Amazing Sunsets and Lake Quality

Lake home remodeled in 2021, with a 4th large bedroom with a King size bed added in 2026.

Expect a very furnished kitchen with every utensil possible and quality appliances. Large dock with solar boat lift.

Incredible lake views and sunsets with 5 sleeping areas (4 private bedrooms plus a King sofa bed in the lower level game room). About 2,250 finished SF.

There is enough parking (2 concrete driveways for up to 9 cars) and also room for an RV complete with a 30AMP exterior outlet. Boating dock fits up to 2 or 3 regular 20' boats. 1 solar boat lift for up to a 20ft boat without upper racks. Very private lot with 200 feet of lake shore.

IMPORTANT SEASONAL INFORMATION

The dock, boat lift, kayaks, and Lily Pad are seasonal amenities, available from mid-June to September 30.
Due to Minnesota's seasonal weather conditions and the possibility of freezing temperatures, these amenities are removed from the lake in the fall.
Guests booking stays after September 30 should not expect the dock, boat lift, kayaks, or Lily Pad to be available during their stay.

In winter, the stairs down to the lake are not cleared of snow or ice. Please stay off them.

Always a 5-star rating from us!

This is the 3rd time I have stayed at this property - twice with family and once with friends. The cleanliness of the house and beauty of the lake always make it a memorable stay. And the host, Francisco, is top-notch! I highly recommend staying at “Sunsets at Lake Ida.”

Sunset Stay

We had a wonderful girls weekend away. The home is beautiful, clean and just as pictured. It’s hard to beat the views from every window along the back of the home. The house is very well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We all said we would return for another girls weekend or bring our families to enjoy this property.
