Rual Countryside Getaway

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Kade’s place is nestled in tranquil farm country. It was incredibly peaceful and the pond was beautiful. The house is spacious with comfortable places to talk and relax. I really loved the incredible stonework in the downstairs space. Great place to getaway with family or friends!

Lake front 4 bedroom home with private dock

JessicaRating, 5 stars8 months ago
10 out of 10! I will be staying here again during our next Okoboji trip. The home is so spacious, has literally anything and everything that you could need. The beds and linens were perfection (in fact I bought the comforter online while we were there). The extra parking across the street was perfect to park our truck and trailer since we brought our boat. And the VIEW!!!! I can’t say enough good things about this home and we look forward to staying here again 😁

House on the lake near downtown

KylaRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Michaela was friendly, helpful, and very responsive. We mentioned there weren’t many pots/pans and in a few hours there were a whole new set! The house is very clean, quirky in a fun way, and the lake setting with giant fire-pit was so relaxing. The bed upstairs is super comfortable. Note, there are three beds. Two downstairs are single. It worked out great for us. The house is one of the most fun, well stocked, comfy places we’ve stayed. And Michaela is a really gracious host. Easy to talk with. We loved our stay.

Cozy Lakeside Cottage for Families and Fun Seekers

HunterRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The home was very clean and kid friendly. We enjoyed the board games and outdoor toys available. The kids had a great time and it was easy to manage a 5 and 3 year old within the house. Bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen and living room were spotless and had everything you would need to enjoy evenings after the zoo or any other activities. Will stay again if we come back to the area

Sunny Cottage: FirePit, by Prairie & Wooded Trails

AndrewRating, 5 stars8 months ago
This is a beautiful home with all amenities as described. It’s a bit of a walk into town but otherwise fine. Love the fact Alexa everywhere which was useful for music and timings. We have 2 grown up kids, so 4 adults and 1 bathroom was a stretch at times. Mellisa answered my queries almost instantly. Thoroughly recommend a stay here !!

Boji Bungalow

AbraRating, 5 stars8 months ago
My family of 5 had an amazing time at Brandon's Boji Bungalow! The home matched the description, and was even better in person. The beds were so comfortable. Each of the kids raved about how much they appreciated the space; the boys really dug the loft area and our daughter enjoyed camping out in the bedroom off the bathroom. We didn't get the chance to make s'mores, but looked like a great set-up. We felt so comfortable in the space; it was clean, kitchen was stocked which allowed us to make meals at home some of the time. It was also super helpful to have a few plastic containers in the drawer, too, as this made it easier to pack up snacks for the beach. We enjoyed our stay so much and hope to visit again; would definitely rate 10/10.
