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.

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.

A great spot in Arnold's Park, short walking distance from the amusement park. Also walking distance from boat rentals, jet skis, fishing guides, restaurants... everything. The property looks small on the outside, but has lots of space for a couple families. We hope to stay here again.

Family stay

This house is close to the boat ramp, and there were docks in a short walk to load and unload people, which was nice. It was also super close to Arnolds Park and the attractions around that. The house was nice for 2 families as it had separate living space upstairs and downstairs.

We have a family of 6 Adults and 3 kids and a dog. This home was like being home but steps away from the beach, Arnolds Park and everything that Okoboji has to offer. Our family had a wonderful time at this home. We had a newborn and toddler with us and the rooms are perfect for naps. They have 3 rocking chairs available, it was so helpful!!! Nadine is a great host!
