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!
We enjoyed our stay on Lake Ida. We found the owner to be very receptive to our communications. The home was very clean, well equipped, and comfortable. Fishing was good and the younger kids enjoyed the lily pad and paddle boat. Great lake for a pontoon, kayaking, and tubing.
This fabulous home is in a great location at the far north end of Lake Ida. It is beautifully appointed and so welcoming. The owner was wonderful to work with and had many suggestions to add to our good time. The water in the lake was crystal clear and is shallow near the shore. Our crew was all about learning the stand up paddle board and the weather provided ample opportunity to do just that. We had yard games set up and the front yard had plenty of room to enjoy them all. There is a spot for a fire every night and there was wood available to make it happen. S'MORES galore! There is a vine covered arbor like structure near the fire area and is strung with solar lights that created almost a magical light effect as the setting sun retired and they came on. We rented the pontoon for the week and enjoyed it several times each day. Wonderful memories made!
Beautiful home and grounds. Was well equipped kitchen with all we needed! Nice swimming area. Brought our yard games with great space for play. Plenty space for 5 adults and 3 youth.
Great location for a family lake vacation.
It was a very welcoming and inviting home. Our family of 14 had a great vacation together in this lake home. We had the unusual experience of 4 days of rain in mid July with gusty winds, normally a disaster with a houseful of active children. The kids (6 of them between the ages of 7-11) played games, sat in the jaccuzzi under a covered porch, and watched movies on a big screen TV with Netflix access. There is so much beautiful space in the home that no one felt stressed. When the weather cooperated we enjoyed great swimming, playing on the lily pad, the paddle boat, and the stand-up paddle board all provided by the owner. The adults enjoyed the same amenities as well as ping-pong tournaments, fishing, and night time around the outdoor fireplace. The beds were comfortable, there is more than ample bathroom facilities, and the spacious refrigerator accommodated all of our food needs for a group. We would definitely enjoy gathering in this great place again.
