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 hostess was very accommodating. My husband called her on three occasions with quesrions. Each time she clarified things for him quickly and very nicely even telling him she could come right over if he needed further assistance. Her Cottage House was very clean and nicely furnished. She provided three hide-s-beds, a beautiful washer and dryer, hair blower, nice electric stove, small microwave, ery clean refrigerator, private bedroom with a comfortable queen-sized bed. There were also plenty of extra pillows, sheets, and various top covers. I forgot to mention two very noce, big TV's. This little cottage home was very nicely set up, extreme clean, and has a beautiful view of the lake in the living room as C well as the bedroom.

Ok

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.
