We stayed at the Arnold's Park StayCation for a family vacation with our kids and grandkids. This property was perfect for our group and our use. Everything about it was just what we were looking for, or better. High accolades all around and highly recommended.

This house worked great for our group of 20. Having plenty of separate bedrooms was great and 4 bathrooms made rotating through the showers much easier! Having a large common area for all to hang out and 3 fridges was a great bonus. We love that so much is within walking distance! We’ve stayed twice before and will definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Sherri Jones

Host profile image
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.
