It's hard to find a true 5 bedroom home--this one was great. Very spacious and clean. In addition to 5 private rooms, you could sleep several more kids in the large basement rec room if you wanted, which has the nicest thick soft carpet. Great location close to golf courses and Arnold's Park. Big fenced in backyard was great for the kids. We appreciated being able to park cars in the garage as well as the driveway.

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay and the 8 of us, all over 70 years of age, we're happy with the location, the accomodations, amenities and cleanliness of the property. We did recommend that a railing be added at the front door of the home as the steps are quite high and proved difficult to navigate for older folks like us. We really liked the westside of the lakes location of the home. While still easily accessible to the attractions, it was quiet and peaceful.

Trevor, yes the location is good for a group of fisherman. I'm sorry you chose to leave one star. I assume it was an inadvertent click of a button. Regardless I'm glad you chose us for your fishing getaway! Thank you Trevor, hope to have you back sometime.

We loved the house and the space in this house. Loved the fenced-in backyard to play bean bags and just sit and visit. And making S'Mores of course.

Great property owners on West Okoboji Lake

Beautiful home to spend a family vacation at West Okoboji Lake. Plenty of room for individual quiet time and two family living rooms for playing family games and conversation. The owners were fantastic to work with, had a minor problem accessing the property due to pass code not working but Doug immediately got the door open remotely. We would stay here again, great location.

Wonderful family trip

Wonderful hosts and a beautiful home. Had everything needed and even things we forgot like toothbrushes and shampoo. They even went out of their way to set up a Christmas tree for us since we were celebrating our family Christmas there. Very responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

Amazing experience!

Doug was a great host. My friends and I stayed for a bachelorette trip and were welcomed into a clean home close to the beach. Doug was a great communicator and helped wud with the stove top in a very timely manner. Overall experience was 10/10 and would definitely recommend to others!

Perfect!

The house was clean, had towels for swimming if needed, lots of space, and enormous TVs. Plus, it was super close to Lakeside Lab, which is where my family was meeting. Walking trail went right in front of house, and close to boat ramp. Recommend highly.

Clean, Spacious, Well-Furnished, Great for Group of 10

The home was clean, spacious, well-furnished, and worked perfectly for our group of 10. It is nice that the property is located so close to Emerson Bay State Recreation Area (beach, public docks, etc.). It is not near Arnolds Park, etc., but we had no problem getting Ubers back and forth. Additionally, the owners were friendly, helpful, and quick communicators. We would absolutely recommend this listing to others.

Family Reunion

The property was the right size for the reunion of three families. We had six adults and six children. The location close to the lake and on an excellent bike trail is wonderful. The beach in the nearby park was small but not crowded. The lake is clear and clean. The bike path is perfect for bikes and the kids enjoyed using their scooters. The pictures of the property should include the backyard with the grills and chairs.

Repairs needed

Plumbing repairs and general maintenance are necessary in this home. Cleanliness lacks attention to detail. Owners were receptive to comments. Hopefully they took care of the issues.
