“We just returned from a week at Sandy Beach Retreat on Big Spirit Lake. The people at Okoboji Vacation Company were polite, friendly, and helpful throughout our reservation process. Check in/check out was effortless and the easiest we've ever experienced. We had ten adults and four children and we had plenty of space. The property was clean and exremely well stocked. We had a few hours of rain a couple of days but there was plenty of indoor space for games, ping pong, reading, and conversation. We enjoyed kayaking, canoeing, boating, tubing, floating, and fishing off the dock. We enjoyed the great dock, deck, and fire ring. We're making reservations for Sandy Beach Retreat through Okoboji Vacation Company for summer of 2026! This is a perfect lake retreat!”
“Ben and his wife were lovely hosts at this small town hotel in a rural area. The location isn't great if you're looking for lake life. But very close to the wedding venue for us. The hosts were very accommodating to the large number of guests who all knew each other staying there for a family wedding. Our room was clean and decently set-up with amenities. The gathering 'family room' in the lobby worked well for family to visit. I overslept and didn't get breakfast, which unfortunately stopped at 9am - on weekends too. The mattress was cozy and I slept well. The mini fridge and microwave were nice in room additions. I think there was a little coffee maker but we didn't use it.”
“Had a slight problem with the A/C icing up on a really hot humid day. We called and they were at our cabin in five minutes to get it fixed. Friendly people and a fun place to stay.”
“Always good service. They tell you what you need to know and where you should go instead of running all over the lake guessing. Also have the best bait in the area as well as any fishing supplies you will need a well as find and ammo. It's worth a drive to get what you need.”
