More than a Hidden Gem
This property is even better than described. The attention to detail was like no other place I have stayed. High quality sheets, thick bath towels and plenty of them, excellent charging station on nightstand for every device you could possibly have. Comfortable sitting areas with blankets. There is an ice maker separate from the freezer. Really this place is everything you could think of and more. I wish every place I stayed was this nice. It's a convenient location for crystal digging for most mines in the Mt Ida area. Short drive to eat in Mt Ida. The property is just off the main road but pretty quiet. If we weren't getting up early for digging we would have sat out on the lovely porch and enjoyed coffee in the peaceful wooded back area. Definitely a 5 star stay.

Cozy home
We have stayed at various properties around Mt. Ida. This is by far our favorite. Very cozy home with so many positives: comfy beds, plenty of space, great back porch with grill, well-stocked kitchen. Lots of little 'extras' that show Edwenna wants her guests to have a perfect stay. Excellent location, quick drive to trails, restaurants, lake, rivers. We will definitely return!

An incredible secret getaway
My stay at this Vrbo in Mt. Ida was an absolute dream come true. The location is nothing short of magical. Tucked away just off the highway, it feels like stepping into a hidden paradise. Surrounded by a breathtaking forest of beautiful trees in every direction, it's as if you've entered a different world. One of the highlights of my stay was the seamless integration of nature into the property. Large windows and skylights provide ample natural light, and the surrounding forest creates a sense of serenity and privacy. Despite its secluded setting, this Vrbo boasts surprisingly modern amenities. If you're looking for a getaway that combines the beauty of nature with the comforts of modern living, this Vrbo is an absolute gem.

Name says it all
We had an absolutely fantastic stay here. The property is comfortable, quiet, and in a gorgeous location very close to a lot of interesting things to do - hiking, crystal hunting, visiting the lake, etc. Lots of nice amenities too - a fully equipped kitchen, a grill, a really nice breezeway, a fire pit, and even beach toys for kids. This is a "batteries included" place. We loved our stay here and look forward to staying here the next time we're in this area.
