There was plenty of room for our group...original group size was 8 adults and 2 littles...due to family events we had only 5 adults for our stay. Plenty of space and supplies were ample. Comfort of a couple of the beds is questionable! Also, if you like a fuller pillow - bring your own! We loved having the pool out the back door and the extra outdoor seating area.
The location and house itself was nice. A couple of things we didn't like were as follows: They only provided 3 kitchen trash bags, 1 paper towel roll and 7 rolls of toilet paper (2 of them being partial rolls when we got there) for 6 girls for 4 1/2 days. If we ran out we had to go buy more, which we had to. Little stingy on those products. The coffee pot is way too small. The pots and pans were scratched to hell--need new ones! The toilets were hard to flush and had a note about lifting the back of the toilet off to flush them. That's wild that you can't get cheaper new toilets that flush with ease. It was crazy that we had to replace the propane tank if you used the grill--have never had that at a VRBO. Some of the beds were sunk in and very worn down and some were squeaky. The thermostat had to be at 72 and it got very hot upstairs and very uncomfortable at bedtime to fall asleep. Lots of areas of improvement! Especially the basic necessities of enough toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags. Also working toilets. There was no WIFI either! Super strange.
This house is gorgeous and very well stocked with most things needed for your stay! The pool is nice. This house is within walking distance to Bridges Bay (which you receive passes to with your rental)! We will definitely be back!
Weâve been to Okoboji several times but not over the 4th. Our cabin was clean and spacious enough for all who stayed. Kitchen was well stocked for what we used it for and the grill worked great as well. We were worried about the flooding but we were able to get on the lake on Friday and Saturday for a little bit, so we were happy about that. We love the Bridges Bay area so getting a cabin here works perfect. We will be back
We were looking for a place to rent that was close to a pool and workout facility... and had enough beds for our family! This was a win, win for both! The owners were easy to work with and when the TV stopped working they got it fixed right away! Could not have been happier, we would highly recommend!
My family and I enjoyed our stay very much. The backyard pool & courtyard were perfect!
The house was perfect for the 3 families we had in our party. The location was great for all things in Okoboji. I liked staying in a newer house, versus a cabin. I would book this house again without any hesitation! The only shortcoming was we needed more bath towels. Six was not enough for a house sleeping ten.
This property was the perfect layout for our family of 6 - each kid got their own bed. The only issue we had was finding it - this resort is packed with houses and we came in after dark. The owner was quick to reply to any questions I had. We will return!
We enjoyed our stay, and the cabin is very clean. My only suggestions would be to provide guests with paper towels, Kleenex, dish soap, WiFi, and a hair dryer. We didnât know those items were not provided so we had to make a quick unexpected run to the store the night we arrived. The main hotel has WiFi but it is not as convenient. Thanks for having us.
The cabin was beautiful and had plenty of space. The only disappointment was it took four voice messages to the property manager before getting a reply back to check in. Property manager said she sent me an email giving us the house # and code to get in, but I never received it before leaving on our trip. I checked my spam and junk mail and no email there either. But once that was cleared up all went very well and I would highly recommend it to my friends and family.
Condition and cleanliness of the home was a disappointment. Living area floor is in poor condition. Beds and couch/sofa were uncomfortable. Hair in upstairs shower, bathroom rugs and kitchen potholders were dirty.
We had a wonderful stay at this property but, there were a couple of less than satisfactory problems. I realize this is the end of the season but I wanted to mention these things so they can get taken care of. We would be happy to stay here again as there was plenty of room for our group of 8 adults. And everyone was impressed with the property.
For these following reasons I could not give 5 stars, but would give 4+1/2stars if I could:
1. The grills were atrociously filthy and unusable. Didnât appear to have ever been attended to (old coals, old bits of meet, dirty cooking surfaces). Luckily, we had decided not to grill for our daughterâs birthday before we got there.
2. Master bedroom toilet kept clogging and plunging did not take care of the problem. It never overflowed but slowly drained, leaving paper in the bowl.
3. A leaking furnace/AC unit kept the rug at the back door in the garage wet.
4. A broken toilet paper holder in the 1/2 bath
5. Air return in hallway was quite dirty.
These things didnât take away from the great weekend that we had, because we were so busy. It might be a problem for those spending the majority of their time in the unit. Still, an awesome time was had by all!
Thanks from the Smith Family McGraths
Overall, we had a great time and the cabin fit our family perfectly. We were very disappointed that many of the amenities advertised in the listing were not available -- and were not made known to us until two days before our trip, when it was too late to make alternate arrangements. The pool directly behind the cabin is closed and was actually drained while we were onsite. The main outdoor pool operates day to day and the resort staff doesn't have any information about whether it will or won't open and, if so, at what time, which makes it very difficult to make any plans with kids. The main pool did not open at all Wednesday or Thursday. It opened Friday but not until 2 (vs noon, which is the advertised time). When you have small kids who were counting on swimming on vacation, this was quite a drawback.
We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was just perfect and location was great! The place was clean and had everything we needed. Had to contact the owners regarding the grill and they got right back to us. Hoping that we will be able to come back next year!!
Great cabin! Awesome location to the pool! Had a large family spending time together and the set up of beds and cabin was great! Maybe could use a couple more towels, but would definitely stay again!
