    The most wonderful bed and breakfast!

    September 11, 2012

    Then rooms are clean and beautiful. My husband and I felt very comfortable staying there. The food provided for breakfast was the best my husband I have ever had, along with the cookies made for snacks! My husband and I plan to come back again. Everyone was nice and made the experience wonderful!

    I am a repeat guest and have thoroughly enjoyed each of my stays. Ann and Donna are great. They make you feel right at home. Breakfast is a delight. The Okoboji Country Inn is within a 10-15 minute walking distance to Arnolds Park and West Lake Okoboji. It is also located close to the bicycle trail system. Things to do in the Lakes area are endless.

    Peaceful and Quiet, yet close to everything!

    August 06, 2012

    First time to Okoboji, stayed at the Okoboji Country Inn. Easy to find and I really loved how close I was to everything (I walked or biked) but it was quiet and peaceful! The rooms are more beautiful than the pictures show and the breakfast was spectactular, really yummy and fun! I was full but it was so good that I ate everything! I hope to make this an annual event to stay at the Okoboji Country Inn. Owners Donna and Ann really make this Inn special, thank you! I came away feeling like I was leaving long time friends.

    Donna and Ann Muilenburg

    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.

    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.
