Our annual golf trip was a success in huge part to staying here. Plenty of room. We grilled steaks and had a fire overlooking the wonderful view. We would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you! Respectfully, South Dakota “Below Average” Golfers

There was plenty of bedrooms for every one! The kitchen/living area was beautiful! Great view of the water and walking distance to night life. Only down fall is that the property only has 2 bathrooms. We would definitely stay again!

Great place
I can see why this rental is booked solid during the summer months. Plenty of room for everyone and great location. We rented this for Christmas since we had extra family this year. Open area for us all to be together and everyone had their private rooms too. The lake wasn't frozen so the kids could watch the ducks. Would love to stay here during the summer to take advantage of the location and fun things to do. But it worked well for our family's Christmas too. Highly recommend.

We love this home
We always love staying at this home. It's the perfect location to walk to fun activities. And it holds our entire family very well, usually with room to spare. Unfortunately with it being perfect for larger families, it gets booked quickly and far out. I do wish it would be offered to past guests first, but I understand why it is not. It's in high demand, and for good reason :)

Good stay nice property. Kitchen & bath very well appointed. Bedrooms could use updating upstairs. I stayed in the 1st bedroom on the right & bed very lumpy & uncomfortable, my back still hurts. I’ve stayed in at least 7 VRBO & have never been asked to strip beds & wash towels.

Getaway on West Lake Okoboji
Beautiful location and easy access to this property with an accessible and friendly host! Large gathering area with fully stocked kitchen and long center Island made a functional and very accommodating family area. Bedrooms and basement sleeping area were adequate. Only 2 bathrooms are challenging for a large group. House is surprisingly quiet between floors which made sleeping easy! We had a wonderful weekend and made a lot of priceless memories !

Okoboji House
Wonderful house with 7 bedrooms. One bedroom has three bunk beds. Main part of the house has been updated and is awesome. Outstanding kitchen with everything you need. The two bathrooms are very nice and newly remodeled. The bedrooms are basic older cabin bedrooms but we didn’t spend any time in them except to sleep. Every room had its own air conditioning unit. . We worried a little about the dock being pretty old and springy but our family loved the fun water slide and fishing from the dock. We rented a boat one day and we were very thankful for the ability to dock it at the cabin. There is a large backyard with a big fire pit and a hammock. There are steep steps going down to the dock but there is a gate at the top for safety and lights. The location is amazing. We would love to go back and spend more time at the Okoboji house. We created wonderful memories there.

This is the second year my family has stayed at this property. It is perfect for a larger family. The parking is incredible. Love being on the water. Birdseye view of fireworks. We spent many hours on the deck or playing in the backyard. The fire pit is great! Many outdoor chairs and tables. We could walk to Arnolds Park, shopping, and restaurants/bars. Many bedrooms/beds.

Extremely nice lakeside house on West Okoboji. Walking distance to activities. The family enjoyed swimming, fishing and playing on the slide from the dock. Very handy to launch your boat from your own boat dock. Thanks.

Fantastic Home for family vacation
If your looking for a great place to vacation with a larger group of people or family with lots of kids this is it. With 6 rooms that all have AC we were all able to have our own rooms. This couldn’t be a more perfect spot right before on the lake and walking distance to two beaches and Arnold’s park! House is fully stocked with everything you need!

Family/Friends Okoboji Getaway!
This is our second year at this house and our 15th summer on the lake in Okoboji! A tradition we began when our kids were just babies! This house has all the things.. a dock for us to swim from, ample outdoor rec space for everyone, a dining room table that accommodated a great pre-Father’s Day meal, bedrooms for all of us to feel spaced out and walking distance to Arnold’s Park and our favorite coffee shop! Thank you again for an amazing week in your beautiful home! If there was a place for pictures I’d put them here for you to see and share!

The house is so nice and it’s within walking distance of restaurants and Arnold Park. We rented a pontoon from Okoboji Boatworks and it was just a 2 minute ride on the lake to pick up the family at the house’s dock. Great view, easy access to everything and it was so easy to work with the owners! We will DEFINITELY be back!! Thanks for a great stay, Shawn!
