Very good value for cost, all facilities worked well, exceptionally clean and convenient---thumbs up
Pros:

Breakfast was basic but very well organized and timed to every guest's schedule.
Very quiet and far enough off the main traffic to be restful and relaxed

Cons:

No issues with anything----everything was above average for the price and convenience

Overall good. Price was high but busy weekend in Lake Okoboji.
Pros:

Clean and nice rooms. Staff was great. Very nice and attentive.

Cons:

Trash out side and people smoking which didn't really bother me just no ashtrays outside. On thing the side door didn't lock so anyone could go in and out as they pleased.

If you are heathy and want an affordable place to stay, this would meet your requirements.
Pros:

Wonderful, helpful owners.

Cons:

For a handicapped room, the bed was too high for me to get in without my husband helping me. They were short staffed so we had to ask for items like coffee, shampoo, towels, Kleenex to be replenished (we had a three night stay).

Awful
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

They are charging us $50 for supposed bloodstains on towels that I know for a fact weren’t made by us. Spoke with Joe and all he wanted to do was argue with me and not listen to reason and blame us. The towels were already “yellowed” when we got there.

Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Place was freezing cold, had odor like mold or stale cigarette smoke. No hot tub, even though website said had one. Was cheap but realized why we were 1 of only 2 rooms booked.

Not a very nice stay for the money we paid. Bed was comfortable that's about the only good thing.
Cons:

The room was not thoroughly cleaned. There were clothes still in the room on the floor that didn't belong to us. The air conditioner was loud and leaked water

Very clean and great value overall!
Pros:

Very clean!
Stayed there two summers ago and it smelled and was disgusting. This time it was very clean. Staff was helpful and friendly. Love the chair in the rooms. Beds were very comfortable.

It shows its age but overall my needs were met.

Cons:

The person at reception told me what more could I ask for the price. When I told him the beds were stained and dirty, he ordered them to be changed, but not in a good way. I had to explain why they were like that. I think quality shouldn't be confused with price in something as important as cleanliness.
