Top Spirit Lake Hotel Reviews

Travelodge by Wyndham Spirit Lake/Okoboji

10/10 Excellent

"The room fit our need perfectly. Very accommodating by putting us in a two bed room so our dogs were comfortable. Only charged us for one which was unexpected but appreciated."

Taj West 7-bedroom home in Monarch Cove near West Okoboji Lake

10/10 Excellent

"With 21 people all staying in the same home, it went very well. A little difficult to find for some, but I posted signs along the way. There is nothing you can do about the location The deck was great for "gathering of the men."

Spacious 3-bedroom lake front house in Okoboji

10/10 Excellent

"This was a beautiful place to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. It was very easy to find and get settled in. We had 5 adults and 5 kids and there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The deck and patio are wonderful and the view was fantastic. The kitchen on the main floor is huge and the kitchen on the lower is so handy. I was able to contact the host before check-in and ask a few questions about what we might need to pack and she was very responsive during and after our stay as well. We hope we have the opportunity to stay here again! It was the perfect lake getaway!"
