"We enjoyed our stay in Storm Lake even though the weather was temperamental. Cold & stormy for most of our stay but the house we stayed in was cozy & inviting. We lost power due to a storm coming through but it was restored fairly quickly. I appreciated Angie’s quick responses & helpfulness. The homemade banana bread was such a nice touch when we arrived. I would definitely stay there if we ever come through Storm Lake again"

"Family of 4 (parents in 50's, college age kid and highschooler, plus a 9 months old Golden Retriever) This cabin has to be one of the best appointed short term rental we've done. Everything needed for a week at the lake, and then some! Kitchen with all the appliances and cooking stuff one need. Really nice shower. The living room had a smart TV with apps we could use our login to watch the Olympics. In the master bedroom, we found floating vest for the pup, and even a full size crate tucked...

"I only got three days for my vacation this year and really wanted something different. This little cottage is truly a solitary getaway - and yet, in the midst of a working farm!! It is brand new and set up for every convenience. The sourdough bread and farm-fresh eggs were such a great extra and SO good!! We were blessed with a spectacular sunset (pretty sure that was not included in the extras) and the weather cooperated for a memorable stay. The roosters greeted the morning but were far...

"Quiet unit in a great location. Hosts were excellent and communicative. Would stay again!"

"Great location"

"The house has a very large open living room upstairs, plenty of bedrooms for us. The backyard is large, although most of it fairly steep slope towards the lake. The lake was up several feet when we stayed, so the beach in the photos was under water. Pella is a 7-8 minute drive away. Overall we liked the property."

"Completely met our expectations! Thanks for the stay. "

"The house was clean, comfortable, and had beautiful views right on the water. Kitchen was easy to use and had all the basics we needed. We found fun stores to poke around in and good places to eat in Clarion and Belmond. We also enjoyed the county park at the end of the lake. "

"This cute home was exactly like the photos in the listing! It was very welcoming, clean, and super cute! Location is great and it’s easy to get around Spirit Lake and super close to Okoboji attractions as well. Another plus about the location was how quiet our surroundings were and the view of the lake! Host responded quickly to any/all messages. Overall they did a great job of creating a fun and welcoming space. "

"Had everything you would need. Nice little kitchen."

"Very clean and comfortable! We enjoyed our stay."

"The property was exactly what we were looking for during our fall weekend gateway. We enjoyed the exceptional view of the Mississippi in the morning. And the hot tub at night. Great and easy communication with the property manager. We would come back again in a heart beat. "
