Stay-Cation

The stay-cation was a great place for our large group to stay. The location does not get any better. The amount of bedrooms and space it offers for a big group is amazing. Check in/Check out is easy and convenient. If you are in Okoboji with a large group, I highly suggest the stay-cation.

Great Place to stay!

The place was very clean and well maintained. They have pretty much everything you need- coffee maker, full kitchen with utensils and spices, games, towels, washer and dryer, etc. We only stayed 1 night, but it would be a wonderful place to stay a whole week! Close to the lake and walkable distance to downtown.

Great Location

This house could fit a group of 10 with ease. Great location in walking distance to several local attractions and very quiet. All utensils and anything needed cooking wise can be found here. The whole group agreed that we would stay here again.

Amazing for large groups! You all get your own space but yet can all be together. Pictures don’t serve it justice, it’s better in person and location is perfect to get to “all the things.”

Host profile image
Hi. Im Sherri Jones and I manage the Stay Properties. We are located in Arnolds Park, Iowa. We currently have 14 properties and adding 3 more the winter of 2022. I am on call to help make your visit pleasant while in the Okoboji area.

Why they chose this property

This property is for large group accommodations satisfying those large families, friends, wedding parties, bachelor-bachelorette parties and more who are too often separated by different hotels and different accommodations. And talk about location?? Wow, what a location!

What makes this property unique

No other place in Okoboji provides quite this style of accommodations for this size of group.
