A cottage collection inspired by the performing arts heritage of Okoboji Summer Theatre

Welcome to The Theatre District of Okoboji — a one-of-a-kind cottage collection inspired by the rich performing arts heritage of Okoboji Summer Theatre. Nestled alongside the iconic summer theatre campus and Brooks Golf Course, this boutique stay experience blends nostalgic cottage charm with the energy of lake life.
Currently six cottages are being offered and each provide a unique stay experience. The property offers a volleyball court, outdoor seating on the cottage porches, several community BBQ grills, firepit, picnic benches and ample parking. Cottages can be reserved together for large groups, events, family reunions or individually.

This listing is for the THE ENCORE cottage offering one private bedroom with king bed, a full bathroom, kitchenette, and smart TV.

Powered by Stephens College and private donors, these thoughtfully curated cottages offer guests a unique opportunity to stay in the heart of one of Okoboji’s most vibrant cultural districts. Whether you`re here for lake days, amusement park nights, live theatre, concerts, or family traditions, The Theatre District places you in the center of it all. Minutes from Arnolds Park, area beaches, restaurants, nightlife, and the Iowa Great Lakes, this is more than a place to stay—it’s where your Okoboji story takes center stage.

There is parking space for up to 2+ vehicles next to the cottages and ample parking lot space for additional cars, trailers, or boats.
