Fun family vacation.

Our three generations had a very relaxing fun week. Our hosts were very friendly & helpful to several requests. The weather was great for our water sports. Our first time on Lake Ida and we will be back.

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.

Nice place

We were the first ones to stay at this house. Overall not bad. They have a few minor things to iron out, some fixing up to do on the house. Slept 9 adults and 3 kids no problem.
