5 stars isn't enough! Our stay at Vintage Block inn and suites was awesome! It was the first time we stayed there and we absolutely loved it. The location is great-close to everything and we were able to take a long hike along the lake. The room decor is so fun and it feels like home. Misty is awesome and helped us adjust our reservation which was above and beyond as it was my mistake!! Can't say enough great things about this place. We'll definitely be back!!

Comfortable beds, fun remodel design, easy parking right in front of unit. They were set up with books and extras for kids. No options for Gluten Free breakfast, room smelled musty, possibly it was the A/C unit.

Thank you so very much for the kind review!! We appreciate it so much!! We have found our a/c units are needing a refresh so fortunately that is something super simple to rinse them out to smell freshie, fresh again. We appreciate your business and time. We normally have a gluten free breakfast cereal. I will make sure we are stocked up! Thanks so much!

Thank you for the super nice review! We can't tell you how much we appreciate you and your business!!
We recently stayed at Vintage Block and we were pleasantly surprised. Upon check in we got a room with more beds than expected which was nice. Our fridge was not working appropriately upon arrival and they promptly brought in a new one. There were a lot of fun activities to do during down time. Our kids absolutely loved the bikes and games.
If I had to give some feedback it would be that some of the games were old and weathered. The basketball shot needed batteries and the balls were flat, but we made it work and still had so much fun! I would recommend this place.

Thank you for your business. We appreciate it and apologize about the noise. Honestly, we rarely get noise complaints so it must of been one uncomfortable baby.
Unique decor and nice vacation vibe. The picnic tables, fire rings, and bicycles were nice perks.
The room smelled a little damp, but running the air conditioner seemed to mitigate it.

Very family friendly. Kids loved the pool, bicycle surreys, book bags, games (outdoor and office supply to borrow). Playground across the highway was very nice! Breakfast offered a nice variety. I would have enjoyed more protein choices. Beds comfy, towels fresh and clean.

Nice place, but first impression upon walking into the main lobby wasn't welcoming. They've evidently had unruly guests and have hung too many signs on the wall about "behaving or else".

Village Block Suites has a rustic vibe which I found charming. We did have a problem with the booked dates and found ourselves locked out on the last night because of that. The staff resolved the matter quickly and they were all very accommodating and friendly.

Thank you for the nice review! We appreciate you selecting to stay with us while you are in Okoboji and hope you will consider us in the future. Happy 4th!
I was there not a whole day. I came and it took a while to get the Internet 😕. Then the next morning I couldn't get on for nothing 😕. The lighting could be a little brighter. And the coffee pot leaks. If you put it on a pad to soak up the water it would be fine. Otherwise I liked it.

Thank you for the business and the suggestions you relayed at checkout and on line. We appreciate the reminders when we have been 100%. We have additional coffee pots available at the desk and extra lamps and would have been happy to bring you either. We have made huge purchases in upgrading our internet to fiber, however, it did come with some updating frustration so please accept our apologies. We appreciate your business!
