We respect our renters privacy and these are only to be used for security only and to monitor the pontoon boat. Thanks for understanding.

The weather was cool & grey for much of our time but we had 1 1/2 days of sun. We rented the owner’s pontoon boat and cruised the lake. The young boys and a few older folks fished a lot. They caught big bluegill, a couple nice perch and lots of bass that had to be sent back to grow some more. There was plenty of space for all of us. Lovely home.

Perfect Home Away from Home

Our family of 7 adults and 2 children under 2 years old stayed at the Lakeside Escape for a week in mid-June. The house was immaculately maintained. The new kitchen and layout of the main floor was perfect for a large group, and it made it easy for all of us to be together for meals and have a beautiful view over the lake. The locations of the bedrooms throughout the house gave each family some space so that they could follow their individual family routines without feeling like they were intruding on someone else’s space. The fire pit and grill were perfect. We rented the pontoon boat as well and had a great time cruising around the lake and fishing. We look forward to staying again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan and Gail Steidl

Host profile image
Let me introduce ourselves as Jonathan and Gail Steidl. I grew up summers at a lake house and had the pleasure to share this with my wife and three children. In 2018 we decided to buy this property on Irogami Lake so we could share these same experiences with you and your family. There is everything from swimming, kayaking, volleyball or bring your own boat for some recreational fun in the summer months. In the winter time, cozy up to the fireplace or warm up in the hot tub after a day of downhill skiing at or tubing at Nordic Mountain. There is plenty to do at the lakehouse and we want you to make those memories that last for a lifetime!

Why they chose this property

We loved this property because of the beautiful lake view, ease of access to the lake and the sandy bottom to the lake. The location is walking distance from the Silvercryst restaurant, minutes away from the quaint town of Wautoma. Enjoy Ice cream at the Milty Wilty Drive-In or stop at the StoneRidge Piggly WIggly for all your barbecue needs or just to stop into town to do some shopping.

What makes this property unique

The cabin can accommodate a number amount of people for a family reunion, an anniversary party or a spiritual retreat. Enjoy the mornings with a hot cup of coffee on the deck or listens to the birds and the wind gently blowing thru the abundant amount of trees around the property. If the weather is not cooperating, we have three televisions, supplied movies or go down into the lower level and enjoy a game of Foosball or play some cards at the game table. There are also some board games in the entry way closet. We also have a fully stocked kitchen with pans, bake-ware and utensils for all of your baking and cooking needs. If there is something we do not have a hand, leave us a friendly suggestion and we will try to accommodate any of your needs. Stay TUNED for future remodeling so we can bring the Lakeside Escape up to date!
