Great place

Very happy with the rental. Make sure you bring drinking water because the water isn't good for people or your pets. Comfortable couches and lots of seating.

Sweet house for fishing on Boji

Great place for hunters or fisherman! Owner is very nice and made check in super easy, and the big garage made for a nice place to hang out and rig up in the boats. Great location and great setup for fishing or hunting around Okoboji!

Amazing!

We loved it, a peaceful setting not far from Okoboji! Lots of room & fun to sit outside in the mornings on the patio taking in the scenery! The most comfortable couches I’ve ever sat on. Can’t wait to go back!

Hospitality at its BEST

These owners are the BEST! They want you to communicate with them and they are very understanding! Pat came out after we lost some power and fixed it immediately! He also spoke about great places to fish which is what we were interested in! Very knowledgeable of the area and wants you to enjoy your stay! LOVED IT! All my kids cannot stop talking about how awesome the cabin and the land is! Planning our next visit soon!

One of the best places I’ve stayed

Stayed for a weekend with friends on an upland hunting trip. Lodge was AWESOME! Beds were comfortable and had everything we needed. Heated garage for dogs to stay was a huge plus. Lodge has a great open kitchen/dining area/kitchen that was stocked with any supplies you need. Pat was a great host and extremely helpful. communication was excellent. I could not recommend this place enough. Property was beautiful and I’d like to take my family back in the summer for a relaxing getaway. You will not be disappointed if you book this place.

Great hunting retreat

This place is great. Just what the doctor ordered. 5 of us with 5 dogs for pheasant hunting. Huge garage with kennels and heated floor for all the puppies. Everything inside was great. Fully stocked kitchen utensils, pots, pans, spices, ziplocks, etc. Even though we brought most everything, it is nice to know that it is there if you need it. Nicely decorated. Would be happy to bring my wife the next time. Super clean. Highly recommend this stay. Also, very private. You can see the pride of ownership. Wish I owned it.

Highly recommended if you’re in the area! Super nice and lots of space. It looks exactly like the pictures. The owner was very responsive, and communicated effectively. They answered any and all questions that we had at any time we needed. Overall, this cabin did not disappoint and we will definitely be back in the future!
