The Vintage Block is awesome. It's clearly an older 60s/70s style motel, but the owners have stuck a ton of money and love into it. It's immaculately clean, and the decor is fresh and inviting. It's location is top notch to all the fun stuff around okoboji, and the management clearly cares about its customers.

This was our first time staying here and for sure won’t be our last! Great location, walking distance to a gas station & dock to get on the boat. Perfect complimentary breakfast - waffles, bagels, toast, cereal, donut holes, yogurt & granola, coffee & juice. They have a great patio, entertainment and bar area. The pool is clean and has an awesome fire pit area with grills you can use. Beds were comfortable, my daughter loved the twin bed she got to herself in our room. All in all the place has a great vibe and friendly staff!

My family had an awesome stay. We loved the pool and the lawn games. It was an extremely hot weekend but our room stayed nice and cool. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We were there Thursday-saturday so we were also able to enjoy the on-site restaurant and bar with live music! A few things to note that might not work for everyone is that the pool hours are only 9am-830pm and breakfast is either waffles or a few muffin/bread options. The on-site bikes are for use only within their property. We were able to walk to the donut shop down the street but walking all the way to the Arnold's Park area as one reviewer mentioned would be a bit of a trek. We can't wait to come back!
