Lake Ida Quiet Getaway

When you think of a Minnesota summer sunrise on the lake, this home has it! Located on the west side of Lake Ida in beautiful Douglas County, MN, this lake home has just what you need for your perfect summer lake getaway! This 4 bedroom, 3 bath home has plenty of space for that multi-family getaway, or for just your family to spread out and relax. With a large living room that is open to the dining area and kitchen, the whole family can be together at meal time. The lower level walks out to the lake and has another large family room for games and that quality family time you've been looking forward to! The lake is sandy and shallow and the kids will love doing a "cannon ball" off the end of the dock, and just maybe mom and dad will too! With multiple decks and patios around the house and next to the lake, theres plenty of space to enjoy the sun or take in all the views of the lake. You'll find plenty of space to sit, relax and unwind! In the evening, enjoy a nice campfire next to the lake, or enjoy the fireplace on those cool rainy Minnesota summer nights. Just minutes from Alexandria, you'll find plenty of activities for a family on the go as well. Sit back, relax, rest and unwind, your vacation is waiting!

Great place to stay with easy access to the water. Our family really enjoyed themselves. There was plenty of room for everyone and the house was very clean. We hope to possibly return one day.

Great Family Cabin Vacation!
We enjoyed several water activities ~ kayaking, paddle board, swimming, splash pad was a favorite, fishing was great, and boating! The kids enjoyed the sand by the boat house, had bonfires and roasted marshmallows for smores, enjoyed sitting by the lake, eating outside on the deck at the large family table. The cabin is spacious with several bedrooms and full bathrooms for all of us. Thank you again for sharing your lake home ~ we had a wonderful time! 🎣☀️

Lake Front Vacation
We had a great family vacation week! The VRBO had wonderful outdoor space with views of Lake Ida from 3 levels. Our grandsons had a good time fishing, kayaking and using the Lilly Pad. We also rented a pontoon and enjoyed our time on the water. The home was very comfortable for relaxing and cooking meals.

Why they chose this property

Lake Ida is one of the most beautiful lakes in Minnesota. This lake home has everything you need to enjoy the lake and all it has to offer.

What makes this property unique

This lake has an "original boathouse" located right next to the lake. Douglas county no longer allows these amazing boathouses to be built this close to the water anymore per the county regulations for building. As such, we have a property where these structures are "Grandfathered" in. In the photos you'll see the picture of the rooftop deck on the boathouse. It offers amazing, panoramic views of the lake beginning with watching the incredible Minnesota Summer Sunrise. If you're really fortunate, you'll be out early enough to hear the loons talking to one another, and maybe even see the Swan's landing, or fish jumping in the cool foggy morning air. Just down the steps from the boathouse is a brand new paver patio with a built in fire pit, right next to the water! This home is staged and ready for your summer vacation at the lake! Surrounding the house itself is a deck where you can enjoy more of the incredible lake views, or sit and have a beverage while you watch the kids swim or fish!
