Can anyone recommend a good sleeper house rental on Webster area lakes? My buds and I want to plan a trip for next year and we've never been to SD. Thanks.

Call Sportsman's Cove in Webster and talk to Doug. If his are rented out he would probably line you up with someone else. 605 345 2468 Very good guy to deal with.

We rented from ucanicefish.com a few years ago.. They were very accommodating as far as moving the house around where we wanted it which was appreciated. Bring your own pans and utensils though! We limped through the weekend with one pan and one spatula. Haha

I think 15+ by first week in January is going to be very possible with these temps
