This place right on Lake Tetonka was the perfect location to catch up with old friends. We could kayak right from the cabin and Lake Sakatah State Park was right next door with a beautiful bike trail. The house was clean, comfortable, and had a great view of the lake.

Tetonka Lake Stay
The dishwasher did not work, nor did the boat lift. The property has 4 cameras that are motion activated. There is no real privacy when you stay at this VRBO. The owner saw that a storm was coming and texted me. He saw that the boat lift did not work and texted me that he would have to fix it. He texted me hours before our arrival and said the dishwasher did not work and when I replied that this was not very professional for a premium listed VRBO, he texted me 30 minutes before our arrival that had the dishwasher replaced. The"new" dishwasher did not work either during our 5 day stay leaving dirty water in the base of the washer and detergent tabs that never disolved. This is supposedly a premium property and we paid a premium price to stay there. We would not recommend this property.

Family Summer Retreat
We enjoyed our family time celebrating summer, birthday and an upcoming retirement! The large yard was perfect for all the littles to run with no bugs or mosquitoes to ruin the fun. The spacious house had all the amenities we needed plus games and some water toys. Unfortunately the algae on the water came in and was a bummer for swimming or dangling feet off the dock. We still watched the geese and boaters and had a bonfire several nights. Rented a pontoon for a day from a nearby marina and did get out on it to enjoy the beautiful lake. We all throughly enjoyed the lake home!

Exceptional
Lovely large yard with a great view of the lake. Great outdoor seating under cover. We watched pelicans, tanagers, and orioles fly across the lake and flutter through the yard while the children played on the shore. The owners have put great care into every detail and the home is spacious and comfortable. We loved our stay here and hiking at Sakatah State Park nearby. Thank you!
