This is the most wonderful, peaceful, historic location for a summer getaway! We love staying here and enjoying the views, short walks to Arnold’s Park and living like a local. It is peaceful and serene - love it so much!
This home is tucked away in the tranquility of historic Arnold’s Park but within a short walk to the Arnold’s Park Amusement Park, Roof Garden and Nutty Bar Stand. This beautiful, historic home is the perfect quiet getaway for lake activities, long walks along the water, yoga on the dock, summer reading and within reach of terrific bike trails. A variety of bird feeders offer an incredible bird watching experience. The home is perfectly architected for families to spread out and/or gather. The sun room is a wonderful spot for playing the piano or working a puzzle. This was our second summer here and loved every minute of our stay! Our hosts have a long family history with the home and enjoy sharing it with others. They are absolutely wonderful hosts! We love staying here!

About the host
Your host
Four generations summered here in this magical spot on Pillsbury Point on scenic Lake Okoboji. They learned to swim, sail, fish, put on plays and developed life long friendships. One excelled in competitive slalom ski and also races with the local yacht club every Saturday and Sunday, often visible from the dock.
