About this house rental
The Ho Hum East is a beautiful lake house with private dock on pristine Apple Canyon Lake! The house is named in honor of my grandparents who ran the Ho Hum Motel in Denison, Iowa :)
This is a place to unwind, de-stress, and have some family fun! The house features all brand new mattresses in 3 full bedrooms plus flex space; master bedroom with queen bed, guest bedroom with 1 queen and 1 twin, loft bedroom with 2 queens, pull out couch in living room, and 2 mini couches in the loft that pull out into twin beds. Large open living space that is great for entertaining, HUGE wrap around deck where you can enjoy amazing views of the lake, as well as a large backyard with gas grill.
Lake house charm with all the amenities you need to make a memorable weekend. Private dock is great for swimming or fishing. The house also has a stand up kayak that can be used, as well as fishing poles. Outdoor dining table and 2 fire pits, one by the dock and another closer to the house. This is a private lake so you're unable to bring your own boat, but there is boat rental available through the marina.

We had a fabulous few days in Apple Canyon Lake... wish we could have stayed longer. We stayed at this property years ago and it was great then but there have been many upgrades - esp to the outside - and it's even better. The lakefront area is huge and so convenient for everything - I love the steps into the water. Everything inside was comfortable and clean. Highly recommend.

We truly enjoyed spending Father's Day weekend at this lake house on Apple Canyon Lake. The property is tucked away and private with an expansive waterfront. The home is nicely updated while keeping a cozy lake house feel. The kitchen has a fun vintage style and is fully functional. The wood burning fireplace is beautiful and worked perfectly. The additional amenities of fishing poles and water toys were certainly appreciated. There is also a marina store within a 10-minute drive that has essentials you might need (food, bait, sweatshirts, etc.). Just a note, if there is something within the listing that is important to you, we'd suggest reaching out to make sure it is available. For example, the garage was unavailable when we arrived and the paddle boat was not in the water whereas those were mentioned in the listing or shown in the photos. These were not major issues for us but we'd suggest confirming all of your needs beforehand to make sure expectations are met. Overall, we would highly recommend staying at this home if you're looking for a peaceful getaway with multiple gathering areas to enjoy.

We had been at this the previous year and picked this specific property out due to its private dock and lake front since we have small grandchildren. There was no dock and no access to the lake from this property and the owner was unaware of this. He graciously let us use another dock but was not suitable for small children due to large rocks and slippery getting in and out for our grandchildren so very disappointed in that regard. I do not think that $500 per night should be charged since there was no lake access. That was the whole point of renting this specific property....have a dock with a ladder for small children to get in and out.
