“While the property presents itself as a resort, it leans more towards a comfortable motel, which is reflected in its pricing, particularly outside the peak season. The genuine warmth of the staff, evident in helpful interactions from check-in to on-site dining, stands out, and the convenient on-site pizza and chicken spot is a welcome addition. Proximity to key Okoboji attractions is a definite plus.”
