Private lake home with Pontoon on Lake Ida in Alexandria, MN

Lake Ida peninsula! With over 1000’ of lake shore, this property sits at lake level making it superb for swimming. Located at the end of the road for privacy, the property is secluded with mature oak trees for the perfect relaxing vacation. The garage is setup for enjoying the lake days with a patio and small bar/counter area, full size refrigerator, oven, table and chairs and tear away screen (this space is our favorite!). We’ve even had sleepovers in this space (air mattresses with sheets and blankets available). A bunk room pairs as a storm shelter built to withstand winds up to 200 mph! This is truly a unique property that offers many memories to be made!

We offer the use of a pontoon for $650/stay.
Lake Ida is a large clear lake (sandy bottom) with three public accesses. The lake has a couple sandbar spots that are fun to spend the day at. Or if fishing is your thing, Lake Ida is one of the top lakes in the area for walleye, large and smallmouth bass and northern pike. Some of our best catches have been right off our dock!

If you wish to take a break from the lake, Alexandria, recently voted Best Town in Minnesota, is just 10 minutes away. Things to do and see include: charming local shops, unique and delicious restaurants, Copper Trail Brewery, Carlos Creek Winery, Big Ole and the Central Lakes Trail.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a sofa bed.

Fantastic lake getaway
My family of six and I as well as our fur baby Frank spent an incredible five days at this property. The property is beautiful and the lake even more so. Situated just 13 minutes from anything you need in Alexandria, this lakefront property sits at the end of the road, which provides Seclusion and privacy. The garage provides plenty of recreational space and it is just a few short steps on flatland from the door to the dock. The fishing on the lake was also fantastic. Will definitely come back

Great lake stay!
We loved our time on Lake Ida! It’s a gorgeous lake with so much to do - fishing and multiple sand bars. The peninsula that the house is on feels perfectly secluded. Great for fishing, paddle boarding, or floating right off of the dock. The house is clean with a nice kitchen and the garage/party room is a unique hang out extending the space. We would love to stay again!

Fantastic Family getaway
Stayed with my family, ages 2-65. Plenty of room for us all, the open garage with games and extra cooking space was definitely the kids hang out. Kitchen well stocked as well as towels, TP, and bathroom (shampoo, soap) supplies. The pontoon was the highlight of the trip. Lake Ida clean and great sand bar. Fishing off the dock and yard games in the very private yard were also a hit. So much to do on property we never left to see town, although everything is close. Next time!! Tiffany was very responsive and helpful! Thank you for a wonderful time.

Bachelorette party- perfect place for this!!! We had a great time at the house and spent way more time there than expected because it suited us all! Tiffany was an amazing host and really helped with some last minute struggles with planning! All 9 girls agreed that we’d book this place again if ever needing to come to the area!

Great Time!
Location is at the end of the line so more private. The cabin itself is small but there are other places for the whole family to hang out. Would definitely stay again!

On the water
This place was great! Right on water with all the things you'd find at a lakehouse of your own...floaties for the kids, a sup, board games for rainy days, water shoes, and the option to rent the pontoon on the property. Our kids loved fishing off the dock and heading out on the pontoon for time on the water. The MN state bird (aka mosquito) was a bit of a drawback after sunset, but the sliding door to the deck still afforded the opportunity to listen to the call of loons while watching the sunset shimmer on the lake. Definitely a stay full of great memories that will last a lifetime!

Great VRBO
Everything was clean and ready for our arrival. We enjoyed all the games and toys available to us. The lake was perfect for catching a lot of fish. The close vicinity to Alexandria, the winery and Brophy county park was a huge plus. Would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a great place to stay!
