Excellent stay /zero issues. It was great that owner allowed dogs I am happy to pay pet deposit but still don’t see where it says it is listed what that fee is ahead of time? It all worked out fine and she was very flexible with our change in arrival time. Would definitely stay here again and plan to in the future as it was perfect for us!

We stayed over Labor Day weekend and loved it! Cozy and private little cabana just close enough to Okoboji, and right across the street from Spirit Lake. The back deck opening to trees was the best. Bed was comfy and plenty of extra pillows and blankets. Everything seemed so new and clean. Plenty of appliances and the coffee was appreciated! Floors are a bit noisy, but to be expected in an older house. Would definitely stay again.

This property has a backyard that looks like a park with the bike trail running just behind it. No need to haul your bike to another location - just jump on and ride. Wonderful for walking too. The host responds quickly if you have questions.

We had a great stay at the cabin! It was definitely one of the most well stocked rentals we have ever stayed at, which made it feel just like home. The kids loved all the toys to play with. The location right next to the walking path and beach was great for us. We will definitely be staying here again soon!

The property was in very good shape and clean. Close to golf course, which was the reason for our stay. The step up to the kitchen was a little too high for the 76 year old knees. A two step would be much more acommodating. The bed was a 5 star. Very comfortable.

Cabin was super clean and just what we needed. It actually had more room than we thought. We came for a tournament and had 3 teens. It was awesome the couches pulled out to beds. All three had their own space. We didn't get a chance but the hosts had the patio furniture out. It is in a great location. My husband got lots of early morning and late fishing in. Overall great experience. We would book again.

We stayed three nights and appreciated the closeness to our reunion site, a beach, Walmart and walking trails. The temps were in the 90's so the AC was a must. Everything was clean in the unit, plenty of towels, bedding and kitchen ware. Cute decorations and nice quality of all appliances, furniture,etc.

Great find! Adorable cabin with everything and anything you need. The location, charm and quiet spot near Spirit Lake is a short distance to the touristy Okoboji. Even the pull out couches are super comfy to sleep on! Be sure to check out the ice cream shop on the trail for the best chocolate shakes too. We would definitely stay here again!

House was exactly as advertised, the addresses to the property was advertised in Spirit Lake but was located in Orleans. We struggled to find the correct address when we 1st arrived. Beds were comfortable and place was very nice stayed there with my husband 8, 10 and 12 year old kids. Spent most of our time in okaboji. The kids loved Arnold's Park. Make sure to take pictures of the property before you leave and also when you get there to assure they dont charge you for extra fees after you stay. As thats what happened to us. Maybe document your whole stay just to verify u did nothing wrong. We were charged damaging fees for some scratches that they said we did to some table. So just be aware. Other than that it was great. Won't be staying there again though.

We spent 4 nights. The bicycle trail in the backyard was awesome. I am an early riser, I was able to log some steps while my wife slept and got her first cup of coffee. The lake views (2 within walking distance) were much better than my neighborhood traffic filled walks at home. Too far from the kids and grandkids for long term, but a great oasis for getaways!
