Convenient and Adorable

My family and I stayed in Erin’s rental for a trip to Kings Pointe and Okoboji. It was perfect! The space was clean, checkin was simple, ample electrical outlets, and space to move around. The location was great, too. The local shops and restaurants within 1-5 minutes walking distance was such an added bonus.

Accessing the Wi-Fi was effortless, making it easy to stay connected throughout our visit. Additionally, the hostess was lovely and friendly, always available to assist us whenever needed, which made us feel truly welcomed. She was sweet and friendly when we needed her.

We loved the location and everything about this 3 bedroom stay! Beautifully furnished! Great space for us to hang out together with extended family we were visiting in town. Location is great for dining out, shopping or even a movie. All just steps away in this neat downtown area. A short drive to the lake and picnic areas. Excellent hosts! Will definitely go back in the future!

Perfect place

Stayed here for two days while working in town. Apartment fit my group perfectly. The location is about as good as you can get with restaurants and stores within walking distance. Place was clean and really well kept. Renters brother was doin some maintenance in the building below and was very friendly and helpful as well. Can’t think of one negative thing to say. Would 100 percent stay again.

We have stayed at several properties in Storm Lake, usually very near the water. This unit is downtown and a very different feel that we totally enjoyed. It is walking distance to the bakery, an excellent ice cream place, arguably the best Mexican food in the region, and a seasonal snow cone place. The windows in the unit are huge and extend across the living room, providing a great view. Lots of sky! We watched a big thunderstorm roll in one evening. The unit also has a roomy deck and was super clean and tidy. Host was very communicative and overall it was a wonderful experience. Will definitely stay here again.

I just want to say how much I appreciated Erin. I am embarrassed to admit that somehow in the chaos of my life, I booked the wrong days for my stay. Despite looking a few times, it did not occur to me until we were 40 minutes away (on the wrong night). We were going in to celebrate my kids 18th birthday who go to the local college. Erin and her husband went over at 10 pm to make sure the unit was ready for us. They did not need to do that and I appreciate it more than I can ever say. Our quick stay was great, place had a great living space for us to hang out in, beds comfortable. Decorated amazing and we appreciated the recommendations on where to eat.

A wonderful place!

The Lily Pad exceeded our already high expectations! The space was tastefully appointed, clean, extremely comfortable, and in a great location downtown. We loved the oversized windows that welcomed in a tremendous amount of natural light. The contemporary additions made our stay super comfortable while retaining the character of this historic building. There was ample seating throughout and multiple conversation and relaxation areas, not to mention a spacious back deck. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. And there was plenty of storage space. The modern kitchen was great to have for preparing family meals. Erin was a perfect host, kind and easy to communicate with. We hope to enjoy more time at the Lily Pad someday!

Remote work/home away from home

This property was the perfect solution for our family of 5 to get in an extended visit with family in Alta without cramming into hotel space or guest rooms. With high-speed internet, I was able to set up space for video conference calls for work and we all had plenty of space to spread out. I've used short term rentals extensively and this was one of the cleanest, nicest, and most thoughtfully stocked and appointed properties I've ever seen - from the ktichen, to the laundry room, to the bathroom and living spaces. Grocery, pharmacy, gym and restaurants all nearby and mostly in walking distance makes this an incredibly convenient location. With this first trip done as a proof of concept, we'll plan to come back for longer 1-2 weeks stays every year!

Perfect for families!

My family of six (including 4 kids ages 9, 11, 13, and 15) loved our stay here! Each kid had their own bed, and there was plenty of living space for our family to spread out. The whole space is stylishly decorated and has lots of gorgeous natural light thanks to all of the giant windows. It is a renovated historic building, but the owners kept many of the original cabinets and built-ins along with some of those old-building quirks. We appreciated the comfy new mattresses, nice linens, plenty of fluffy towels and all of the soft blankets and throw pillows. It really was a perfect space for a lot of people to hang out! The location is ideal, with easy parking. We took advantage of being so close to a coffee shop, donut shop, ice cream shop, and pharmacy. The host, Erin, left a great list of places to visit in town and responded quickly to our texts. One thing to note is that the apartment is accessed via a very long, steep set of stairs. It wasn’t an issue for our family, but people with mobility restrictions should take note.
