We can’t wait to come back!

Perfect lake getaway! The house was super clean and looked just like the pictures. The view was gorgeous, we spent so much time just hanging out in the pool and looking out over the lake. Such a great stay!

Lakeside with pool

Lake Ida is a serene lake. The pool catches the lake breeze and gets afternoon shade. Life is good waking up to the morning sun with access to a lake and a pool! The house is spacious, with plenty of room to spread out. Nearby Hitchcock Market was a well-stocked grocery store. We enjoyed kayaking, fishing, splashing in the pool, and playing games. Time flew by as we made memories.

Relaxing place with a beautiful view of the lake!!

We stayed with some family and we were all comfortable and enjoyed the views. There is really nothing to do around but that’s what we were looking for. We wanted to stay in and just relax, fish and swim. The pool was smaller than we thought but we still enjoyed it. The owners were super nice and accommodating! Would stay again. 😊

The house could have been a little cleaner. The pool was very dirty, not useable and no one ever showed up to maintain it. I would recommend getting a pest control contract on the house due to bugs inside. Location was great, lake behind the house is also nice.

About the host

Host profile image
Our family has lived in the area all of our lives going back as far as our great-great grandparents! Needless to say we love our small town and wanted a little retreat from the hustle of our daily lives while still close to home and our businesses. Being at the lake brings a sense of calm with the beautiful views, the breeze on the porch or the balcony and so many activities for our 2 boys to keep them entertained! We also love hosting family and friends here and bringing the boat as the neighborhood boat ramp is so close by and very quiet! While the property is very private we are surrounded by wonderful and kind neighbors, many of whom reached out immediately after we bought the property to welcome us! Another thing we love about this area is the local dining and coffee shops. I love giving recommendations to guests on places to eat and local activities during their stay! Hosting has been so fun, it’s been very heartwarming hearing that guests have also enjoyed our home as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

The views from this house are absolutely spectacular, especially from the balcony and at all times of the day! The easy access to the lake is unbeatable, walk down the dock and hop on a boat or use the steps to swim or fish right in the water. We personally love to put our chairs in the water and relax while our boys fish. We have a paddle board at the house that guests are welcome to use! The house has plenty of space to host family gatherings which is one of our favorite pastimes at the lake. The ample parking also makes hosting a breeze. The yard is very spacious as well, our boys love to run around in the yard playing sports and having picnics during the colder months when they don’t feel like swimming.
