About this property

Amazing home near lake, parks, shopping and BVU! Perfect for summer vacation!

Perfect location for your next family vacation or get together in Storm Lake. Our home sits across the street from Chatauqua park and lake. Amazing views!

Outside there is ample lawn space for games, bonfire or simply enjoying the views. Parking available on the property can accommodate 8+ vehicles.

The main level includes a full stocked kitchen with everything you'd need to cook and host family meals! I have a love for entertaining and have everything you'll need. Don’t miss the heated kitchen and bathroom floors!

The dining room table extends to seat 12 guests and 3 seats at the bar. For additional seating we have a large round oak table in the sunroom that extends to seat 8+. (kids table!)

The living area has two beautiful leather couches and additional seats for larger groups to enjoy catching up or watching movies on the 65" television. There is a wood fireplace in the living room and a gas fireplace on the opposite side facing the sunroom.

All bedrooms are on the 2nd level and include a king bedroom, 2 queen bedrooms and a kids room with bunk beds.

Great experience

We were in town due to the passing of a loved one. Host was very accommodating for our fairly last minute booking. Home was lovely and had everything we needed, which allowed our immediate family to spend some much needed time together in one place. We would definitely stay here again.

Family holiday gathering

Wonderful. Everything there at home that we possibly could need for our family gathering! Beds comfortable. Everyone commented on how great the home was. Very homey feel. Loved the wood burning fireplace and weather even nice enough to enjoy the outdoor firepit one day! Will be booking again!

Storm Lake Reunion

We were in town for a reunion at the Storm Lake Resort and we had a group of 9, including 2 infants. There was everything we needed at the house and only a mile from the Resort, a great location.

Nostalgic venue for a weekend with old friends

This is a very lovely, cozy, old house (built in 1925) with lots of character and charm. The builder's legacy boasts superior craftsmanship with numerous unique features found in this well-built home, along with a great view of Storm Lake and the surrounding park area. We enjoyed our stay and loved the old house with updated amenities.

College Reunion and Celebration

Five of my forever besties stayed at this property. The home was perfect for our stay. We were in town to celebrate the 40th anniversary of our winning a national softball championship. The property had beautiful outdoor space for our teammates to gather for a bon fire and to enjoy each other’s company. We will be back!! Thank you!!!

Great House & Location

Absolutely loved the house & have booked for another stay! Property was very clean, warm and welcoming. Was a unique house with old & new home feels. Beds were comfortable, and kitchen was well stocked. Property manager was great and readily available for any questions we had. The location was right across from the park & lake, as well as being close to waterpark, BVU stadium and downtown Storm Lake.

“Home away from home” weekend

We visited our college student for the weekend & this was truly a home away from home for all of us. The home was immaculate, in a great location right across the street from the lake, lots of walking trails & playgrounds, and within walking distance to the college. The home is well stocked for several people with plenty of linens, blankets, pillows, towels, dishes, etc. W/D in the home, as well as an incredibly well stocked kitchen! Making home cooked meals has never been easier in a rental- when we didn’t have an item we needed, one was brought to us by the owner within 30 minutes. All the extras were thought of & this made for a seamless stay. We hope to return. Truly a 10/10 rental! Thank you.
