Spacious 3 bedroom home near the Barefoot Bar
Tiffanie was an outstanding host. She got back to me as quick as she could. If there was a problem she made sure it was handled quickly.

Boji Bungalow
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
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!
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!

Beautiful Cabin at Bridges Bay Waterpark Resort!
The place was very clean and had a great location. Close to the water park and the amusement park. Katie was very responsive!

Family Style Home right on the Bike Trail
very nice place all the away around. we had 10 guys and all were pleased.

Nautical Okoboji House
Great place to stay! Easy check-in and check-out process. Responsive host. Three bedrooms with four beds total. And three bathrooms. Worked great for our group! Has ample garage space as well. We will be back again!

Amazing Grace - Upper Apartment
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.

East Lake Okoboji Guesthouse on lakefront property
A perfect little apartment for a long weekend.

Lake front 4 bedroom home with private dock
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
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!

Barleans - Cozy Cabin Conveniently Located
We needed a place to unplug for a couple of days and it was perfect! Well equipped kitchen and charming nautical theme. Spacious backyard on a paved public trail. We visited off season to enjoy the quiet beaches, parks, coffee shops and a candy store.

Grandpa's Family Big Spirit Cabin *Lift Available*
Loved it! Great spot! Super nice host! Lots of bed space!

Okoboji getaway.4 bed 3 bath pool in backyard
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!

Lakeside Luxury~Hot Tub~Game Room~Fire Pit
Great stay! Cute and cozy!

Walleye Way Fish n Stay
It was just what we were looking for, especially for 4 people! She was really responsive when we asked her questions. Great general overall location for fishing any of the lakes in the area! Everything worked out great for us! We have stayed at other locations in the area but this place is one we will try get again! Thanks Kelly!Paul & Jane Rubner Scott and Gerilyn Holub

Bridges Bay Getaway
Location worked great for us. Plenty of room for two adults. The house well well stocked with supplies needed for cooking. Very clean and comfortable!

Boji Waterfront Retreat - Millers Bay Canals
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.

Arnolds Park Cabin
Tatia was incredibly responsive. In every communication, Tatia was quick to respond and pleasant. She also reached out with considerate suggestions.

3 Bedroom Cabin in Bridges Bay
The house was just as described very clean and close to lost of local things. Host responded very quickly to any questions or requests we had. Would highly recommend.

Nature View and Walk 1
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!

BRIDGES BAY CABIN WITH BACKYARD POOL
Great place to stay. Walkable distance to Bridges Bay resort. The home was near a pool and in a cute neighborhood. Stayed there with 14 people total and we were all comfortable! Great place to stay!

West Lake Okoboji Summer Cottage (Cub)
Perfect place and excellent location for our one night stay for a wedding. Cold air conditioner, great smelling linens, and super clean and organized. Highly recommend this cabin and will use again.

Stunning Bridges Bay Retreat Cabin Accommodates 11
Had a wonderful evening celebrating my wife’s 40th birthday with her close friends. There was room for all of us to gather and separate space for each couple.

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.
