Wonderful house, great location! Our family visits the area every year, and this house was a fantastic find. It is incredibly clean, large, and gave our group plenty of room to relax. The location is perfect, it is super close to Lake Okoboji, local bars, restaurants, and the amusement park, yet the neighborhood itself is quiet. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to cook family meals. My sisters and I love it and will be back again next year!

Wonderful home for larger groups with plenty of space to gather together and spread out for privacy. Home was clean and had every necessity available on arrival including coffee, TP and paper towels! Very easy walk to Arnolds Park Amusement Park, the lake, shopping and restaurants. Surprisingly quiet neighborhood with being so close to the Amusement Park and felt very safe walking and exploring. Our family of 7 spanning 3 generations plus our dogs spent a fabulous week here.

Very comfortable house with a great location just a block from the lake & the amusement park & boardwalk. Good outdoor space with the adjacent green area for kids to race around. We loved strolling over to get ice cream on the boardwalk and enjoy the sunset, and fishing off the dock.

Spent a week here with sisters and their spouses. Plenty of room for all of us to have our own bedroom. Well-equipped house with good bathroom facilities. No issues with furniture or broken anything. Spent a good deal of time on the back deck and fire pit patio. Hosts were very responsive to a minor issue we had with garbage pickup, and communicative regarding coming to the property to access the garages. We had perfect weather, and despite being close to the park, the noise level from the neighborhood was minimal inside the house. Large comfy bedrooms and plenty of room for guests who stopped to visit. Kitchen facilities and equipment all in good working order. Everything sparkling clean, and if you like walnuts and acorns, you'll be entertained by them falling frequently. Walking distance to several stores and restaurants, as well as a great public sidewalk along the lakeshore that lasts for several blocks. Neighbors were very welcoming. Wouldn't be surprised if we return there soon!
