Cozy little Getaway

This was a fantastic studio-like place to stay! My fiancé & I went up to the Winter Games & this was so close to all the activities & places we wanted to go. I would recommend staying here to anyone wanting a cute cozy place to stay!The only thing I will say, the door we had to pull tighter than normal to make sure the lock would work but even that wasn’t bothersome!

Great Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at Boji Cottage. It was comfortable, clean, and we relaxed here after our hikes. The owners were wonderful and we received a very quick response in our communications. I highly recommend Boji Cottage for anyone staying in this area.

It was cute. Just right for one or a couple. Easy access to Hwy. 86. I was enjoying the Lakeside Labs and Lakeshore Center. Also got to the Arts Center.

Like a private hotel room!

Very accommodating having a place to park the boat and charge the batteries. The only thing we could ask for is a better curtain on the front door because you can see straight in at night.

Weekend in okoboji

Location was great! Clean, check-in was easy! Only recommendations would to be update the pictures to the current furniture- our kids were going to sleep on the sectional and it wasn’t there anymore (couch and chair/chaise combo now), and the beads hanging on the door were very loud.

We enjoyed our stay!

Property was clean and close to everywhere we needed to go. Remote batteries died and my son wanted to watch tv while we waited out the rain. Owner, John was there within minutes to deliver new batteries. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would use the property again!

Will come back again!

We loved this little cottage for the location. It’s proximity to the canals is great especially since my sister lives just a few blocks away. We enjoyed using the park and tennis courts right next to the cottage. It is in a quiet little area but is just a few minutes from all the action in Okoboji. The property was very clean and well appointed. The only snag was that the batteries were low in the wireless lock but the owner came over immediately to replace them. We will definitely book this property again.
