Beautiful Lakehouse with private dock on Apple Canyon Lake!

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.

Excellent place to stay
We really enjoyed this very clean house. Kids and I loved playing in the water none stop. Went to the pool one day and all were happy with the diving board. Nice evening sitting by the water with a fire going. Thank you for a great time.

This place was perfect for our getaway! Property manager was amazing, explained everything, checked on how our stay was, the house was so clean, everything was very well stocked, and let’s not forget the amazing views of the lake and the amazing patio on the lake!

ACL House
We had a great time at the ACL house. The house was beautiful; we were able to house all of our family easily. The dock and shoreline were nice. We were able to use existing water toys and our own easily.

Overall great property and house!
The house and property were great! The only thing was there was construction going on in the yard by the lake. The property manager was quick to answer our concerns and did refund us for the two hours we couldn’t use the lake access due to the construction. Overall a really great house and property!

Beautiful home on Apple Canyon Lake
The house was in a great spot for us as we have family with a home at Apple Canyon but they couldn’t accommodate all the relatives , we were only 6 minutes away from them so easy to go back and forth. Nice quite part of the lake. The house was well equipped and they had many water toys to use. The girls enjoyed the paddle board . It was nice swimming off the pier . When we were there it was extremely hot and humid and the only complaint would be the bedroom in the loft gets really hot . They did provide fans which helped. They were having landscaping done but it didn’t affect our stay. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the deck. They had a nice information board in the house with everything we needed to know .

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.
