About this property
Runestone Retreat on Lake Ida
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...
