This was the perfect place to meet family from Southern MN, Northern WI and TN for our daughter’s first birthday! The kitchen was equipped with absolutely everything you’d need and there was plenty of space and things to do for everyone!

We appreciate your positive feedback, Katie, and it was truly a pleasure to have hosted you. We would be delighted to welcome you back at any time.
Everything was excellent. Great communication with us during our stay. Beautiful location was very relaxing. The house was well kept and the hosts were very hospitable with extra toiletries and even snacks left out for us.
It was a quick adult getaway and the lakeside escape was perfect! The house was clean and well stocked. We made use of the French press for coffee and appreciated the snacks and water the host left. We enjoyed a quiet kayak around the whole lake and the hot tub. We hope to come back for another visit with our family.
Very clean, well kept and well-stocked house for our needs! Enjoyed using the paddle boat, kayaks and canoe, fishing, as well as the hot tub!If the temps outside were warmer, we would have done a lot more swimming in the lake!Games and puzzle were fun to use as well as the fire pit for s’mores!
This was our 5th time enjoying this fabulous property...clean, modern, and spacious with everything you need to relax! We love our family time and can't wait to stay again!
Everything in the house was very organized and detailed instructions through out the house. Many places to relax. Overall great stay.

We enjoyed our stay. Loved the lakeside escape the house and amenities were great. Kid toys, fun lake items, etc were a bonus to keep kids entertained. We enjoyed walks through the neighborhood. Only downside was it is close to a highly traveled road so time on the deck or in the lake wasn’t as serene as we’d hoped it would be.
We had a wonderful time this past week. Check-in was flawless. The kitchen had pretty much anything we needed. We enjoyed the large great room. The deck was perfect for morning coffee. And we saw some beautiful sunsets from it too. There was plenty of space for all of us.
Very nice home that fit our large family perfectly! Loved sitting on the large deck and looking over the lake. The water was beautiful. We did lots of fishing and tubing. Great week away!
This was our 3rd stay and as before we hated to leave. Lakeside Escape is very clean, very spacious, and well stocked with everything you need. We will be back!
This house was amazing. There was everything that we needed for the stay. Plenty of room for everyone. We want to come back in the summer with our immediate family.
Property was clean and well supplied. Nice deck overlooking lake, nearby highway was a little loud but tolerable. The property worked well for the eight of us.

About the host
Hosted by Jonathan and Gail Steidl
Let me introduce ourselves as Jonathan and Gail Steidl. I grew up summers at a lake house and had the pleasure to share this with my wife and three children. In 2018 we decided to buy this property on Irogami Lake so we could share these same experiences with you and your family. There is everything from swimming, kayaking, volleyball or bring your own boat for some recreational fun in the summer months. In the winter time, cozy up to the fireplace or warm up in the hot tub after a day of downhill skiing at or tubing at Nordic Mountain. There is plenty to do at the lakehouse and we want you to make those memories that last for a lifetime!
Why they chose this property
We loved this property because of the beautiful lake view, ease of access to the lake and the sandy bottom to the lake. The location is walking distance from the Silvercryst restaurant, minutes away from the quaint town of Wautoma. Enjoy Ice cream at the Milty Wilty Drive-In or stop at the StoneRidge Piggly WIggly for all your barbecue needs or just to stop into town to do some shopping.
What makes this property unique
The cabin can accommodate a number amount of people for a family reunion, an anniversary party or a spiritual retreat. Enjoy the mornings with a hot cup of coffee on the deck or listens to the birds and the wind gently blowing thru the abundant amount of trees around the property. If the weather is not cooperating, we have three televisions, supplied movies or go down into the lower level and enjoy a game of Foosball or play some cards at the game table. There are also some board games in the entry way closet. We also have a fully stocked kitchen with pans, bake-ware and utensils for all of your baking and cooking needs. If there is something we do not have a hand, leave us a friendly suggestion and we will try to accommodate any of your needs. Stay TUNED for future remodeling so we can bring the Lakeside Escape up to date!
