Ice Fishing Trip

Perfect location for an Okoboji area ice fishing trip. Plenty of space and beds for us. Garage was nice to be able to dry and sort gear after we got off the ice.

Host responds to questions quickly

Access to lake is limited. Host was nice to offer use of bikes in the garage. But the handle bars are broken, creating a unsafe ride

Clean and well taken care of inside and out! Very kid friendly our grandkids loved it! Bikes and fishing poles in the garage, and a kayak too! The hosts here have thought of everything! Even the smallest things like soft comfy throw blankets in the living room area! The washer and dryer was a huge plus with 3 small children! The grill and fire pit with firewood there for us and all the grilling utensils! Absolutely everything about the Good Life cabin was top notch! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Perfect Location

Four of us came to Boji for a 4-day ice fishing trip in January. This place is excellent and fit all of our needs perfectly. You’re within minutes of all the major lakes, restaurants, stores, and attractions. The host, Tracy, is fantastic and she does a wonderful job with the cabin. The cabin was exceptionally well stocked with every amenity you could expect in a rental. Would recommend to everyone, no matter the season or occasion. I would give it 10/5 stars if the weather was better on our trip! (Came up during a blizzard and sub zero temps)

Perfect little cabin

Perfect cabin for husband and I to work remote for the week. Ample room and would have been great for a family. Loved the large amount of bath towels and kitchen dishes/supplies. The listing was pretty spot on with lots of extra amenities (bikes, games, ets). We stayed during off season, so town was low key, but still a lot of stores/restaurants. Would recommend for sure!

This cabin was super cute, comfortable, clean, and the location to the waterpark and community pool are perfect. The binder was useful in finding things to do and how to do things. We enjoyed the bikes and would stay here again :)

We had a very nice time at the resort and on this property. I did give it 4 stars because if I owned this property and hired someone to clean it for my guests I would stress details such as inside cupboards and under cushions. We did have a storm and one window leaked substantially but that happens and no fault to the owner who was very responsive to our call.

Family owned cabin.

Why they chose this property

Our family is very excited to own a piece of Okoboji. We have been visiting the area for years. In 2020 we decided to purchase a property. We are happy to be sharing our vacation home with others.

What makes this property unique

The backyard view is wonderful. The cabin backs up to an open area. We often see deer, rabbits, frogs, and birds. One of the best locations and views in the neighborhood. Private with lots of green space to play yard games.
