About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Lakeside fun for all seasons! From boating and swimming in summer to ice fishing and cozy fireside chats in winter. Our beautiful three-level lake home offers year-round sunsets to be viewed from our multiple-level deck or from our private dock. It’s nestled in privacy with tall trees, on one of the largest, clearest lakes in the area. And there’s so much more to do nearby – winery, brewery, great restaurants, golf courses, downtown shopping, museums...

THE PROPERTY

Our property is so unique and private. Discover ample space for both socializing and solitude, with many indoor and outdoor spaces perfect for unwinding together or enjoying moments of personal relaxation.

If you enter the home through the front door, you are on the main floor, or middle level. The main floor is where you will find a cozy living room with a breathtaking 18'+ stone fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen and dining space, BRAND NEW full-size washer and dryer (May 2024), Bedroom 1 (king bed) Bedroom 2 (queen bed), and full bathroom with walk-in shower.

The upstairs loft (Bedroom 3) boasts amazing lake views and tons of space for sleeping with 2 king beds and a bonus “hideaway” room with a twin standard bunk bed. It also includes a designated space with a desk for any work needs during your stay.

The full walkout basement offers an open patio that leads to the decks and the lake, as well as Bedroom 4 (queen bed), full bathroom with walk-in shower, and lots of living room space, including a sleeper sofa.

Choose from one of three decks (2 directly off the home’s main level – no stairs required) or walk down to the landing deck or bench on our large dock to enjoy the lake view. Recent (May 2024) SAFETY UPGRADES made to stairs and railings.

Lake Ida Hideaway Cabin Reviews

Family Vacation

We had an excellent time during our stay on Lake Ida. There was 12 of us. Seven adults and 5 kids under 10 years. The sleeping arrangements were adequate, but sleeping in the loft was not quiet or private. The beds were comfortable (if you like a softer bed). When the weather is nice, the deck is a great place to gather. If you have very young children/toddlers beware of the steps leading to the lake; there are railings but no spindles on the sides. Our kids were able to carefully walk, but little ones may not be so cautious. Lake Ida is a beautiful lake! The lake shore at the house is a bit weedy, but has easy access to the dock if you bring a boat. We checked-in late because the owner forgot to send me the information/codes, but she was apologetic and gave us some extra time on our check-out day. Despite a couple hiccups, our family trip was a success and we had a great time!

Overview

AC was not working when we got there 90ﾟ in the house.Took hours just to get it to 78. Umbrella was very broken and dangerous. Dishwasher leaves a white film on all the dishes. Sheets are extremely cheap And slippery don't stay on bed. 3 to 4 Max to sit around campfire down by the Lake on rocks.Busy road close to house. Not a walking road. The loft has wide railings over looking lower level so would not be safe for young children.

Great Views & Value

The property owner was very communicative during the process answering all of our questions. The property was super clean and well equipped. Everything was as represented or better! We will definitely book this property again!
