5 BR Lakefront Home On Beautiful Lake Ida - Family Fun Or Executive Retreat

Tom's property is beautiful! We were 3 families with 5 kids under 6 and there was room for them to play in separate areas. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking large meals, with plenty of dishes. The sandy beach was perfect for the kids and fishing off the dock was great. Tom is a delight to work with. The company from which we rented a crib and toddler chair had an issue and found working with Tom very easy! He is very responsive and worked to make our stay fabulous.

This is a very special lake home and the owner is very easy to work with and extremely helpful. Our family enjoyed some lake time and fellowship. Fishing off the dock is great!

Great Location on Lake Ida. Easy to stay in Little Ida if get too windy on the lake. Great Dock set up and being ability to use boat lift was Great!. Loved the Open kitchen great home feel with being able to walk out to the deck. Nice green flat yard for kids to play games and activities.

We enjoyed our stay very much. Our kids and grandkids asked to book again for next year they loved it that much. I contacted the owners prior to leaving to check on towels…glad I did since they aren’t provided. Also the porch bedroom isn’t air conditioned so it was very warm in there. Other than that we will definitely be going back next year.

We rent a house in the area every summer and this is by far the best! We found it last year and this is the first time we have stayed at in the same spot twice. The beach is sandy, the lake is big and has a nice sandbar. Great fishing and swimming. The house has a huge kitchen, great for cooking and eating with a big group. Comfortable beds too! Highly recommend.

My family and I gather at the lake each year and this place has been one of our favorites! Tom, the host, was very responsive. We loved the lake access and the kitchen was perfect! Can't wait to stay again.

This property has it all! Our family of 9 adults was very comfortable in this beautiful and carefully outfitted vacation home. We enjoyed the level yard fronting on the lake and the putting-green lawn made it easy and fun to play games. We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful pontoon on beautifully clear Lake Ida. Thanks for sharing with us!

We usually stay on the chain, but tried lake Ida this year and loved it! This property is beautiful, huge lawn and beach for the kids to play and beautiful gardens and outdoor fireplace. Inside was big enough for 3 small families to stay- we put all the kids upstairs and they loved it. Huge kitchen and comfortable beds. Owner was great! Very nice and very communicative, we rented their pontoon for the week as well and it was perfect to take to the sandbar. Only thing that was unusual was they wanted us to bring our own bath towels /hand towels/ washcloths. Have never had that before in my many VRBO rentals and obviously you can’t travel with towels so had to buy some just for the stay. Overall it was amazing and we would definitely love to stay here again.

We loved our stay at this beautiful home on Lake Ida. Our grandchildren (ages 5-7) had a ball swimming, pontooning, playing on the lily pad and learning how to paddleboard. The house was perfect for our stay. We would love to return some day!

Just wow. The house was perfect for us! Everyone had a place to rest their head, and with 3 bathrooms (showers) in the house, we didn't waste a ton of time on nightly rotation. The kitchen was perfect for all of our meals. Sitting at the bar or at the table we had no trouble making meals a success. The garage made an easy pass through for sandy feet, wet towels, etc that didn't need to go through the house. The laundry room was a perk that did NOT go unused. We enjoyed walking the neighborhood every morning, sipping coffee on the back deck, fishing morning, noon, and night from the shore and the dock and making friends with the dogs next door. There was dock jumping, kayaking, paddle boating, tubing, and more to be had at this perfect location. The owner was friendly, receptive and communicated promptly - a joy in a world lacking in customer service! The only recommendation I would make: 1) Clothes line back up is a must with large parties. I would much rather hang 12 towels to dry instead of making the dryer do the work; 2) consider formal steps from the dock to the lake for any old folks who visit your home. Thank you for allowing us the gift of this location! A perfect place for the last week in July! See ya next time!
