"This property is beautifully situated on the lake front. We swam off the boat dock, ate breakfast on the deck and watched a lightning storm in the distance. Breathtaking views! Very clean and organized; all the beds were comfy with many choices of pillows. Two laundry rooms and numerous beach towels made it easy to enjoy the lake and Okoboji beaches. Great place for families with two full living room spaces! We did not use the second house because our group was smaller. We used the message host...
