Hummingbird House: Sleeps 20 Relax and Connect in a Large Private Lakefront Home

10/10 Excellent

"Hummingbird House was a wonderful place to stay. It was perfect for our college roommate reunion. Very clean and lots of room to hang out and sleep. The chairs down by the lake were great. Jill was very responsive and the check in and check out instructions were clear. We will definitely be back!"

Spacious living captivating views overlooking the lake. With AC and Wi-Fi.

10/10 Excellent

"This host was great to work with! We were coming into town a little earlier than expected (and actual check in time) and our host was very accommodating she we requested earlier access to be able to drop things off and get food in the fridge so we could go about our day. The entire place was very home like and our kids loved that there were magnatiles and toys to play with away from home. The mattresses were very comfy too!"

Budget Inn Motel Storm Lake

8/10 Good

"Room was good. Bed was comfortable. Could use some updates and the outside needs an overhaul. With the prices they charge the budget for overhaul is probably non existent. The room was clean and everything worked as expected. Restaurants within walking distance and parking right outside the room. Would stay again."

Beach Home on Storm Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Location, location, location. This place has a beautiful view of the lake with tons of windows facing the water, outdoor seating and pier access. The inside has large gathering area and seating and plenty of beds. I think the only downside is only 1 shower, but for what you get for the price it's a minor issue. Loved the place. Would stay again. Appreciate the great communication with the host."
