The Oakwood Inn 23131 Nature Center Road, Spirit Lake, IA 51360

"Went for wifes birthday. Originally had it scheduled for one day and due to potential weather had to reschedule. Owners were easy work with to fix our issue. Location is fantastic and even though cooler out we walked the grounds to look around. Wife thought it was amazing to watch the deer running around. Hot tub was bigger than we assumed, and I added a cheese cake for my wife since I don't bake, and the wife thought it tasted so good. Wife really enjoyed the coffee for the K cup machine. We went to the den and played pool. Next morning we went for breakfast in the dining room. Was first class service, nothing like ever had before, and the food was tasty. The wife is already thinking of other trips she wants to make to the Oakwood Inn"

"We loved our relaxing stay at Oakwood Inn! The location is close to town, yet quiet & secluded. It is close a Nature Center and nice walking trails. The rooms were large, clean, very comfortable and quiet. The homedade breakfast each morning was yummy! The owners are so hospitable, available & non intrusive! We will look forward to the next time our travels take us to Okoboji & when we can go back to the Oakwood Inn!!"

"Beautiful setting. Romantic getaway. Large comfortable rooms. Delicious breakfast. Quiet. Highly recommend for a nice getaway. Thanks again for all your effort into making this a very pleasant place to stay."

"Went on a women's retreat here and it was fantastic. The rooms were perfect with jacuzzis which I loved. The service was wonderful. And the breakfast was awesome too. We are planning on coming again next year. Can't wait. We also walked the trails too. Had to be a little careful cause this time if winter you can expect a little ice and snow but for the most part it was just wet. I took several pictures on the walk. Saw a few deer and a buffalo statue that looks real from afar. Pretty Neat-O! Thanks for everything Oakwood Inn."

"We absolutely love this place. The rooms are beautiful and well cared for, the hosts are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is absolutely delicious. It’s a great mix of classic rustic B&B style but with modern conveniences and amenities. My wife and I have stayed here twice in the offseason just to get away and we’ll definitely come back again."
