It was a good stay over all. I just didn’t get the attachment with that email about the house Manual so I couldn’t look at that.

The check in and check out instructions were very clear and simple to follow, which made for an easy stay!
The home has new appliances and everything was clean and up to date, so it felt very comfortable and homey.
As a bachelorette party, we had plenty of room and were able to enjoy each other's company in the awesome living area, which had a large sectional and plenty of other seating options for us to hang out and chat!
Thank you to the great hosts for a memorable weekend!

This is our 2nd time staying at The Boathouse. This is an annual trip to see family and there isn’t a better place to stay. The house is awesome. Very comfortable for multiple families. The location is amazing. 2 blocks from Arnold’s Park, the beach, Emporium and all the restaurants and bars on Broadway. Park your car and leave it you won’t need it. Larry and Mark are great. Super responsive with questions. We won’t stay anywhere else!

Great location & place. The only thing we ran short on was toilet paper & paper towels. We were going to the store so we just picked some up. We always enjoy staying there.
Our family is growing so we may have to look for a bigger place.

These are conveniently located to within walking distance to Arnold’s Park, Oak Hill Marina and beach areas. We rented both properties and it was plenty of space for our whole family. We had an issue with some tvs not working and the owners responded quickly to help with a fix. We would absolutely come back to these properties!

We loved your accommodations! The beds were comfortable! The location is fantastic- we walked almost everywhere we wanted to go. Plenty of room for all of us to sit around. We do want to let you know there were quite a few big ants in the bathrooms. Overall just wonderful!

Great location in Arnold's Park!

The property is in a great location for all activities in Arnolds Park. A quaint house with generous bedrooms but not lots of group or gathering space. The kitchen had most of what was needed but we did have to reset a breaker for the oven to work. The back yard is a good size with simple chairs. The grill worked well. We were also able to comfortably park 3 cars on the premises. Overall I would request this property again.

We loved staying at Mark’s property! It was clean and roomy for a group of 8 of us. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The living room couch was also large and perfect for us to all gather and catch up! Mark was extra accommodating by allowing us to check in 2 hours early. We enjoyed the outdoor picnic table and chairs. It was close to Arnold’s Park, The Emporium, great restaurants and bars. We are locals, but it was the perfect place for us to all meet up and be within walking distance to so many places! We will definitely stay again!

The house provided a great place to gather with our kids. Very clean and updated. It was a short walk to the lake and the Arnold’s Park area. A short drive to other things we wanted to go to.

This location was amazing for Arnold’s Park Amusement park - we walked back and forth several times. The house was clean and had everything we needed. Yard was a little small to be able to play bags or ladder ball but we made it work! Overall great weekend and property!

Amazing property! Loved the location
10.0
The Boathouse was a terrific choice for our family. It is clean, well appointed. If you're interested in going to the amusement park at Arnold's Park... the location is perfect... easily walkable and yet far enough away for quiet. There is also a wonderful city park a block away that has a playground equipment for the little ones and a shelter with lots of picnic tables. We used the park for a family reunion. We rate the Boathouse with Five Stars and would go back again. While we didn't use it, there is also an enjoining property available for additional guests.

We liked being in walking distance of Arnold’s park, shopping, bars & restaurants.
It was good. Ran out of trash bags, but the property manager delivered some the next day. He was very accommodating. We did run out of paper towels towards the end. Would’ve been nice to have Kleenex’s in the bathroom. Overall it was a great experience.

Better than expected!
Exceeded our expectations. Most of our family got together and had plenty of room. Close to everything. We walked to Arnold's Park, the beach,mini golf, shopping and bars & restaurants. Looks to be freshly remodeled. Fire pit in the backyard was a plus! A big stock of board games. The upstairs TV area could use chairs or a small couch. Will try to stay again if we go back!

Adorable Home With Everything You Need
This property had everything we needed for a fun family vacation in Okoboji. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots and pans, dish ware, etc. The amount of space was great for 4 couples, 2 kids and 2 infants. We loved being walking distance from the amusement park, wine bar and coffee shops on Broadway. We would definitely stay again. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home!

Beautiful home!
We had an incredible time in Okoboji and this home was incredible to stay in! We had 12 women in the house and had no issues with space. It is super close to many fun areas in the town. The hosts were excellent to work with and had plenty of towels, phone chargers, etc. throughout the house. We were worried about bothering the adjoining side of the house, but there's no real direct connection between the two sides so they didn't even know we were there! Will definitely book here again on our next stay!

Look no further, this is the BEST!
This place gets an 11 out of 10! We had a wonderful time staying here with extended family. Super clean. Beautiful amenities. Fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. Lots of toys and games for our three kiddos under 6 (which was such a blessing). Location was perfect- didn’t need to get in the car once- we walked everywhere! Also hosts were amazing. Super quick communication and even gave us places to visit for eat/drink and fun. We will definitely be making this house a yearly stay! Thank you!!
