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.

3 bedroom house at Bridges Bay Resort

LucyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Location and the house were great. If you plan to do a lot of cooking/eating in, it might be a challenge. A lot of the kitchenware just felt like cheap college dorm supplies. But if you don't plan to cook, it's a great place to stay. The bunk beds are squeaky and not the most comfortable, but it wasn't a huge problem for us.

Close to Okoboji attractions!

HollyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Excellent home & location! Very clean and comfortable. Nice, quality finishings. Plenty of towels, dishes, silverware, etc. Great backyard for a game of bags. Handicap accessible. Quiet neighborhood but close to so many attractions. We have family in the area and others in surrounding states and this is a great place for us all to meet up a few times a year. I will definitely be booking this place again! Steve and Jodi were excellent hosts and we were grateful to be able to stay here vs a hotel!

Amazing Grace - Upper Apartment

sheridanRating, 5 stars92 months ago
Kathi's place is a welcome retreat. It's quite and serene within 1 mile of town. She really has gone out of her way to make the stay a positive one. I'm sure Josie and I will stay again. Kathi responds quickly to questions and the house is an eclectic mixture of tradition and modern. An inviting home. Highly recommend staying if in the area.

Lake front 4 bedroom home with private dock

JessicaRating, 5 stars7 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 😁

Lakefront Summer Cottage

SulamitaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
We loved our stay! It was perfect for a weekend getaway. We came to relax and this was the perfect place. We loved the location where we can hangout outside or inside. You can fish off the dock and bring the boat up to the dock. Sarah was super friendly and responsive. Would definitely recommend this stay!

Okoboji getaway.4 bed 3 bath pool in backyard

EmilyRating, 5 stars7 months ago
This house fit our family well for the weekend. The rooms downstairs with the bunk beds were small so it was hard to get a pack and play next to the bed but we made it work. It’s right in the Bridges Bay area so it was nice to have passes to the water park and just be able to walk over there! Also the neighborhood pool was great that it was right in the back yard. The house was nice and clean. There was tons to do, flea market, concert near Arnold’s park, and tons of shopping. Great weekend!

Boji Waterfront Retreat - Millers Bay Canals

AnitaRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Enjoyed our weekend stay at Kim’s place. It was quiet, clean, and quaint! My girls and I came to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. It is close enough to town for shopping and food, but far enough away from the busyness of the Arnold’s Park area. We were able to use the kayaks and enjoy the canal right in the backyard and kayak to the lake. We liked the quiet neighborhood and it is a safe place for walks and a bike ride. Bikes and kayaks were provided in the garage.

Nature View and Walk 1

BreeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Great place to crash, over all clean, plenty of fresh towels! There are no closest or dressers though.. which I may have missed in the listing, but either way when you rent a house type space I feel as though you should have somewhere to put your belongings. Other than that, very affordable find!

Your guide to Okoboji

All About Okoboji

In northwest Iowa, right along its border with Minnesota, sits a chain of interconnected glacial lakes that are the focal point for the small resort town of Okoboji. Vintage Americana is the vibe here, with hand-dipped ice cream cones, a restored amusement park built in the 1800s that has retained its charm, a museum dedicated to classic cars, and a Great Lakes Maritime Museum with antique wooden boats.

There’s more to this area than historic storefronts and quaint main streets, though, and the locals have done a measured job balancing the old with the modern: Craft breweries have gained popularity, public yoga classes are often held on beaches and even on paddleboards, and the Pearson Lakes Art Center hosts visual art exhibits across six different galleries along with independent films. And although the area is jam-packed with attractions, the natural world is never far from reach. There are more public beaches than you can count on two hands, and well-groomed trails are easily found in Pikes Point and Gull Point state parks.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Okoboji

The lakes come alive in the summertime when hot daily temperatures make swimming and boating possible, and the town celebrates with a fireworks show every Saturday night. Each August, the Blue Water Festival is held in town to help raise awareness for watershed protection, and conservation groups, exhibitors, and musicians are invited to help get the public fired up about the local lakes. The crisp and breezy fall lures an influx of hikers and mountain cyclists to the trails, and art-lovers come to experience a local art festival that combines scenic drives with open studio tours. In winter, you can expect more than 30 inches of snow, and spring ushers in the return of the fishing season.


Top things to do in Okoboji

Arnolds Park

Just five minutes to the south of Okoboji is Arnolds Park, where you’ll find the quirky Iowa Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, the lakeside Promenade, and bumping bars and nightclubs. The biggest draw is Arnolds Park Amusement Park, an attraction founded in 1889 with about 30 rides and attractions to enjoy, including one of the oldest wooden roller coasters in the world.

Gull Point State Park

With one of the best beaches in Okoboji, this state park provides winning views of West Okoboji Lake and amenities like a playground. In the middle sits the large Gull Point Lodge, which was constructed for the public in 1933. The self-guided hiking trails here are great for beginners as they’re just over one mile each.

Lake Hopping

Okoboji is surrounded by water, and while you’re visiting, you have the opportunity to see at least four different lakes: West Okoboji Lake, East Okoboji Lake, Center Lake, and Big Spirit Lake. Local outdoor outfitters and boat shops rent out kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, and motorboats for use on all of the lakes, and you can also fish for local favorites like walleye and perch from public docks. For another protected beachfront, check out Pikes Point State Park on West Okoboji Lake.
