Fantastic property. Extremely clean, well thought out, beautiful view of the lake, great sand bar just an easy walk out for kids to enjoy. The water toys added to the fun for all ages. The location was close enough to eating and shopping options but far enough away from traffic. Quiet, safe and all we had hoped for. This will be a memorable time for our family for many years to come. The challenge will be to repeat the experience in the future. This set the bar pretty high. Thank you for opening this to others to enjoy!!!!

A Beautiful Stay at Peaceful Lake Ida

My friends and I enjoyed a relaxing weekend at this beautiful lake property. The cabin is well appointed for a group stay—plenty of comfortable beds, a well-supplied kitchen, and lovely outdoor spaces right on the lake shore. The homeowners went out of their way to make the cabin welcoming and to communicate the many options for activities in the area.

Our group of two families with a total of 8 people had a wonderful stay at this cabin. The rooms were comfortable and the living area was cozy. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. The hosts were great with timely communication and tips about what to do in the area. We enjoyed the nearby Carlos Creek winery (great wood fired pizzas!) and breweries as well as the boutique shops in Alexandria. The barbecue grill in the garage was handy as well. Thanks for a memorable time!

Corporate weekend retreat

We had a group of 8 for a weekend retreat and the house was great. Pleanty of rooms with 3 full bathrooms to make it comfortable for all. A quick drive to town and so very close to the winery and brewery. Everything we needed was in the house and it made for a very relaxing weekend. The host was also wonderful, great communication before and during the trip. Thank you for sharing your rental.

Amazing Alexandria Lake Cabin

This was a return trip for our girls weekend and most certainly will return again! Owners so gracious and easy to communicate with! Cabin filled with home-like touches, comfortable bedrooms, numerous kitchen essentials, large TV, fireplace for those cool temps, and a deck with beautiful lake views for kicking back and relaxing! We used for our base home to explore Alex & surrounding areas. Enjoyed wineries, breweries, thrift store shopping, and many great eating places! Would totally recommend for your getaway rental!

Exactly as described

Our stay at the lake was great for our girls weekend. The accuracy of the listing left no surprises. Teresa reached out with different happenings at nearby businesses which was helpful. The proximity to the winery is convenient. The cab service from town will pick up/drop off from the home. We would love to stay again when we visit the area in the future!

My girlfriends and I from high school got together and had so much fun! The house was perfect for us. Beds are comfortable and everything was so clean. We had everything we needed there so we didn’t need to go anywhere. All 7 of us were able to hang out in the living room comfortably. We will be coming back I’m sure!! Thank you for everything!

We attended our daughter's wedding at Carlos Creek Winery. This property was perfect for us. Less than 2 miles from the venue. My Dad and my inlaws stayed with us, in addition to my son. The availability of 3 full baths was unbelievably convenient to maximize independent use and minimize sharing. The available space and layout of the house is excellent for a group, and the amenities were top notch. Finally, the communication from Teresa and Jim from reservation to pre-trip, during our stay and upon checkout was timely, constructive, thorough, and friendly. An all-around excellent property.

This beautiful cabin was so comfortable & dressed for autumn. Beds were also very comfortable. Sunset Paradise had the best stocked kitchen &bathrooms we have had. Check in was easy-keypad code supplied by owner. The owner texted with ideas of things to do & places to eat. We really enjoyed The Depot, Angelina’s, Pike & Pint, & Lure ????. Sorry, can’t remember the complete name.Carlos Winery was also a good stop.We would highly recommend this listing. Five of us had plenty of room. We stayed the first week of October. Bring a jacket-it did get chilly!
