannot personally be there as our kids baseball and softball schedules keep us away a certain number of weekends during the summer. This is an older home, far from brand new, but lots of outdoor & deck area to enjoy a quick getaway to the lake without having to travel far. Very quiet in rural southern Iowa surrounded by farmland.
*No fishing per HOA Rules & no personal boats can be brought in. Renters will pay all fines if caught fishing. No usage of our pontoon boat located in our boat slip.
*No Pets-Unless service animals
*No Parties or Fireworks. Please respect our neighbors and lake rules. Must be 24 years old to rent.
*Check in at 4pm & Check out at 11am but will work with each guest if a change is needed. This is not always available
