Our three generations had a very relaxing fun week. Our hosts were very friendly & helpful to several requests. The weather was great for our water sports. Our first time on Lake Ida and we will be back.
This was a great property for our family to gather for a nearby wedding. The location was just right, and the lakeside setting is beautiful. The house was quiet, comfortable and well-kept, and the owners were friendly and responsive.
This was a great place to stay with my friends! We took advantage of the sandy beach and waist deep water! It’s a great place to have people to relax or hangout on the lake. I would highly recommend it to my friends and family!
We had a great stay with family, a few minor communication issues but nothing serious. One of the pictures shows a bunch of life jackets but I would suggest bringing your own. Overall we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
Property was very nice and as advertised. Clean up prior to our arrival could have been a bit better as one of the beds had used sheets and there were several other minor items needing cleaning.
We were the first ones to stay at this house. Overall not bad. They have a few minor things to iron out, some fixing up to do on the house. Slept 9 adults and 3 kids no problem.

Nice property, good housr space but needs a lot of work
Arrived to a dirty house, could not put food in refrigerator until we cleaned. There were no drapes on the downstairs sleeping area and the steps to the downstairs had no gate so tough with little kids. No dishwasher which was on us, did not read thoroughly but no real dish drying towels provided for a big house. Owners live next door which was fine but kids said they felt like someone was always watching them play. The yard was great but the outside deck looks ready to rot they in places. Boat lift was not out far enough in lake and was painful to use for the week. If this property got some tlc it would be amazing but at the high price we paid, it was not.
