About the host

Hosted by Joanne Tucker

Host profile image
My husband and I have lived in Storm Lake for over 30 years. We enjoy all water sports, especially sailing. We also love to travel. Hosting guests in our guesthouse is something we really enjoy. We want people to feel comfortable and like this is their “home away from home”.

Why they chose this property

The best feature of our guesthouse is the front porch. Ada’s Guesthouse is on historic Lake Avenue and there are views of the lake from the front porch. The house was built in 1910 and we have included some vintage furniture to keep the old world feel. But the bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry rooms are all new. There is a big yard to enjoy, too. The location is fantastic! Close to the lake, parks and bike/walking trail, downtown, and Buena Vista University. So many reasons to enjoy your stay!

What makes this property unique

Ada’s Guesthouse is unique in its location, updated facilities, generous amenities, and character. You won’t be disappointed!
