The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare large family meals. The dining room has seating for 10+ with a table for 8 in the breakfast porch! (kids table anyone?)

Beautiful house

We were actually in town for my husband's father's funeral. This house made things easier as we could all be together. The kids loved the room with bunks and games. The adults enjoyed having rooms to spread out in. The kitchen is wonderful and well supplied. Everyone agreed that we want to come back.

Spacious

We hosted a generation family gathering for an 80th birthday party for our mama and grandmother. We were all impressed with the layout, the bedrooms, the kitchen and the attention to our needs from the host. We look forward to returning for our next family gathering

Great place for large group

Ten of my university students who were in Storm Lake for a week-long field experience in the school district stayed at this home and they LOVED the space. Very comfortable, a lot of different spaces for the whole group as well as separate areas for alone time. Lots of TVs were a bonus, as well as options for sleeping arrangements. Plenty of accessible parking, and good location close to the lake, downtown, and schools. Gorgeous home and great host!
