Our Story

A Legacy of Warmth & Hospitality

For generations, travelers have found their haven at The New Inn — a place where the pace slows, the coffee is fresh, and every guest is welcomed like family. Nestled in the heart of Arnolds Park, our inn has been a cornerstone of the Okoboji community, offering a genuine alternative to chain lodging.

We believe a stay should feel like more than a night's rest. It should feel like an experience — one that lingers in memory long after you've packed your bags. That philosophy guides everything we do, from the linens on your bed to the recommendations we share at check-in.
