4 Bedroom House in West Okoboji, Arnolds Park

This lakefront home allows you to enjoy the best of lake living with your family. Dedicated 62' lakeshore, private dock, and 5,000lb hoist - live the dream without the capital or pain of ownership.
This special retreat was originally built as a three bedroom, one bathroom cottage in the 1930's. A large kitchen, spacious great room, and master bedroom were added in 1994 - all with big lake views! Updates completed in May 2024 include fresh paint throughout the house, new carpet, and all new furnishings.
Ideally located in Browns Bay, you can easily walk or bike through the quaint neighborhood to Arnolds Park Amusement Park less than one mile away for fine dining, concerts, shopping, and more!
Stunning sunsets nightly from the dock or house.

Summary: We had a fantastic five-week stay this summer at this beautiful home in Okoboji. The location was ideal—just a short walk to both Arnold’s Park amusement park and Taco House, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peaceful lakefront sunsets every evening.The house itself was perfect for our family. With four functional bedrooms, including a spacious primary bedroom with stunning lake views, there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. One of the bedrooms was especially large and had three closets, which worked perfectly for our three young daughters. The kitchen and living room were comfortable and great for relaxing or sharing meals, and the pantry was a nice bonus for a longer stay. The laundry area was conveniently located near the bedrooms, which made everything easy.Swimming off the end of the dock was a highlight for the kids, and the boat hoist was much appreciated. The air conditioning kept us cool on those hot Iowa days, and the three-car garage gave us plenty of space for our vehicle and bikes.Kristin and Cory were wonderful hosts—accommodating, generous, and always responsive. This was truly a fabulous place for a family gathering at the lake, and we’re grateful for the memories we made here.Highly recommend!
