Top Elinor Bedell State Park Hotel Reviews

Rock`n Reel Lake House on East Lake Okoboji (Lakefront)

10/10 Excellent

"Cute place, had everything we needed, and we loved the lake view!! Clean and easy check-in and out!"

Charming remodeled 4-Bedroom home with fire pit

10/10 Excellent

"Great house- lots of room. Very clean. Nice backyard. Would definitely stay there again."

Sleeps 7|Newly Built 3BD 2BTH| Kid+Pet Friendly

10/10 Excellent

"Over all it was a great property, Some things I was not expecting Bathroom has a unique layout that I was not expecting for my visit with my Adult children and their Girlfriends. It was difficult to see the door keypad at night when entering we had to use phone flashlights. The guest next door would park right in front of the stairs making it a little dificult to bring luggaage in."

Hidden Creek delivers a setting that feels away from everything - still being close to the action

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay amenities and cleanliness wise, however, the number of beds is inaccurate on the listing. It reads there is a King, Queen, 2 twin bunk beds, & twin bed for a total of 7 mattresses. Rented this place for a fishing tournament for 6 guys that we would each have our own beds. Arrived and one of the bunk bed and the twin are not present so only had 4 mattresses for 6 guys... Also, messaged host before booking that we would have 3 trucks and 3 boats and if there was enough parking (from the photo of concrete outside it appeared there would be) and they assured us enough parking. Picture was very misleading (taken in .5 zoom), concrete was 30' x 30' enough to unhook one boat in the garage, unhook one boat outside, squeeze two trucks in remaining parking, and our third truck and boat had to park 15 min away at other friends rental that had room. If 4 beds, parking for 3-4 vehicles max, and want good proximity to the lakes and town, this place was fantastic in all those aspects!"

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the house, location, and the property! We had a party of 3 adults and the rest were kiddos and it worked out really well. Communication with the host was proactive and simple. We make 2 trips to Okoboji every year and we will keep an eye out for this property in the future in hopes that it'll be available again for us! Thanks for the great vacation rental!"
