Home Away From Home

Whether you are enjoying a day at the lake, playing a round of golf, or touring Okoboji’s numerous antique and gift shops, you will find many adventures close by. Guests enjoy the culture of Okoboji at the various museums, the Nature Center, and the Pearson Lakes Performing Arts Center. Tours of local vineyards and craft breweries are just a short drive from our Okoboji inn, and offer the perfect way to spend some time during your romantic getaway in Iowa.

After a day of enjoying all Okoboji has to offer, come back to The Oakwood Inn and relax on your spacious veranda, walk-out patio, in The Den, or wander around the various gardens. We offer plenty of gorgeous and thoughtful spaces for you to spend some time throughout your romantic getaway in Iowa. The peaceful sounds of the garden waterfall and stream are known to lull guests into blissful relaxation.  Our wonderful amenities have helped us receive more reviews than any other hotel in Okoboji or Spirit Lake area.

Guest Suites

The owners strive to provide an intimate and peaceful hotel-like atmosphere as an adults-only inn; an atmosphere that is perfect for anniversary getaways, romantic getaways, and restful retreats away from modern-day stressors. Your guest room choice will offer a king or queen bed, private bathroom, and a romantic fireplace. Guests will delight in the luxurious bed and Comphy linens, business-class internet, large flat-screen TVs, and much more. Eight of the rooms feature two-person whirlpools for those added moments of romantic indulgence.

Thank you for visiting The Oakwood Inn today. We invite you to book your romantic getaway in Iowa, and allow yourself time to reconnect, relax and refresh. At The Oakwood Inn, we believe our guests deserve to leave feeling better than when they arrived. We accomplish this through good, old-fashioned hospitality and service. We look forward to welcoming you to our home!

Breakfasts

Breakfast, the day’s most important meal, takes on new meaning at The Oakwood Inn. Crafted from scratch daily, your palette will be sent to places dreams are made of, transporting you to some version of foodie heaven. Going beyond the everyday “All-American” breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast, you wake up to a three-course gourmet breakfast that will make you never want to leave. 

Culinary delights are part of The Oakwood Inn’s story. Known for decades-old family traditional recipes paired with current techniques for robust flavor and wide-eyed presentation excitement – this is where guests travel for breakfast. Breakfast + The Oakwood Inn + Lake Okoboji = the perfect place to Reconnect, Relax, and Refresh.
