About this property

Waubay Retreat

Waubay Walleyes and Wings Retreat is located on the north end of Waubay Lake in northeastern South Dakota - in the heart of great walleye fishing and duck, goose, deer and pheasant hunting. It's also a great place to simply enjoy some time away!

On the main level you will find the master bedroom with a king size bed and private bath. Adjacent in the hallway is the second bedroom and bath. The main living area boasts large picture windows and access to the large deck. In the fully equipped kitchen you will find a large island to gather around and it is open to the living room with sectional sofa and a soaring ceiling. The loft area is enclosed and is spacious with 4 twin beds and 1 double.
In the lower level you will find a second large family room, bathroom, third bedroom (queen bed + set of bunk beds). There is a second refrigerator if needed as well as a deep freeze in the lower level utility room. The refrigerator is kept unplugged when not in use, feel free to plug in as needed. Exit out either set of sliding glass doors, enjoy the patio or saunter down the steps to the dock and the189' of shoreline.

The exterior of the home boasts a large yard for games and activities, firepit and gas grill. Enjoy the 38' x 10' deck overlooking the lake. There is also a fish/game cleaning room on site with heat.

Fishing trip w friends

Awesome property! We had 9 adults in our fishing group. Plenty of sleeping beds & bathrooms. Open main living, dining & kitchen space allowed plenty of room for all to be in same space. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking amenities. Priced appropriately. Would definitely recommend this vrbo to anyone.

Family fishing retreat

Came for the fishing, but the weather kept us indoors. The home had everything we needed to enjoy our time together even though we did not get to enjoy the lake/outdoors as much as we wanted. We have had a positive experience and would book this home again.
