Beautiful Property, amazing experience

I can’t begin to express how many “wow’s” came out of our mouth as we explored the house. So clean and cozy. It was a perfect place to spend our anniversary. We really enjoyed checking out Alexandria and coming back tired, we hung out near the fireplace and watched tv. The view of the lake was gorgeous. We would definitely come back during the summer time to enjoy the lake. Ultimately a very relaxing weekend and would recommend to anyone interested in the highest quality of getaways! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Idyllic Girls Weekend

Francisco's cabin on Lake Idea was perfect for a girls weekend for our group of women in their 30s. Gorgeous views for AM coffee and PM wine, comfy beds, modern furnishings and decor, and every need is thought of — we were impressed the kitchen had everything we needed and more to cook a couple of meals. Francisco had great communication throughout. We will definitely be returning!

Sisters trip

Us seven sisters thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home! Plenty of room for all of us, and the lake and fall colors were a welcome bonus. Everything in this home appears brand new and very nicely decorated! Francisco was very responsive and helpful! Thank you!

Memory-making Weekend!

I invited 5 of my high school classmates to join me at this stunning property. This is the second time I have stayed at this property. It’s a completely updated home with many amenities and so CLEAN! While the weather was rainy and chilly, my friends and I shared laughter and many memories around the fireplace. The location is just a few minutes from Carlos State Park, Carlos Creek Winery and great shopping in Alexandria! I will be back next year with my family. Also, Francisco, the host, was very responsive and kind!

About the host

Hosted by Francisco J Almarza

Meet Jan, my wife of 40 years and me, Francisco Almarza. I was born in Santiago, Chile and Jan in Albert Lea, Minnesota who as a world traveller met me (1981) and married me (1983) in Chile and lived there for 5 years after which time we moved to the States (1985). We now have 4 amazing adult children and 4 incredible grandkids. . I am a former Architect and lately a translation editor and Jan a former Spanish/French teacher currently an interpreter trainer. We love making friends in any language as well as boating and relaxing at any lake.

Sunset-on-Ida is our second VRBO property; we purchased our first property in 2009 in Viña del Mar, Chile. Please visit https://www.vrbo.com/252816 where we have also received only 5 star reviews. We hope you love Sunset-on-Ida and will return as many times as possible.

Why they chose this property

We were looking for an investment lake property for several years. A hard thing to find on our favorite Lake Ida. Very private 200 feet of shoreline where you cannot see your neighbors.
The view to the lake with its magnificent sunsets in all seasons whether from the deck, the dock or the home on top the hill never ceases to take our breath away!

What makes this property unique

Great location and lake views. Recently renovated to 2021 standards. Super equipped. 200 feet of private shoreline. You should be aware the lot is on a hill but has been masterfully terraced down towards the lake with comfortable sun-bathing areas. If you are looking for a flat lot and sandy beach, this is not the place for you. Look at the pictures and notice the stairs you'll have to climb to get back and forth from the lake / shoreline to the house. Very good access to the many nearby area attractions on a well-travelled county road which might create some extra road noise on the front side of the property but not at all bothersome.
