Lakeshore Legacy - Cozy 4 Bedroom on BlueDog Lake - Great for Families & Friends

10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing time in Waubay. We had a little hiccup with check in but were able to get everything figured out very quickly. The house was perfect for our family of 5. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and we were able to prep and eat all our meals for our entire stay. The grill and deck were great. Our whole family (5) plus in-laws (2) were able to gather around the spacious dinning room table for our meals. Having a washer and dryer makes a big difference for our active, adventurous, outside family. Being lakeside was amazing and we spent a decent amount of time in the backyard and on the lake. Great fishing opportunities in every direction with so many surrounding lakes. So many extra perks like DVD's, puzzles and yard games. Loved that it was within walking distance of the Purple Cow Ice Cream shop :) Would highly recommend staying here and we plan to return!"
