Peaceful location

We arrived to find that the bedrooms/bathrooms were not as advertised. Only 1 bedroom is upstairs with the full bath. One of the “bedrooms” in the basement is not a legal bedroom, as it has no egress window and is part of the utility room, with no walls separating it, & door that doesn’t open from the outside. Part of that bedroom is unfinished and did not make our children feel safe. Other bedrooms were nice, but need light blocking curtains. Kitchen was nice, except didn’t have the Keurig coffee maker or ice maker as shown in online photos. Had to make extra trip to store for different coffee and purchase ice (no ice maker in refrigerator). Screened in porch was nice. Exterior of home needs to be cleaned to help with the spider/insect issues and inside needs to be sprayed for bugs. There is no access to any water accessories, again, online photos need to be updated so they are accurate. Overall, the location was fine, but was not quite as expected based on online information.

Amazing home with the best views of the lake!

This home had absolutely everything you could ever need! We loved sitting out on the dock with the gorgeous views of the lake. Fishing was very successful, too. Beds were very comfortable as well as all home furnishings. I am so glad we chose this property for our Okoboji stay and I hope to stay here again in the future.

GREAT HOME & EXPERIENCE

We loved our stay at this property. First time using VRBO and it was a great experience. Laura was quick to answer all our questions and check in was a breeze. Our 8 grandchildren and adults had plenty of sleeping space. Loved the open floor concept and screened it deck, great for the toddlers in our group. Our one grand daugter (age 6) said I wished we could stay here for 11 years..lol. Our only regret was we wished we would of had more time.

Family vacation

The home was very nice and allowed our family to have a great time together. Although we didn’t have a lift we did have a spot on dock to tie up our boat. Laura was great to work with setting up this stay. One suggestion I would have is to add a drinking water system. Thanks Darlene O

Great place with lots of space

We enjoyed staying here so very much! Easy access to the lake and the property was beautiful with plenty of hangout space. The bidet was a refreshing treat and everyone in our party ordered one afterwards. The neighbors were kind as well! We would absolutely come back.
