    Tons of room and much more home like then a hotel, space for the kids and the bunk house was great for movies and darts! Can’t beat being able to cook your own food and not have to go out to eat. Cost was comparable to hotels in the area maybe a tad higher, but again not having to eat out saved us way more. We already booked our next stay. Thank you!

    There was a misunderstanding about the number of bathrooms in our original reservation. The owners worked with us to put us in a location with ample bathrooms. Where we stayed was excellent, likely will stay there again if back in area.

    Great location, place is nice and clean, great patio area and firepit for hang out. Will return in the future. Only downfall is the bathroom. Wished there was better coverage to the shower to prevent water from leak out.

    I have rented this property for 3 years in a row. It suits me, my kid and my friends very well for our annual fishing trip to Devils Lake. It's easy to find, got plenty of room for parking boats and pick ups. Overall it's a nice place. If you need anything, the owners are responsive and easily accessible through a quick text. The only thing we missed this year was a grill, that we had enjoyed the previous years.

    We had a group of 7 for 3 nights. This is in a good location to get to town and various launches. It had everything we needed and the outdoor space worked well for a group fish fry.

    Nice fully stocked for a fishing adventure. Even a small Blackstone grill for our ease of cooking. The small cabin stayed very warm as provided a wonderful hangout spot. Loved the additional space instead of a hotel that also saved on expenses. Will be returning at some point. Nice work Hovde properties!!
