Overall a beautiful home and everything you need for a quick lake getaway! The landing was very close to the dock and the waters were easy to navigate! The only downside was you were unable to swim at the dock!

Property is advertised. Everything was just fine for our extended family. 6 Adults and 7 kids. There is a really nice park and small splash pad within walking distance (less then 10 minutes). There is also a really cool outside dive bar called Woubes a short dive (5 min.) that is straight across the lake.

Great get-away!

We were so pleased with our stay; it truly was peaceful, lakeside living. Everything we needed was provided and we enjoyed it all: the deck, grill, plentiful seating inside & out, well-stocked kitchen, the dock, kayaks and other water amenities, games, books, maps of the area. The home is very close to bike/walking trails, which we used every day. Restaurants in the area are great, and we enjoyed a winery not far from town. It was perfect for our family gathering!!

Great relaxing stay

This house was perfect for our stay. Beds were comfortable and amenities were great! the only down side to the place was the lake was dirty and weedy, we love to swim and float in the water, but the VRBO had a floating raft, so we used that every day. Highly recommend this house; the propane fire place was cozy in the screened in porch and very relaxing. We sat on the deck in the mornings, was beautiful view sipping coffee! Communication was awesome with the owners also!

Annual Sister's Trip

We go to Okoboji every year for our annual sister's trip. This trip was perfect, the house is so charming, and we had plently of room. We LOVED being on the lake with fishing, kayaking, canoeing, and just relaxing on the dock. We have not had that availability prior and SO enjoyed it. The beds were comfy and we had plenty of towels, utensils, etc. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home!

House

overall stay was good, they house fit our family of 9 perfect, but only complaint on our end was, the carpet in the bedrooms was very dirty, with crumbs on the floor in the bunk rooms and over 15 different bug findings, window seals where completely full of bugs as well and alot of dirt build up, but we had a great time and they had everything you need for a stay. Was nice to have a great place directly on the water, unfortunately we came during the flood and was unable to use the dock with it being under water, but the kids and I still had a great stay at this beautiful house on the water.

Glad your family fit and enjoyed being on the lake. We wish you would have reached out directly about the crumbs, as that is not acceptable to us.
