Relaxing Vacation

We really enjoyed the proximity to the lake. Great views of Little Spirit Lake and Big Spirit Lake. The weather was rainy and overcast so it made for a relaxing time in the cabin. And it is a cozy cabin. We had a great time.

Wonderful family vacay!

The location of this property was absolutely perfect! Quiet and peaceful right on the lake but quick drive to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go. Fishing off the deck was so much fun for the kiddos. The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. Well stocked with little essentials was hugely appreciated! Definitely will stay again!!

Nice Stay, But Some Room for Improvement

We recently stayed at this property and overall had a good experience, though there were a few issues that impacted our stay. The location was perfect and conveniently close to my family's cabin, making it an ideal spot for us. The property itself was clean and well-maintained. However, during our visit, the air conditioning was not working, which was challenging given the 90+ degree heat. It took a few days for the host to have a technician come and fix it, which made those days uncomfortable. Additionally, we were surprised to find that there was no cream and sugar provided for the coffee, which we assumed would be available. Also, we had to do laundry to have clean towels during our stay, which was unexpected. I suggest they have extra supplies & toiletries to make guests' stays more convenient. The listing mentioned that the couch bed could accommodate 2 guests, but in reality, it was not comfortable even for one adult. It would be great if this detail could be updated for future guests. Despite these issues, we still enjoyed our stay due to the property's charm and location. The host was responsive and eventually addressed the air conditioning problem. With a few improvements, this place could offer an even better experience.

Wedding getaway

We had a great time here using it for lodging during our wedding. The deck was beautiful and overlooked little spirit lake. We were even able to catch a couple fish from the deck! Decorations were so cute and made the property feel so modern. It definitely gave tiny-home vibes (in the best way)! The door lock and key were secure. The A/C worked well and we had all the amenities we needed. The only thing I would suggest be added would be a lamp in the bedroom for softer lighting than the fluorescent overheads.

Perfect Little Place for Us

This is the third time we have stayed at this property. We love the location. Away from the hustle and bustle, but very close to all the attractions. The little deck is perfect for morning and late night fishing. We had two adults and two little kids, the house is a prefect size fit is..

Labor Day Get-away

We had a get-away weekend and truly enjoyed this cute cabin! The property is in a great location, well decorated and clean. All the kitchen and bathroom items you need are stocked. We were between lakes on an isthmus, so had sunrise and sunset viewing. It was a hot weekend, but the lake breezes kept things beautiful, and the air conditioning had no problem with 95+ temps. We would definitely love to come back sometime soon.

Cozy little hideaway

Such a sweet little house. On a strip between TWO lakes! We saw big bass jumping out back, and a little chipmunk snuck up on the porch to say hi. The home was clean, well-stocked, and convenient. Thanks much for a lovely Okoboji visit!

Great stay on Little Spirit Lake

This was an awesome find…super clean, well-stocked, and responsive host. We loved having views of both lakes and easy access for paddle boarding. The pathway into the lake was a little challenging but manageable. The cabin was clean, had lots of towels and other little extras that made it a comfortable stay. We missed that no WiFi or TV was included (couldn’t get digital local TV either); it nice to have a quiet vacation, but good to know this ahead. We would definitely recommend this place and stay here again.
