Looking for the perfect balance of peaceful retreat and easy access to summer excitement? This lakeside home on serene Center Lake offers the best of both worlds. Unlike the busy waters of East and West Lake Okoboji, Center Lake is a quiet lake, ideal for kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and wildlife watching. It’s the perfect place to unplug, unwind, and truly connect with nature.

The space
Want a little adrenaline? There’s a convenient boat ramp if you’re looking to launch your motor boat and head out for some wakeboarding or water skiing—then return to dock at your calm oasis when you’re done. You’re just minutes from all the action—including Arnolds Park Amusement Park, live music, and fireworks—but far enough away to feel you are leaving the real world behind.

The home itself is made for both relaxation and connection. A gas grill, wood pellet smoker, and double oven make mealtime a shared experience, whether you’re cooking inside or dining under the stars. Start your morning with coffee on the dock and end your day with wine at sunset or s’mores by the firepit, watching the kids catch fireflies in the yard.

With a spacious patio conversation area, a generous yard for lawn games, and plenty of sleeping space—including six queen beds and a king suite—everyone will be comfortable, rested, and ready for another day of lakeside memories.

Come find out why you will love Center Lake—a quiet escape just around the corner from everything.
