About this property

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!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Angie Snyder

Host profile image
We are Storm Lake natives and enjoy our community. We love welcoming newcomers and visitors to our town and showing them the best we have to offer. We love to travel and appreciate gracious hosts who accommodate our needs. This little house is such a gem, being the only one on the whole block it feels like you have your own private lake!

Why they chose this property

We love the quietness of this area, we enjoy the pelicans and occasionally swans swimming and eating outside the windows. It's so fun to watch the walkers, cyclist and dog-walkers stroll past along the lake.

What makes this property unique

Small house but efficient use of space with 3 different sleeping areas. Love the location and the views and access to the water!
