"We wanted to offer a place where people could come and relax, rest and restore - and also to have fun enjoying the amenities of the Lakes area... We want others to come and enjoy the lakes like we do." Joe grew up camping in Okoboji and couldn't get moved to the area fast enough.

Karen grew up in Minnesota and visited the Lakes area as a kid with her family. She is retired after 27 years selling real estate. Joe and Karen met 30 years ago and made their home in the Spirit Lake area.
