The Vintage Block is awesome. It's clearly an older 60s/70s style motel, but the owners have stuck a ton of money and love into it. It's immaculately clean, and the decor is fresh and inviting. It's location is top notch to all the fun stuff around okoboji, and the management clearly cares about its customers.
