About this property
Waterfront Retreat | Millers Bay Canal Getaway
Summary:
Enjoy lake life with an Aussie coastal twist at this renovated waterfront cottage on the Millers Bay Canals in Okoboji (Wahpeton).
• Relaxed beach house style with a fresh coastal feel
• Private dock with direct access to the water
• Kayaks and stand-up paddleboard ready for lake adventures
• Perfect for families and friends wanting a laid-back getaway
The Space:
Welcome to your Okoboji lake getaway, tucked away on the peaceful Millers Bay Canals of West Lake Okoboji in Wahpeton. This spacious family home is all about enjoying the simple things, mornings by the water, afternoons on the lake, and evenings gathered around the fire.
The private dock is the heart of the home, giving guests the freedom to bring their boat or jet ski and make the most of lake life. Spend the day exploring West Lake Okoboji, cruise across the water to Arnold’s Park, head out for dinner at one of the nearby waterfront spots, or simply relax by the canal and watch the boats go by.
The home offers three comfortable bedrooms:
The master bedroom features a king bed and beautiful views over the water
The second bedroom has a queen bed and private half bathroom
The third bedroom has a queen bed
The main bathroom sits between the two queen bedrooms and includes a bathtub with shower
The large eat-in kitchen is well equipped for family meals, slow breakfasts, and everything in between. Enjoy your morning coffee from the Nespresso machine on the outdoor patio, fire up the BBQ for dinner, or finish the day around the fire pit overlooking the water.
Whether you’re visiting Okoboji in summer for boating, swimming, and kayaking, or in winter for ice fishing and skating, this is a home made for slowing down and spending quality time together.
Guest Access:
There is a locked box at the property and the code will be given on the morning of arrival.
Parking for two cars is available on the driveway and one car in the garage.
Feel free to bring your boat. There is no boat hoist but you can tie your boat to the dock as the water remains lovely and calm in the canals.
The Neighborhood:
Located on Kansas Ave, Wahpeton in the Miller’s Bay canals by West Lake.
You’ll enjoy the bike/walking trails, direct lake access and being able to walk the national park area and lakeside trails. You will find maps and more information about places to eat and things to do in the area inside the cottage in the local Okoboji magazine.
