Set
in the heart of the Iowa Great Lakes Region, our vacation home awaits your
family’s arrival. Our home, which
we remodeled in 2005, is a very comfortable 5 bedroom/4 bath home (approx. 3000
sf) and can accommodate up to 12-16 people in beds as further described below.
It’s perfect for multiple-family vacations or family reunions. It is located
on a 118 foot wide lot overlooking Prime-season (June through August) our home is available on a weekly-basis only. Weekly prime-season rents vary between $4000 - $5250. Premium rates apply for Holiday periods. For this rent you get the use of the house, the dock and the boat hoists (pretty much everything but the summer car we leave in the garage!)

addition to rent, you would be charged a $250 Booking/Management fee and I
require a $750 Security Deposit that will be returned to you after you leave the
house in proper condition. If
you pay via MasterCard/Visa or PayPal I will need to impose a 3% surcharge on
the amount paid.

to the 4th bedroom is a enclosed three-season porch with a couch and two chairs
that is perfect for card games or quiet reading.
There is also a small office upstairs with internet access and a printer. The
ground-floor spaces are large family spaces including the kitchen-family room
and formal living-dining room areas. The kitchen has granite
countertops and is fully equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, oven,
range, toaster, blender, ice-maker and dishwasher.
There are three counter-stools where you can sit at an island in the
kitchen. There is also a natural gas
BBQ built into the side of the house available for your use. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, silverware, dishes
and glasses. Rental of our home
includes use of the linens and towels you will need during your stay. The kitchen table seats six and can seat up to ten with the addition of two table
leaves. The
family room is adjacent to the kitchen and has a 42”
plasma TV, DVD, VCR, Stereo and fireplace. The
living room/formal dining room also faces the lake and has a table that seats
eight people at a square table. The
living room and family room surround a “greenhouse-style” sunroom that juts
out from the house closest to the lake. It’s
a great place to sit in the morning with coffee as we get a lot of morning sun
due to the North-East orientation. We finished off the basement in 2007 so it's now carpeted and very comfortable. We have an L-shaped sectional sofa in the basement and a flat-panel TV/DVD. There's also a pool table and a poker table with six chairs. The
sunroom opens out onto a large deck that looks out on the lake and has outdoor
furniture on it in the summer. At
the base of the deck is a flagstone path that leads to the stairway down to the
lake. The stairway leading down to
the dock has 33 steps and about two-thirds of the way down there is a small
sitting area that looks out on the lake. We
repainted the entire inside of the house and installed hardwood flooring when we
remodeled the house in the winter of 2005. Our
home is completely winterized and has air-conditioning. Our
dock is 96 feet long with an oversized 20’x 20’ sitting area at the end.
There is plenty of sitting room at the end of dock as we have a seven
foot long bench and four “ We
have a number of boat hoists that will be available for your use - providing you
let me know that you'll need the hoists so we can make sure they're setup and
ready to go - including: 1. A 5000 pound hoist that we use with our 21 ½ foot inboard ski boat and before that with our 22 ½ foot inboard/outboard. 2.
An 8000 pound hoist that we use with our 29 foot inboard/outboard. 3.
Two jetski hoists, and 4.
Two kayak hoists. There
is no smoking or pets allowed in our house. INFORMATION For more information and to check on rates and availability please contact the owner - Bob Spears - via: Email: bcs@bcspears.com or Phone: (858) 759-7939 |
