Top Iowa Great Lakes Hotel Reviews

Bridges Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Every aspect was great…thanks"

Bring ALL of your family and friends to stay at the Central Stay Cation in Arnolds Park!

10/10 Excellent

"We had 30 adults stay comfortably. Great gathering space and private bedrooms. It was clean, well decorated and in a great area. Messaged the host a couple times prior to the stay and always received a quick response."

Village West Resort & Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We only had time for a 2 day visit to Iowa's great lakes. Mit Chaudri and the staff were phenomenal! In spite of a prebooked wedding party and associatesld events, one room was reserved for us. We loved the room, and delicious full breakfast. We were relaxed and grateful! We will be back next spring!"

Cozy Lakeside Retreat with Beach Access, Scenic Views & Endless Amenities

8/10 Good

"It is a good location and decent size home in a very cute neighborhood. My only complaint is that the house felt very well loved at the end of the season. Several missing light bulbs, a shower drain that filled up quickly, a broken door, missing knobs and bent up vents. I would have loved if the light switches were labeled as they were somewhat confusing. Don't let any of these things keep you from booking just a few things for the owner to keep in mind for end of season in the future. Overall we enjoyed our stay."

Lounge at the Lake with 6 waterpark passes! 50% off rate for 28 day min. stay.

8/10 Good

"Nice, clean property, family friendly! Appreciated the great communication from host and being able to check out late. Only suggestions would be minor little things to make it feel more like home (have also experienced at other vacation rentals): more kitchen towels (there were only 2 for hand drying/dishes), a night light, pen/paper, beach towels, coffee pods, soap/shampoo. Also, the bed in the bedroom was too soft for my liking. Be aware that due to the structure of the house, there are no curtains for the top/A part of the structure so sleeping upstairs exposes you to all of the bright lights from other houses/windmill lights at night (there is a small curtain but it doesn't block everything) and all outdoor light throughout the day. Overall, a great little place!"
