Arnold, as we call him, is a perfect location if you want to be in the center of all the action. We love Arnold because you can park your car and walk. This includes historical Arnolds Amusement Park (.8 miles); Preservation Plaza for live music and Wednesday night family movies (.6 miles), numerous restaurants (.3-.6 miles), beach, (.3-.6 miles) and lake access to both West and East Okoboji (.5 miles). Arnold is located right off of Hwy 71 and is a block from West Lake Okoboji. Our location is perfect for families, couples and groups of friends. The extensive Dickinson County Trail System is literally steps from our front door. If you bring your bike(s), we can provide you access to the locked garage.
Arnold was built in 1940 by Harry Tennet, the owner of the historic Harry's taxidermy and oddity shop, which is now Jensen Real Estate (next door). Please note that with all the historic charm of 1940, also comes the compact living size, block basement and an occasional spiderweb.
Please note that we do not approve of taping or hanging anything from a wall, doorway or window. Previous renters have done this and paint has been damaged. So, we are cautious of approving bachelorette parties and birthday parties. If you plan to hang decorations, you should look for a different rental property for your party.

    We had a lovely stay at this place. It was in a great location, just a bit noisy from the highway. We enjoyed the outside patio area. Some of the light switches were hard to find but we enjoyed the charm and proximity to the park!

    Great place to enjoy Arnolds Park and the surrounding area. Mini Nashville is easily walkable to bars restaurants and all the fun of Arnolds Park.

    we reserved this for our photographer from mpls and her family. the children didn't want to stay in the basement bedroom due to the conditions. they did say it's a clean cute little house. the host was quick to respond about checking out rules.

    The house was very well stocked with all the essentials and some extra touches like a snack basket. It was clean and nicely decorated. A small property but the owner has made the most of the space. It is a great location walking distance to plenty of restaurants and the Arnold Park amusement area. Our only issue is with listing it as a three bedroom. The third bedroom and half bath are in the basement. Two dehumidifier’s going, but still musty. And the fact that it was not a legal bedroom (no egress window) and the door to the half bath was just a curtain. At the very least this should be disclosed in the listing.

    Very cute house and in the perfect location for everything going on in Okoboji and Arnold’s Park. The hosts made it so easy to check in and answered any questions we had prior to our stay.
