About this property
Life is Better at the Lake at Lakeside Cottage
Lakeside Cottage is located in the private, gated Bills Island community. It had a major remodel with new carpet in the living room and upstairs bedrooms in spring of 2017. A new master suite, large deck, and main bath have all been remodeled within the past 5 years including new washer and dryer and kitchen appliances. Our rustic cabin is very secluded being nestled in the trees off the waterfront. Two private docks (one for a boat and one for swimming) with close proximity to a boat loading area, make this a great place for boating, wake boarding, jet skiing, swimming, or fishing. A large retaining wall with two sets of steps to the lake adds a safety feature for young and old. The cabin offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and will sleep 12 guests comfortably. The main floor has the master bedroom with king size bed and en-suite bathroom with jetted tub/shower. A den with hide-a-bed is directly off the master. The other main floor bathroom has a tiled shower with two vanities. Bedroom #2 is upstairs with a queen size bed. Bedroom #3 has 2 queen size beds and 4 twin beds. An extra bed is available in the remodeled shed with electricity. We have a BBQ grill with propane provided and fire pit (bring your own wood). Several picnic tables offer great outdoor eating options. 3 patio sets with umbrellas help in feeding a crowd. This is the perfect place to vacation as it is within 45 minutes of Yellowstone Park. Other close attractions are Mesa Falls, Big Springs, Henry's Lake, Harriman State Park, and Quake Lake, to name a few.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Ruth Ann Rose
Our father and mother were both born in Idaho and returned after his residency to start a medical practice. Several years later after vacationing in a cabin in upper New York state, they began looking for the perfect place in Idaho to vacation.
Why they chose this property
Our family has owned this property for over 50 years. Originally purchased by our parents when the cabin was only two years old, we have spent many summer days fishing, water skiing, and jet skiing. As we have gotten older, our children and grandchildren have taken up the fun activities as we snap photos and enjoy the company.
What makes this property unique
Mother fell in love with the lot. So many trees provided privacy from both the road and the lake. A deck was built and enjoyed for our parents' 45 wedding anniversary. One recent addition included tearing down that deck and replacing it with a beautiful large deck with railing looking out over the lot and lake. Over the years the cabin has been remodeled inside to handle our growing family.
