Thank you for your review. We would like to clarify a few details regarding your stay for our future guests. We have always had a smart TV available for our guests with free Wi-Fi for streaming. We offer free Internet for our guests which is all stated in our listing. The size of the cottage as well as the fact that we have two bedrooms and three beds is in our listing. We have many families stay with us and we get many repeat guests. We are proud of all of our previous five star reviews and work very hard to get them. We also communicate several times with our guests to ensure that they have a comfortable stay and enjoy their vacation. We wish you the best of luck in your future travels.

Great location

It’s in a great location to the park. A pretty old property with old house quirks but fit our needs since we just needed to shower and sleep there.

This was my families second time staying here and it was great! The bathroom remodel was very nice and the whole place was very homey. It's a great location to the lake and amusement park. Looking forward to booking again next year!

Adorable Cottage

The Sunrise Cottage was a great cabin for our family of 4. The walk to Arnold’s Park is less than 10 minutes, which was perfect for our kids. The cabin was clean, and the hosts were friendly and helpful!

So enjoyable!

We had the best stay at this sweet cottage. When traveling with our family we wanted a space that allowed us to make our own food and had space to come back from our activities for naps. The location is roughly 2 blocks from Arnold's Park so we were able to walk back and forth whenever the kids needed a break or for meals and it was so convenient to not have to try to drive and find parking. Our hosts were accommodating and responsive. We would definitely book this property again!

We love having families like yours come and enjoy the property and make your memories at Okoboji. We loved getting the picture of you and your family in front of the cottage. We would love to have you as guests again thank you!!
