Idylwild Lake House

This is the second time we have been to this house. It keeps getting better and we will be back. It is very well equipped, comfortable and met all our requirements. I take my pontoon boat so the Cannon Lake Park launch is very convenient and the dock at the house is perfect.
Response from VrboOwner on Nov 5, 2026

We had a wonderful stay at this home! It was very spacious, located right on the water with a dock and plenty of room to accommodate our boat. The driveway was large enough to park our truck and boat trailer, along with another vehicle, and still had room for a third vehicle if needed. The home was well equipped with a substantial amount of kitchen supplies and everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. There was also plenty for the children to do both inside and outside the house, which my grandkids absolutely loved! Another great bonus was that the home was only about a 15-minute drive from LEGOLAND, making it a convenient location for family activities. The neighbors were also very friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, this home was perfect for our family, and we would definitely recommend it to others. We would absolutely stay here again if we have the opportunity!

Kitchen was well appointed. The house was clean and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool table & foosball on the Lanai. And the mini-split AC was greatly appreciated! Decor was nicely done and we would recommend this vacation rental to anyone! We also enjoyed the chairs on the dock and the kayaks. Very nice place!

We stumbled upon this gem and will absolutely stay here again whenever our company works in the area. We loved using the kayaks, playing pool, and chatting on the dock. It’s not brand new, but it’s very well kept, comfortable, and far better than staying in a hotel. A fantastic place to unwind after a long day.
