Family get together
We loved the house and the space in this house. Loved the fenced-in backyard to play bean bags and just sit and visit. And making S'Mores of course.

Great property owners on West Okoboji Lake
Beautiful home to spend a family vacation at West Okoboji Lake. Plenty of room for individual quiet time and two family living rooms for playing family games and conversation. The owners were fantastic to work with, had a minor problem accessing the property due to pass code not working but Doug immediately got the door open remotely. We would stay here again, great location.

Repairs needed
Plumbing repairs and general maintenance are necessary in this home. Cleanliness lacks attention to detail. Owners were receptive to comments. Hopefully they took care of the issues.

Clean, Spacious, Well-Furnished, Great for Group of 10
The home was clean, spacious, well-furnished, and worked perfectly for our group of 10. It is nice that the property is located so close to Emerson Bay State Recreation Area (beach, public docks, etc.). It is not near Arnolds Park, etc., but we had no problem getting Ubers back and forth. Additionally, the owners were friendly, helpful, and quick communicators. We would absolutely recommend this listing to others.

Perfect!
The house was clean, had towels for swimming if needed, lots of space, and enormous TVs. Plus, it was super close to Lakeside Lab, which is where my family was meeting. Walking trail went right in front of house, and close to boat ramp. Recommend highly.

Family Reunion
The property was the right size for the reunion of three families. We had six adults and six children. The location close to the lake and on an excellent bike trail is wonderful. The beach in the nearby park was small but not crowded. The lake is clear and clean. The bike path is perfect for bikes and the kids enjoyed using their scooters. The pictures of the property should include the backyard with the grills and chairs.

Wonderful family trip
Wonderful hosts and a beautiful home. Had everything needed and even things we forgot like toothbrushes and shampoo. They even went out of their way to set up a Christmas tree for us since we were celebrating our family Christmas there. Very responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend.
