About this property

Lake Ida Getaway w. Boat/Pontoon Lift

Lake cabin located on Lake Ida! Spacious home comfortably sleeps 13 with 3 bedrooms and an additional bunk area. Two bedrooms, living room, kitchen, one and a half baths, and the sunroom are located on the main floor. You can access the wrap around deck right from the kitchen, living room or sunroom. The lower level walk out has a bedroom, large family room, a full bath, and a additional space beside the family room with bunk beds, as well as a laundry room with laundry sink and an additional refrigerator. The large patio has an outdoor dining space and a gas grill.

Central heat and air, and the garage stall has storage for your gear and large yard that is almost 3/4 of an acre for yard games or kids' games.

If you are looking for a brand new home, you may want to keep looking. Although our lake cabin is mid century, we have done a lot of updates to provide a comfortable stay for single or multi generational families, and the amenities can't be beat!

Prime lakeshore with level lot and sand bottom with your own private dock and boat/pontoon lift, shallow swimming area so you don't have to worry about the little ones. Lake Ida is one of the cleanest lakes in the Alexandria area. A water slide, raft, SUP and kayaks are provided for your enjoyment. As a bonus, we provide a lift that can hold a boat or pontoon! Lake Ida is a superior fishing lake and has walleye, bass, and of course, lots of panfish!

This home has the country feel but is located minutes from the many attractions located around Alexandria. Enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting and live events at Carlos Creek Winery, 22 Northmen Brewing Co , and the Sizzle food truck, which are located a little over a mile away. If you are attending an event at Gathered Oaks, we are located within two miles. Across the lake is the distillery. Other attractions nearby are the Central Lakes Bike Trail, Casey's Amusement Park, as well as many great dining options. Zorbaz has a huge lakefront deck, with live music offered on weekends. The Lure is a fun destination with a gorgeous view of Lake Le Homme Dieu, and offers a large outdoor dining patio as well as indoor dining. Rain or shine, you can enjoy days of exploring all the consignment shops and unique stores in downtown Alexandria, as well as many weekend events, such as live music events and wine tastings.

Family gathering
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.

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.

Labor Day Weekend 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.

Vacation Alexandria
Overall we were very satisfied. However, the dock and boat lift situation was less than desirable.

About the host

Hosted by Anna

Host profile image
Our family has been in the Lake Ida area for most of our lives and we have made many memories with our kids. We are partial to this lake because as a premier lake in the area, it is still largely undiscovered and fairly quiet without a lot of boat traffic. We decided to offer this property as a vacation rental so other families can make lifetime memories on Lake Ida as well!

Why they chose this property

Many lakes in the area offer either great fishing, quiet enjoyment of nature, or good swimming. Lake Ida has it all! Whether you are looking for a great lake house to host your family get together, coming to Alexandria for a wedding at one of the nearby wedding venues, wanting a quick weekend getaway, travelling for business, sports tournaments, or looking for an ideal ice fishing, swimming or snowmobiling weekend, this lake getaway provides something for all! This property truly lives up to the meaning of Alexandria's slogan, 'Easy to get to, Hard to leave".

What makes this property unique

Very quiet country setting on a private road, sunsets over the lake, loons calling at night, deer and turtles wandering across the way but located half a mile from the boat launch and about 5 minutes from amenities of Alexandria.
