Our family has rented this house on 3 separate occasions over the past several years. The house is very pretty, spacious, well-furnished and appointed. Everything is in good condition, and the property works well for an informal family gathering consisting of mostly retirement-age folks. It is a good location and indeed has a very nice view. My family, in general, are quite pleased with the house and are happy to travel here. Having a town like Yankton nearby is also a plus, providing good retail and lovely city parks, etc. However, I tend to cast a more critical eye.
Some additional observations:
• The TV continues to be an ongoing source of puzzlement. Even the more tech-oriented younger types can barely get it operating. It took about an hour just to pull up a Monday night football game and the same for a Thursday night football game. If you have something important that you need to be watching, well, best wishes. Or maybe just watch it on your computer. The TV has behaved this way on all three of our visits.
• To repeat, the view from the spacious front deck is very nice, but the highway noise doesn’t die off until about 8pm.
• Despite attempts to regulate the house temperatures via the dual thermostats, the air conditioner (stubbornly) ran at nights to a temperature of 66 degrees. You could hang salmon in the basement and it would take a few weeks to spoil. If we cant override the programming t
