We've stayed here 2 years in a row for a work outing with a large group, and it is awesome! There's a pool table, bean bag boards, firepit AND firewood, all kitchen accessories, and just a great space to be able to hangout. Very clean too! Super easy check in and check out. Close to restaurants and the lake.

Hi. Im Sherri Jones and I manage the Stay Properties. We are located in Arnolds Park, Iowa. We currently have 14 properties and adding 3 more the winter of 2022. I am on call to help make your visit pleasant while in the Okoboji area.

Why they chose this property

This property is for large group accommodations satisfying those large families, friends, wedding parties, bachelor-bachelorette parties and more who are too often separated by different hotels and different accommodations. And talk about location?? Wow, what a location!

What makes this property unique

No other place in Okoboji provides quite this style of accommodations for this size of group.
