Cozy and playful resort

We stayed here 1 night to check out the Okoboji area. The room was clean and the bed comfy. It was a chilly night so they had a real wood firepit burning outside. It was too breezy to play any of the various yard games they had out.

Comfortable stay

Was a quick getaway. Since offseason the place was not busy and quiet. Just what I wanted and needed. Room was sufficient and close to food and other amenities. Only down side there was no ice machine and difficult to get ice of office was closed.

First, management had to open the door to my room because there was a problem and it had to be pushed, pulled and lifted up to open. Tiny room and TV uses apps that you must sign into with your own sign-in info. The mattress had to have been 30 or more years old. The mattress was so soft I couldn't sit on the edge of the bed without sliding off. There were so many hard lumps in the mattress, I woke up with a sore neck and shoulders. This was probably the worst bed I have ever slept in. There was a body pillow with no pillow cover on it lying on the bed, gross. Tiny room with furnishings most likely purchased at a garage sale; old, chipped and cracked. Had to go to front office to get ice and handed out in gallon zip-loc bag.Very odd place, nice people, with interesting outside amenities. Good place to get drunk and party with friends outside in the "fire-pit" area.If this room cost $69 I'd say a decent deal, you get what you pay for, but at over $150, a rip-off.

There is a center location that all rooms face that has a small fire pit, grill, corn hole, surry bikes, pic nic tables, pool, all ages table games, free breakfast items, & optional lunch & new bar. There is a gas station a very short distant from the Inn. The staff is very very friendly. You won't be disappointed!
