Lake Ida Hideaway Cabin

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.
