Loved being on the water. Also loved that you can divide the house in two in a way and have a quite side and a loud side. Great Place!

Our group of brothers and sister ages 65 to 80 enjoyed the one level living. We enjoyed the lake view and the neighborhood.

This house was great for my large group of 16 adults. Even more spacious than it looks online!

We had such a great time and really enjoyed the space. The views were beautiful and couldn’t have asked for a better location. Our only wish was that the water was a bit cleaner to swim in. Otherwise, a perfect place for a large family gathering!! It is much more beautiful than the pictures show. We will be back.

We stayed for an all-adult, family get-together. This is a big house with lots of sleeping space. The great location is accessible to all the local sites & attractions you expect at Lake Okoboji. The outdoor facilities are awesome. The owners were quick to respond and very helpful from start to finish. I ranked the cleaning 4/5 as we had a couple of minor issues that the owner offered to remedy right away (dirty socks in a drawer, the coffee maker still had grounds in it, and cobwebs) but we took care of them ourselves. The owners apologized. Nothing major that would ever stop us from returning and close to a 5/5 but not a 5/5. This is what I think needs to be clearer in the house description: the house is three bedrooms plus an open loft (which they describe) and a sun-type porch off the kitchen/breakfast area that has been converted into a bedroom. This sun porch windows have coverings but it also has double doors with full windows to the outside and into the kitchen, and no window coverings on either. So if you plan to use this as a bedroom understand there is zero privacy. It also was very warm in the room and I could not find an ac/heater vent. Overall this is a great place, I think there just needs to be some clarifications made on the description. I do recommend this home and we would stay again.

Went in Summer months. It was a nice location, close to walking path. Had 3 generations of family staying in home. Biggest complaint from all were the beds and the thick plastic coverings on them. The bed I wasn’t in was not the most comfortable to begin with but the thick plastic covering on was ridiculous.. Have stayed in other VRBOs and haven’t had this type of thick plastic covering mattress before. Also, for those having to sleep on loft side of A frame, no privacy.
