NICE hotel at Okoboji

My husband%26#39;s family is planning a trip to Okoboji and I%26#39;d like some reccomendations as to NICE hotel options. I%26#39;ve done some looking and most of what I find seems to be family oriented and not well kept. I';ve never been anywhere near Okoboji and so have no idea what I am in for! Any ideas? Thanks!

NICE hotel at Okoboji

Yes, lodging in the Okoboji area is mostly family oriented, as it is a vacation destination in the midwest, encompassing the Iowa Great Lakes. You%26#39;ll find a wealth in information on the area by googling ';Okoboji, Iowa';, which you%26#39;ve probably already done.

Some places you could check out:

www.arrowwood-okoboji.com (not on the Lake)

www.americinn.com (this isn%26#39;t either)

www.villagewestresort.com ( this is lakefront)

www.bojifun.com (site of The Inn at Okoboji, on the Lake)

The above places are on/near West Lake Okoboji. There is also a new resort on East Lake Okoboji, found at www.bridgesbayresort.com

There are many things to do(or not!) in the area: Arnolds Park Amusement Park, with the oldest wooden roller coaster still operating west of the Mississippi; any type of water sport you can imagine including parasailing; lots of shopping(I%26#39;ve heard there are more antiques shops concentrated within a 20-mile area of the Lake that anywhere else in the US!); many good restaurants(local ones that aren%26#39;t part of any chain except a new Perkins); a widely known professional summer theater celebrating their 50th Anniversary this year. Depending on when your trip is to Okoboji there will be other things to do.

I hope this gives you some more info for your trip!
