Just as other reviewers have written, the central location is outstanding, the back deck and surroundings (trees, deer, turkey, birds) is wonderful and the beds were very comfortable.

The cabin was quaint with very nice kitchen and comfy beds. However the seating in the main living space was not conducive to older renters. We enjoyed the stay but the space could be taken to another level with more functional furniture. It was a vibe.

Really awesome place! Checking in was really easy and the amenities were great. The backyard was very scenic and relaxing. A family of deer took a walk through the yard each day. The whole house was very cozy and had a really nice cabin feel to it. 10/10 would stay again!

Great complex with everything you need. Exceeded our expectations. Plenty of room to host family reunion and outdoor deck provides additional space. Location offers views of west Okoboji lake and walking distance to O'Farrell's sister food joint. Hosts were attentive to any/all needs. Look forward to next trip!

Great Place for Our Family

The house was very nice and everything inside appeared to be new. The location was easy to get to all the place in Okoboji. The property has a ton of flowers and mature trees so felt like you’re secluded.

Perfect Boji Stay!

This property is very well located in the Okoboji area and sits in a private lot with a lot of nature surrounding it. The house is well appointed and was very clean. Perfect for families and friends as it is an open concept! Also, plenty of parking for a boat and several vehicles. Our friends enjoyed the home and many amenities!!

Magical Cabin

Wonderful weekend with friends. The cabin is in a great location with a wonderful view. We had three couples stay at the cabin and it worked out nicely. Coffee in the mornings on the deck watching the deer was a highlight!

The house was clean and I loved the furnishings. The couch was a bit low for us to get off of and stand back up, but it was still neat. I would love to know the history of the house, it's definitely unique. We celebrated our 38th anniversary there and the community of deer was so wonderful to watch. It was a calm weekend.
