Stay-Cation

The stay-cation was a great place for our large group to stay. The location does not get any better. The amount of bedrooms and space it offers for a big group is amazing. Check in/Check out is easy and convenient. If you are in Okoboji with a large group, I highly suggest the stay-cation.

Great Place to stay!

The place was very clean and well maintained. They have pretty much everything you need- coffee maker, full kitchen with utensils and spices, games, towels, washer and dryer, etc. We only stayed 1 night, but it would be a wonderful place to stay a whole week! Close to the lake and walkable distance to downtown.

Amazing for large groups! You all get your own space but yet can all be together. Pictures don’t serve it justice, it’s better in person and location is perfect to get to “all the things.”
