This is a great clean place, plenty of supplies, sleeps, close to downtown, and great response from the owners when we had questions. We will definitely stay here again.
We LOVED our stay at the Boathouse. Mark is such a responsive host - really appreciated him during our stay! The place was super clean, well kept. I could live here! Easy walk to Arnold's Park that you honestly can't beat. Thanks hosts!
Excellent property in a great location! Stayed with a large group of friends and everyone had great things to say! We won’t be staying anywhere else when we visit again!
This Vrbo property was perfect for our group! Not only was it very clean and nice, it was in a great location where we could walk to lots of great spots.
It was a great stay, everything was as described. We would definitely stay at the property again! Great location to Arnolds park and the other Okoboji attractions.
Great location, rooms were perfect size, home was updated and current. Couple minor issues that the owner handled within four hours. Will stay again if unit is available. Check in super easy, wifi great. We had 9 adults and 1 baby, worked perfectly. Thanks Mark, appreciate your property.
The Boathouse is in the perfect location for groups looking to experience all Okoboji has to offer! Easily walk to the theme park, bars, restaurants and the beach. House was clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend and stay again!
