My best friend and I spent an evening at the inn. The room was very spacious, with 2 comfortable beds. The room had a door that opened onto the patio with a view of the lovely backyard gardens and water feature. The host, Mark, was very gracious and friendly, offering suggestions of where to eat and shop. The room was... More

I have visited twice - both times at the end of October. First time was in October 2006 under the previous owners. The room was beautiful and the service was wonderful. The only negative was my ex-boyfriend. LOL! Last year, I planned a girls trip up there and decided to go alone when my friends both had something come up.... More

Booked this room online based on the photo's. Upon arrival it had large rooms with a hot tub in the room and a walkout patio. But upon closer examination it was a poorly crafted and maintained establishment. Service was below par for a $200/night room. During checkout I found out they had two prices advertised online for this room. One... More

My husband and I stayed this weekend at the Wild Rose Inn for a much needed getway. We were warmly greeted by Shelene and she filled us in on where everything was. There were freshly baked cookies and refreshments that we could help ourselves too. We stayed in a jacuzzi suite on the lower level! When we opened the door... More

We stayed at the Wild Rose last weekend as we just both needed some time away from the city, and life....this was an amazing B&B. The owners (Mark and Shalene) make you feel like real family from the moment you walk through their doors. The home is simply stunning, and I can't say enough about Shalene's cooking! The breakfast was... More

I really wanted to go on a 3 day/2 night getaway for our anniversery. Well, Northwest Iowa isn't exactly full of beautiful places, so I was looking around Okoboji area. All the hotels/resorts seemed really expensive, with no character. So I thought I'd try something more unique and stumbled across the Wild Rose Inn. It looked nice so we went... More

A couple of friends and I went up to Okoboji for a long weekend. We were allowed to check into our room early which was nice after a long drive. We were greeted by both Mark and Shelene. They were very frienly and welcoming, introduced themselves and made us feel very at home. Much warmer enviroment than your typical hotel.... More

Didn't know what I was going to encounter with a Bed & Breakfast and was floored with the experience. Stayed at Wild Rose for a wedding that was held on the grounds. Ideal location for families/groups to stay together. Lots of different areas for large groups to congregate, inside and outside the facility. Mark and Shelene were very gracious hosts... More

The Wild Rose Inn was a nice place to stay and we hope to return soon. The Inn has a beautiful backyard. The rooms are large, clean, and nicely decorated. The Inn keepers were friendly & helpful. I would have to say the only drawback, usually one of my favorite perks of staying in a BnB, was the breakfast.
