Great Stay

The house was a perfect stay for a long weekend at Lake Okoboji. Passes to the waterpark included, fishing poles, and a kayak led to a very fun weekend. The host is fantastic and responsive. Would book again.

Great Stay at The Good Life

We had a wonderdul experience at The Good Life cabin! The location was great, the layout of the cabin was perfect for two adults and three children (with plenty of extra space), and the cleanliness far exceeded any hotel we've stayed at lately! We will definitely book again when we are in the area

Perfect little cabin

Perfect cabin for husband and I to work remote for the week. Ample room and would have been great for a family. Loved the large amount of bath towels and kitchen dishes/supplies. The listing was pretty spot on with lots of extra amenities (bikes, games, ets). We stayed during off season, so town was low key, but still a lot of stores/restaurants. Would recommend for sure!

Great Place!

Two friends and I came up for a long weekend of ice fishing. The house was perfect for our weekend away. Great linens and a well-stocked kitchen. I can't think of one thing that I would have changed. The gas grill worked great, too. Would definitely stay here again. Jared

The Good Life is Right

Upon arrival everyone was impressed with the home. Plenty of room for everyone that was staying. We had a party of 5 adults and a pre-teen. Sleeping arrangements were fantastic and worked perfect for our group. Location was perfect in a HOA and close to all of the activities we had planned. Very clean and neat, everything had its place and we found everything we needed very easily!

Host responds to questions quickly

Access to lake is limited. Host was nice to offer use of bikes in the garage. But the handle bars are broken, creating a unsafe ride

Clean and well taken care of inside and out! Very kid friendly our grandkids loved it! Bikes and fishing poles in the garage, and a kayak too! The hosts here have thought of everything! Even the smallest things like soft comfy throw blankets in the living room area! The washer and dryer was a huge plus with 3 small children! The grill and fire pit with firewood there for us and all the grilling utensils! Absolutely everything about the Good Life cabin was top notch! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great Rental and As Described

All was beautiful at your home. No bath soap though... couldn't quite figure that one out :) Most of the time there is body soap and even shampoo. Was fine for what we needed though. Didn't spend a lot of time there, but slept great! Thanks.

Annual Girls Getaway

We loved our stay at The Good Life Cabin! Everything the owner says the cabin has to offer it stands up to its name. The place was decorated very cute. Tracy was very easy to work with and answered any of our questions or concerns. Now you just have to ask yourself, “Are you ready for The Good Life?” Will definitely book our next years trip here!

Family owned cabin.

Why they chose this property

Our family is very excited to own a piece of Okoboji. We have been visiting the area for years. In 2020 we decided to purchase a property. We are happy to be sharing our vacation home with others.

What makes this property unique

The backyard view is wonderful. The cabin backs up to an open area. We often see deer, rabbits, frogs, and birds. One of the best locations and views in the neighborhood. Private with lots of green space to play yard games.
