We have a beautiful cabin/home overlooking the Big Sioux River and Klondike Falls. This area has been on KELO-land news showcasing the many Eagles whose habitat is directly in front of our home. No need for a fan for white noise here as you can relax on the deck and listen to the water rushing over the Klondike Dam below. Most of the interior has been constructed from reclaimed lumber from the 1900s but also with all the modern conveniences you'd expect. 3 bedroom, 2 baths - can sleep 8. Watch the bountiful wildlife and the seasons change on the Big Sioux River while listening to the water flowing over the Klondike Dam. This property is blessed to have Eagles as it's neighbors. It also has a large 7 person hot tub, to enjoy nature while staying nice and warm. The Great Room on the main level overlooks the Big Sioux River through 2 large windows and a sliding glass door to an expansive covered balcony. There is a large TV mounted on one wall. The kitchen cabinets were hand made for the home from reclaimed lumber but the granite countertops offer elegance as well. The main floor has a full kitchen, one bedroom and one full bathroom. It also has a cozy gas heater. The dining area has a large table for family card games, or just relaxing with your morning coffee looking out the large windows. There is also a hutch that opens to books, games, puzzles and an area to set your own computer if you need to put in a few hours of work. The lower level is a walkout with nine foot ceilings that gives it an open feel. There is two bedrooms, a bath, and a family room with another gas heater with remote thermostats. The entire lower level is completed in knotty pine with log style furniture to complement the rustic feel. It also offers a large TV, pull out queen sofa sleeper and an electric recliner to enjoy a little down time watching that football game or movies or finish that great novel. There is a large log table here also to play cards, complete crossword puzzles, or enjoy a few snacks. There is also a laundry room with Samsung washer and dryer. This level has a door which leads to a large covered patio, landscaped yard, Weber grill and the hot tub. The exterior to this home resembles a rustic cabin in the woods but is far from rustic once you enter the front door and see the modern amenities. It is within one block of the historical Klondike dam site which now is closed to traffic, but offers a large bridge to fish from. Kayaks also enter at this point for a beautiful experience down the Big Sioux River. Entire home and 2 car garage One day prior to your arrival, we will send you a code to enter the premises. Very rural. Great for hiking, fishing, kayaking, or visiting the local winery or Stensland Dairy operation. Golf courses nearby! Will need a car. Things to Do: This cabin is a perfect set up for staying in - relaxing, fishing, hiking, kayaking, bird and animal watching and spending quality time with those one loves. Yet it is also a perfect set up for going out. Within miles is the Grand Falls Casino, Canton wineries, the Canton Barn, Larchwood restaurants and bars, Golf courses and Lake Pahoja Recreation Area which is a great park for swimming, boating, paddle boarding, or playing Frisbee golf or basketball. Fishing - Iowa or SD fishing license Relaxing – you won’t need a sound machine or fan for white noise here. Just sleep with the windows open and hear the sound of the babbling waterfalls below. History The Klondike Mill was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2003, and given the #75000696. Little remains of the Klondike Mill except an old stone wall and a few artifacts from the historical structure. It is located on the Iowa side of the dam where a bridge spans the Big Sioux River, just beneath the public access parking area. Kayak or Canoe There is a loading/exiting area approx. one block from the house where one can take the scenic 3.5 mile ride to Canton or exit from the up-river trail from Sioux Falls. The Canton trek is rated as one of the best with steep canyon sidewalls. Bird-Animal watching Perfect area to just sit on the porch and watch. Bald Eagles and deer are a daily site in this area. In addition, there is a wealth of animal life on the waters of small South Dakota lakes, rivers, and creeks, including geese, ducks, pelicans, great blue heron, egrets, hawks, owls, perching birds, deer, raccoons, and beaver. Eagles, fox, and coyote are also sometimes spotted. Lake Pahoja Recreation Area 2.5 miles west on Highway 276 has something for everyone!
