Cozy Beach Cottage. Great lake views. Lake access! Sleeps 6 efficiently.

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! Full public access and park directly across the street. Toss a fishing line in the water and see if you can catch a big walleye. Enjoy a day at King's Pointe Waterpark or on the bike path riding along the shores of Storm Lake. Space in the yard for a tent or two if you want even more space. Queen bed in the bedroom, queen pullout in the entry and another in the living room, sleep 6. One additional couch could sleep another. There is an eat-in kitchen that seats 3 and a good sized living room. This is suitable for 6 if you plan to spend time outdoors or doing activities, not all staying in the house during the day. Guests are welcome to bring a pet however we do charge a $150 cleaning fee for this amenity. Be sure your pet is on your reservation!
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Our stay at this cottage was very convenient to Storm Lake and it was clean. The host was accessible if we would have needed her. I would recommend this place if you just want to spend some time alone or if you have some busy lake days and just want to go back to your place and enjoy peace and quiet!
