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.
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.

The location was great. The bathroom wasn’t super clean. The bed was missing a pillow case. There was no bath mat for the shower because we saw later both were wet in washer from previous guest. We struggled to open the front door and after 9.5 hours of driving we were not excited about not being able to get in.

Cozy Beach Cottage

We enjoyed our stay in Storm Lake even though the weather was temperamental. Cold & stormy for most of our stay but the house we stayed in was cozy & inviting. We lost power due to a storm coming through but it was restored fairly quickly. I appreciated Angie’s quick responses & helpfulness. The homemade banana bread was such a nice touch when we arrived. I would definitely stay there if we ever come through Storm Lake again

Pleasant Stay

Check in was easy. I did have to ask the host about the code once but it was a me problem not holding the knob right. She was quick to respond and troubleshoot. Location is lovely and the space worked well for our stay. The kitchen was well supplied, the internet worked great, and the bed was comfy.

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!
