Hi,
We%26#39;re thinking of spending a week at Lake Okoboji-- 3 generations. Any recommendations of resorts or hotels? I think I would like to get a cabin at a resort with water access, possibly some boating or other activities, and near to restaurants, etc., but I am really open to any suggestion :-)
Thanks,
Julie
Lake Okoboji recommendations?Hi Julie,
My name is Darci Farnum and I live about 18 mi from the Lakes. I would be happy to help you with info
and let you know about what%26#39;s available in the area.
My family stayed at Fillenwarth Beach which has a website when Googled. It has cabins, an indoor pool and beach and have several boats. We took an afternoon cruise with the whole family, which was LOTS of fun!
It%26#39;s within walking distance of Arnold%26#39;s Park and the Emporium (a little shopping area) and one of my favorite restaurants (Gepettos sp?). Their website is fillenwarthbeach.com
You may also want to try The Inn, which I am not as familiar with.
The Arrow Wood Resort is right next to a very nice golf course and has an indoor pool and fitness center and restaurant I also like (Minervas).
The Arnolds Park area has a little shopping and boat/jet ski rental area. There is a State park (Gull Point) that has a very nice lodge, camping etc. on the West edge of the lake.
If anyone likes wine, my friends Scott and Diane Benjamin own a winery about 12 miles from the Lakes. They will host events for your group or they have events scheduled on most weekends through October.
Please let me know if you need more information, phone numbers, etc. I am happy to help.
I was online looking for spots to hold my 25th Class ReU when I ran across your post.
:) Have a nice evening!

Hii Julie.
Lake Okoboji is a great spot. It is unpretentious but fun. We stay at West Oaks. It is a condo complex. There are units overlooking the water, and units across the street overlooking two swimming pools. It is a block west of the Fillenwarth which someone else told you about, and a block east of an historic amusement park with a vintage wooden roller coaster. West Oaks is a complex of 2 bedroom, 2 bath condos that sleep 6 (with a pull out sofa in the living room.) We have a time-share with a lakeside balcony and floor-to-ceiling windows. The sunsets are amazing. West Oaks has boat hoists and docks. We have a boat but you can rent one at any of the many marinas. Although West Oaks is a timeshare facility, it also rents by the night or week. http://www.westoaksresort.com/ There are many restaurants and bars within walking distance. I also understand that many families rent a townhouse or cabin at Village West. http://www.villagewestresort.com/index.html
