Great Place to stay!

The place was very clean and well maintained. They have pretty much everything you need- coffee maker, full kitchen with utensils and spices, games, towels, washer and dryer, etc. We only stayed 1 night, but it would be a wonderful place to stay a whole week! Close to the lake and walkable distance to downtown.

Awesome Experience!

Stayed here for my bachelorette party and couldn't have picked a better spot! It was spacious and the full kitchen was exactly what we needed. The communication from StayProperties was great. It's in the best location being walkable to the Ritz and the Okoboji Store and even downtown to the bars. Highly recommend.

The best place to stay for our wedding!

The Stay Cation was perfect! Our entire wedding party stayed here. It was so fun to have everyone together, but also very nice that everyone had their own room. The Stay Cation had everything we needed and was walking distance from our wedding venue, the Pavilion. No issues! Would absolutely recommend to others to do the same thing.

4 Years of Perfection

My husband and I have been bringing a friend's reunion to Okoboji for 5 years now, 4 of which in this rental. This year in the rental was probably the best! There have been renovations to the rental, including additional outdoor equipment, washer/dryer upgrades, added table space, and some really cute decor! Sherri is the best host as well - communicating throughout the weekend with us and always being flexible if we need something. We will always recommend this place to friends and family. We have already done so and had another group rave to us about loving their stay here.

We totally enjoy renting this place. We loved it so much last year. We didn’t think it could get any better and when we got there this year there were fresh new paint colors and everything is just decorated so absolutely beautiful and the place is spotless. we absolutely love Sherri and we have rented from Her as well as my friends for several years.

10/10 Highly Recommend for a large Group

We've stayed here 2 years in a row for a work outing with a large group, and it is awesome! There's a pool table, bean bag boards, firepit AND firewood, all kitchen accessories, and just a great space to be able to hangout. Very clean too! Super easy check in and check out. Close to restaurants and the lake.

We had an amazing stay at this property for our family reunion! It was perfect for our large group — plenty of space, beautiful and comfortable rooms, and lots of gathering areas for meals and hangouts. The beds were super comfy, and everything was clean and high-quality. The house was also accessible for Grandma, which made a big difference. Visually, the place was really cool and fun — thoughtfully decorated and welcoming. The location couldn’t have been better: just a 5-minute walk to the beach and right in the middle of everything we needed. The hosts were fantastic. A couple of small issues came up, and they responded quickly and resolved them right away. We’re already planning to stay with them again — probably in this same property as a group, and maybe even in one of their nearby properties for smaller trips. Highly recommend!

This was the PERFECT spot for a girls trip for a group of teachers/staff from our school! We come to Okoboji every year for a little getaway and this is by far our favorite spot we’ve stayed! It’s so cute, roomy, and the location is perfect! We will definitely be back!

Wouldn't stay anywhere else!!

We have at StayCation three years in a row and we have had a great experience every time. The house has always been very clean and well stocked. The beds are comfortable and spacious. The outside space is tidy and well cared for. We haven't looked at any other options since we found Sherrie and this house.

Stay-Cation

The stay-cation was a great place for our large group to stay. The location does not get any better. The amount of bedrooms and space it offers for a big group is amazing. Check in/Check out is easy and convenient. If you are in Okoboji with a large group, I highly suggest the stay-cation.

Why they chose this property

This property is for large group accommodations satisfying those large families, friends, wedding parties, bachelor-bachelorette parties and more who are too often separated by different hotels and different accommodations. And talk about location?? Wow, what a location!

What makes this property unique

No other place in Okoboji provides quite this style of accommodations for this size of group.
