Beautiful, private little beach cottage across the street from the lake. Awesome lake views from the living room and bedroom. Watch the pelicans swim this area all day and night!

Small home with a nice view of the lake.
We didn't spend too much time at the property, since we were there visiting family. The furnace was constantly kicking on and off and it was quite loud. The bathroom could of been cleaner. Whiskers around the sink and in the tub. And some other cleanlines things I won't get in to.

HOCO stay
So glad to have a place close to campus that could accommodate our needs. It was nice to be within walking distance of campus so we did not have to find parking for the game and to visit my kids. The price was right and the view of the lake was lovely. Having a washer/dryer ended up being necessary. The banana bread was lovely touch and much appreciated. Thank you for being our the accommodations!

Wonderful home on Storm Lake in Iowa.
We stayed at this property during a 1 day family gathering in Storm Lake. The property was extremely clean and has a wonderful view out the living room windows. During our stay the temperature was over 90 and our only issue of note is that the older air handler cooled the home but made a tremendously loud sound while cooling and sleeping well was difficult. Loved the Storm Lake area!!

What a fun little lake cottage! Right across from Storm Lake and close to town. We were only there overnight but thoroughly enjoyed it! The kitchen was well stocked, spacious bathroom and comfortable bed! We were graced with yummy homemade cookies! Wish we could have spent more time there! Very gracious and responsive host!

We wanted to get away for a few days and choose this place. My husband likes to fish and he was happy with his fishing from shore. Angie the owner was very accomodating. Even left cookies off for us!
