Rual Countryside Getaway
This is a beautiful property! We enjoyed the solitude and great view of the pond/trees. My kids very much enjoyed fishing the pond. They even caught some large mouth bass. One weighing 2 pounds, and one weighing 3 pounds! Beds were super comfy. My kids even made me come check their comfiness before I could finish unloading the car. Would highly recommend this place if you are looking to get away from the bustle of the city and also have activities for the kids to do right out the back door. A very clean beach area was available also, although being late October, we didn’t swim.

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 😁

Cheerful two bedroom lake home.
Great communication, clear instructions and the perfect spot for a short stay. Can’t beat the price or the location. Plenty of room for bigger groups too!

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!

Ada's Guesthouse
Great place to stay not far at from the water, house was very nice and clean as had plenty of amenities.

Lake House Retreat
The house was exactly as described and worked perfectly for our trip! It was clean and there were lots of extras to enjoy. The best part was definitely the patio and view! Thank you!

Okoboji-5 bedroom -2 kitchens- dock/boat lift
Perfect place for our large family getaway. Julie was fast to respond to any questions or issues. Would definitely stay again if going there with a large group. We did need to get up rather early to get all the sheets and towels washed and dried, took about 3 hours to be able to leave waiting to get them all finished.

Lake House sleeps (16+) Boat Rental & Beach
Wonderful, very relaxing lake home. Large home, plenty of beds and big kitchen with lots of seating for our family gathering of 13. loved the big park across the street. Great location for attending events at Wartburg College, just 20 minutes away.

One Bedroom Lake Retreat
I booked off reviews, main reason for stay was visiting family for a very busy weekend. Unfortunately did not utilize all the perks of rental. The bed is wonderful!! Dont hesitate to book. Thank You!

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

Unique "Little Italy" Apartment
I stayed for an extended period while working in Des Moines. Access is easy and the location is quite comfortable. Greg lives downstairs and is very friendly and accommodating, but not nosey or bothersome in the least. I could come and go as I pleased with convenient garage parking and separate access. I messed up and failed to reserve this place for next year when I have to do this again, as I would definitely stay here if it were available. Everything you need is there. I have a plethora of suits that are quite heavy, and I worried I'd break the closet rod. Greg came up with a rolling clothes rack for the bedroom. He just happened to have one of those on hand. The only downside is that the home is near the bottom of a hill that can be an issue in icy weather. The road is very narrow and just enough to squeeze by oncoming cars. There are 17 or 18 steps to get to the apartment from the garage, so that may be a problem for some guests, but I had no issues with that at all.

Waterfront Condo! Bridges Bay! Pet! Pools! 4 King Bedrooms
We had a great time in this condo. It was a great space for a small extended family getaway with 5 adults and 2 kids. I wish we had more time to enjoy some of the other things in the Okoboji area!

Lakefront condo - 1st floor
Matt was great and very helpful. It was a very nice place, but it wasn’t very convenient to get to for unloading and loading our bags and supplies. Great view. Nice grassy area off the patio. Parking was not great. Overall a thumbs up.

Beautiful Bridges Bay Condo!
We had a wonderful stay at Janie’s condo in Okoboji with our 3 kids. Great view of the water, easy access on ground floor, beautiful decor, comfortable beds, and has everything you need! The kids enjoyed using the Spike Ball game outside. The fire table outside is a nice plus for chillier days. Highly recommend choosing Janie’s condo!

Amazing Grace.LL
Kathi’s place is a gem. She was extremely communicative and helpful when checking in. The location directly across from a park and the lake. There are plenty of trails for running or biking. There are also a multitude of restaurants within a short drives distance. The inside was rustic and you could tell a lot of work was put into the house. The bed was very comfortable and the WiFi was great as well. I would absolutely stay here again or recommend it to people visiting! It’s an absolute gem!

Bayside Vacation Condo 4bdrm
The place was exactly like the pictures. Beautiful view out on the patio. This fit our family trip with 6 adults and 3 kiddos perfectly with plenty of space for the kids to play.

BRICKHOUSE COTTAGE -2 blocks from beach & downtown
Amy’s home was perfect for our trip. It’s very clean and cozy and the neighborhood is beautiful and quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

The Milk House at Lucky Star Farm
Talk about last minute booking and an amazing host❤️❤️❤️. Our stay was more than we ever hoped for. Milk House is a very unique Airbnb. We loved our stay and all the extras. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and this was by far the most hospitality. Love the fresh eggs, coffee and the farm animals. The location was prefect. We biked during the day and return to a nice quiet/relaxing place. Thank you for creating a beautiful place to sure with the world❤️ Brian and Janis

ENTIRE LAKE FRONT HOME, 4 BED/3 BATH
The nicest, most complete Airbnb we'd stayed at. Extremely well updated and appointed. Very clean. Plenty of extra supplies.

Waterpark passes included Bridges Bay Resort!
Marty's, place is very convenient to multiple restaurants as well activities, the location is prime. Marty's place is very clean and accommodating to family's as well groups even couples. Marty was very responsive from the moment we were looking till the time we left. Do not over look Marty's place it is worth it.

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

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.

Large Yard, Sleeps 6, Walk Everywhere
It was an excellent stay in the cabin, everything was very neat and comfortable. The location of the place is ideal for spending some quiet time and being close to nature. The host was very friendly at all times and responded quickly. We would look to stay here again

≋ The Cottage at Sun Valley Lake ≋
We loved the cottage and the beautiful lake! Enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and our time here with family! Everything was clean and fresh!
