Place was well kept and clean. We went during off season time which was nice because there were very few people around. My husband and I were looking for a quiet weekend getaway.

The house was perfect for our 3 generation girls trip. Close enough to town to shop and explore, far enough away to be peaceful. Lexie thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.

North Shore was perfect for us!

Not only did the VRBO have everything we needed, we learned in town that we were on the “quiet lake” and that was a perfect match for us! The neighbors were friendly, and passing boats were respectful of not making huge wake that could topple our little kayak, plus, there was no screaming and engine revving which we heard on West Okoboji when we were dining at the Okoboji Store! We were also very appreciative of how friendly and responsive our VRBO owners were!

Wonderful Lake Home

This lake home was beautiful! Nearly everything was brand new or updated, and we really appreciated the thoughtful extra amenities from our host. Our communication with them was exceptional, making us feel incredibly welcome and at home.It was the perfect spot for a wonderful family vacation, with something for everyone. The younger kids loved the hot tub, and we enjoyed watching stunning sunsets from the dock.We highly recommend this peaceful retreat in a very welcoming community and would absolutely love to stay again!Thank you!

Wonderful stay

The home was very nice and relaxing. Kitchen was well equipped for cooking your own meals, and even had some containers for leftovers. Our favorite part was sitting out in the large screened in porch, playing card games listening to the lake. Lexi was extremely accommodating, ensuring we had everything we would need. Would love to visit again!

Cozy cabin by the lake

Looks exactly like the pictures do. We unfortunately had some unexpected issues come up unrelated to the cabin so only had one full day there but we enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch having lunch while visiting with family and enjoying the beautiful view of the lake. We have stayed in this area of the lake before and it is very quiet and peaceful.

Absolutely Perfect!!!

This was a get away for my family but I also have family who live around Spirit Lake so I was able to see them as well. The cabin was perfect for our needs and loved, loved, loved the screen in porch...that is where we spent most of our time. Lexi was great touching base with us to see if we needed anything at all. Would definitely stay here again!
