10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time at this VRBO. The house was beautiful and easy to keep clean. well stocked with essentials. The location was perfect and convenient to everything we did. Okaboji was a great short vacation for our family, and the kids had a blast. They loved that the lower-level basement which was perfect for sleeping, watching kid TV and playing games in the game room. It couldn't have been more perfect for kids and adults."
