    Innkeeper Information

    Innkeepers Description:

    Innkeeper Donna opened her gift shop in 1978, on the family farm in the old wash house. A few years later she relocated to the Iowa Great Lakes area and in 1997 her daughter Ann joined the business. The 1908 Milford Hospital was moved in and after a huge renovation the store is now three floors of gifts with a charming tea room. The Okoboji Country Inn was the latest addition to the village and opened for business in 2008. The innkeepers have a passion for restoring old houses.

    Complimentary Perks

    • Wine/Cheese Plate

    Signature Dish

    Asparagus Quiche
    My tea room guests at Annabelle's Tea Room have enjoyed my quiche for over 10 years. Now the guests staying at Okoboji Country Inn can also. I vary my quiche depending on what my guests want, from Quiche Lorraine which is a bacon and cheese quiche to the Southwest Quiche which has tomatoes, carrots, red and green peppers in it. I also serve a Crab Quiche, but the most popular is my Asparagus Quiche and is great for vegetarians too.

    The innkeeper made our stay--so friendly and told us of places of interest in the area--she was very knowledgeable! Our breakfasts were outstanding, and our rooms were very quiet and relaxing.

    My stay at the Okoboji Country Inn was excellent. The food was wonderful and I had a very restful nice stay. I was in a room with a shared bath and it was not inconvenient in any way. I will certainly stay there again on my next trip to Okoboji.

    It was our first bed and breakfast experience. We were lucky because there was only one other person staying there and the owners are not in house. So we had run of the house. Ann was just wonderful to us and really enjoyed her delicious gourment breakfast every morning.
