"This was our first trip to the Okoboji area and we enjoyed our weekend at your Country Inn! Annabelle's Suite was a quiet, cozy room and we loved the comfy mattress! Enjoyed the wine, cheese, crackers and cookies. We really felt welcomed. It was nice being just a short drive to the lake, restaurants, and shops. Thanks again for the delicious breakfasts! We will be sure to tell our friends about the Country Inn (great decorating!) and your warm hospitality!"

"What a wonderful place to come on our wedding night! We absolutely loved the room and can't wait to come back when we have more time to relax and enjoy ourselves rather than our 1:30am arrival. Thanks for making us feel at home and so comfortable on our first night as husband and wife!"

"My husband and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary. It was just us two away for a couple nights. We loved the Country Inn, friendly hosts and a beautiful place, very relaxing! Annabelle's Suite was everything and more. We loved lunch at the Taco House across the way. The best meal of course was in the tea room for breakfast. We can't wait to tell our friends and family what a great time we had and we will be back! Thanks so much!"

"I brought my Mother here with me because she's retired and I knew she would love this charming B & B. Although I was here for business, I was able to get some shopping in at the quaint gift shop-loved it! Ann is so personable and makes an absolutely delicious breakfast! Okoboji Country Inn is definitely a hidden treasure, but not for long! We will spread the word!"

"Here for the Victory Motorcycle Rally! Your inn was such a blessing after the riding and the crowds and the noise! Quiet and comfy. We've stayed in several B & B's over the last few years and found yours to be the most thoughtfully planned of all- from the snacks to the placement of books in the room! Thank you! We will be back, hopefully with more friends next time! May you and your family be blessed."
