Super 8 by Wyndham Spirit Lake/Okoboji

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice staff"

Barleans-Cozy Cabin Conveniently Located

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay! The place was very clean, spacious, and perfect for our group of four adults. It had one comfortable bed and two good-sized pullout couches, which gave everyone plenty of room to sleep.The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils, pots, and pans we needed to cook our meals, and the grill was a great bonus. Check-in was simple and hassle-free, making the whole experience smooth from the start.One thing we really appreciated was the driveway and parking. There was plenty of room, and it easily accommodated our boat trailer, which can be hard to find. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you’re traveling with a boat."

"This is an excellent property, with fantastic amenities and an absolutely beautiful view of the lake. The vibes here are immaculate. I love the trees and the back porch overlooking the lake and the dock the most. The neighbors are so friendly and polite, and the location is wonderful, very close to all of the activities we were interested in. We look forward to coming back soon!"
