≋ The Cottage at Sun Valley Lake ≋

Welcome to The Cottage at Sun Valley Lake, where unforgettable memories are waiting to be made! Our lake-front vacation rental in Southern Iowa offers the perfect retreat for your getaway. With 2 bedrooms plus a bunk room and 2 large bathrooms, we have the capacity to sleep 9 guests in this charming home that ensures a comfortable and relaxing stay.

Set on a generous lake-front lot, our vacation home features ample sun access throughout the day, whether you prefer lounging in the yard or on the 20x12 floating dock. The property is adorned with beautiful mature pine and deciduous trees, providing refreshing shade when needed. Positioned at the middle point of the lake on the main channel, you'll be treated to breathtaking views and a tranquil ambiance. The rental also includes two kayaks with universal-sized life vests, two paddle boards, and a lily pad, ensuring endless fun and relaxation in the warm summer waters, an under-deck screened patio with an outdoor TV, a grill, a Blackstone griddle, plenty of lounge chairs and a fire pit with camping chairs for cozy evening around the fire right at the water’s edge. Bring your bicycles! There are plenty of roads all around the lake for an enjoyable ride enjoying the quiet scenery.

Inside, you'll find an inviting open living room space, perfect for gathering with your loved ones. The cottage also boasts a fully equipped kitchen with bar seating for 5, allowing you to prepare delicious meals during your stay. The expansive screened deck is an absolute highlight, featuring a 10-person farmhouse table and cozy, comfortable outdoor sofa seating area where you can dine, relax, and enjoy the lake views. During the cooler seasons, cozy up by the wood stove for a warm and inviting atmosphere.

At the Cottage, we understand the importance of staying connected, which is why we included amenities such as WiFi, Live TV via Roku and all the streaming services that you can sign into directly with your own accounts, a DVD player, and a retro Wii gaming system for entertainment (this is actually one of the biggest indoor hits our guests love because it’s all about social games!)

For a secure yet convenient experience for our guests, our home features a unique-to-you digital code for entry access upon arrival. The code will be sent to you within a few days prior to your stay, guaranteeing a hassle-free check-in process.

Come and create cherished memories at The Cottage at Sun Valley Lake. Book your stay now for an unforgettable vacation in Southern Iowa!
