About this property

Sunset Paradise, Lake Ida Horizon License #2014

Come and experience our family friendly year round vacation cabin! It is the perfect getaway, with a spacious layout for multi/extended family trips.
Featuring a wraparound deck to enjoy your morning coffee as you watch pristine Lake Ida wake up and at the end of a amazing day on the lake enjoy the magnificent sunsets. The cabin is located steps away from the sandy bottom lake with depths increasing slowly for the younger swimmers and optimal for wading out to the sandbar just off the dock. Bald eagle sightings are prominent and the loons are always calling!
Take a break from the lake and head into Alexandria (recently voted best town in Minnesota) for all of the local attractions. Including Casey's Amusement Park, ample downtown shopping, delicious local restaurants, and so much more! There are many local wineries and breweries that are close to the cabin/lake. Including, Carlos Creek Winery/22 Northmen Brewery, Rolling Forks Vineyard, LEtoile du Nord Vineyard, and Thousand Lakes Brewery are just a few. The cabin is also close to the public access and many beautiful area golf courses.
At night we invite you to enjoy the outdoor fire pit that is right off of the deck, and sit by the lakeside for optimal stargazing skies!
Our cabin features a large kitchen that is fully equipped with utensils, toaster, can opener, plates, cups, silverware, gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee bar, refrigerator/freezer and open concept living area. In main living area enjoy a good book, some hot chocolate, and the indoor fireplace.
The upstairs has 3 bedrooms, 2 with queen beds and 1 with 2 twin beds. And downstairs has 2 bedrooms, 1 with a king bed (en-suite bathroom)and 1 with a queen. All 3 bathrooms are full baths. All bed linens, bath towels, and beach towels are included.

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!

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.

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.

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!
