Week in Storm lake

Dan was amazing with communication and the overall space was mostly as described. Positives: The place is right across the street from the water park and walking distance from a really nice park. The place is very large with plenty of space to spread out. The desk is very large with speakers, lights and firepit. Great for adults after the kids went to bed. The kitchen was fully stocked and we didn't have any issues finding what we needed. Negatives: The place is more outdated than we expected. One bathroom is the utility closet. The main road outside is way busier than we expected making the large bedroom very noisy at all times of the day. The desk is rough and several of us got splitters. Wear shoes.

Great little getaway

We found Storm Lake as a meeting spot between the Twin Cities and Omaha. Our 2 families spent the weekend at the beach and waterpark and this home was in the perfect spot for both. Great weekend!

Home to Storm Lake

Great house and lovely patio for large group to socialize. Right across the street from kings Pointe where the kids had a great time!! The Regatta restaurant there was also very good and handy. Lots of supplies in kitchen such as spices, coffee, condiments in fridge, lots of towels. All was great… only negative might be no washer/dryer. We had a short stay so it wasn’t really necessary.

All is well

Our group was a little to big for this place. Open space was good for hanging out. Not the most comfortable couches/futon. The deck was a great spot for late evening lounging. Very good location for Storm Lake. Really enjoyed our selection of activities.

Great place to stay

The location was great. We were right next to the water park, the beach, coffee shop, and ice cream shop. A lot of space for everyone especially for a two year old to run around in. Great space outside for grilling and a gas firepit. The property manager quickly answered text on where extra supplies were located and how to unlock the door when I was have trouble with it.

Smaller than the original posting

The property was great, close to a water park and a large lake, the only draw back, when I originally booked this home it said there was a downstairs with recreational game s, this was suppose to be a gathering for a family wedding. Once I arrived and found out we only had 1 level we had to change our plans... We did enjoy our stay, just wish the booking matched what we ended up getting.

Kings Pointe!

We enjoyed the VRBO and it’s location in Storm Lake. Many memories were made on the huge deck and outdoor bar area. Kings Pointe and the mini golf course game were great. The ice cream shop in the strip mall below the VRBO was delicious. I’d recommend this host and location!

About the host

Hosted by Dan Heitman

Host profile image
Hi we are Dan and Christy Heitman, the owners of Four Pines Lodge. Both of us are chiropractors, and have had a private practice in Storm Lake since the late 1990's. We raised our 3 children in this home for the first 12 years. Then it was used as a traditional long term rental. When the last tenant moved out we decided the place needed an update to the interior and when it was finished we realized what a great location this would be for a vacation rental. And so we decided to use it as just that. That's not to say we still don't enjoy the home ourselves. In fact the photo above is of an outdoor football party with friends. We are BIG football fans. So far the guest have absolutely loved the accommodation and we could not be prouder of this beautiful getaway set in beautiful Storm Lake. This winter we look forward to meeting a lot of ice fishermen and women. The past few years Storm Lake has become a destination lake for ice fishing. So that's all for now, hope to meet some new faces this winter. Thanks, the Heitman's!

Why they chose this property

Location! Location! Location! This property is in the middle of every thing that's outdoor and fun on the east side of Storm Lake. EVERYTHING is within walking distance. There is Mini golf and a 9 hole golf course, bike rentals, indoor/outdoor water park, an awesome play ground for the kids, a sand beach, boat dock at the resort across the street plus there restaurant and bar are right there too.

What makes this property unique

This is a stand alone building in a commercial area. There is a 7 car parking lot to hold your vehicles and boats.
