About this property

Rustic Lake Waubay Hunter’s Base Camp • 3BR/2BA

Hunter’s Base Camp on Lake Waubay

**3BR • 2BA • Fireplace • Covered Outdoor Kitchen • 5 Miles to Webster**

Please Note:
This property does not include access to private hunting land. The Kells Kabin is lodging only. Guests are responsible for securing their own hunting locations and licenses prior to arrival.

Open exclusively during **South Dakota hunting season (October & November)**, The Kells Kabin is your comfortable, no-frills base camp after long days in the field.

This is not a luxury property. This is a clean, updated, rustic mobile home built for hunters who care more about early mornings than granite countertops.

Built for Hunting Groups
Located near Lake Waubay and just 5 miles from Webster, SD,

You’re close enough to town for convenience, but far enough to unwind.

The property sits on a parcel near other trailers and adjacent to Buster’s Last Resort — ideal if your group enjoys grabbing a drink or meeting up with others after a day in the field.

Sleeping Arrangements (Great for Groups)
✔ 3 Bedrooms
✔ 2 Full Bathrooms
✔ Comfortable primary bedroom
Plenty of room to spread out gear and get solid rest before the next early wake-up call.

After-the-Hunt Comfort
* Wood-burning fireplace for cold October nights
* Updated flooring and rustic finishes
* Large living area for telling stories and planning the next morning’s strategy
* Fully functional kitchen for hearty breakfasts and wild game dinners
This is the kind of place where boots sit by the door and coffee is brewing before sunrise.

Covered Outdoor Kitchen & Deck
One of the best features of the mobile home -
✔ Large covered deck
✔ Outdoor cooking space
✔ Room for coolers, gear, and gathering
✔ Protected space regardless of weather
Perfect for cleaning birds, grilling, and relaxing after sunset.

Bonus: Lake Waubay Location
If your group wants to mix in some fishing between hunts, Lake Waubay is known for excellent walleye, perch, and northern pike fishing.
