We also want to disclose that we have Ring cameras on the property, we did not want to resort to this but we have been experiencing costly damage to our property and had no choice but to install cameras on the outside of the property. We have two in the front for people and guests who enter onto the property and we have one on our pontoon boat in the back. We respect our renters privacy and these are only to be used for security only and to monitor the pontoon boat. Thanks for understanding.

Great time at the lake

The cabin was what we needed and even though the weather was on the cooler side our older boys enjoyed the kayaks and paddle boat. We rented the pontoon so loveded the tour around the lake and a bit of fishing. Just time relaxing on the deck and enjoying the lake view. The cabin is clean, well stocked and plenty of games. Only negative was the highway noise seemed to be a trucking route but not enough to spoil our camp fires.

Family vacation on the lake

Our family enjoyed our stay at Lakeside Escape. We had 8 adults and 9 kids ranging from 21 months to 8 years. We had plenty of room and comfy beds. We really enjoyed fishing from the dock. Water was very clear. One child got swimmer's itch so we suggest washing after being in the water with soap and a washcloth. There are some cute shops in town. Lots of games and puzzles for rainy days.

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan and Gail Steidl

Host profile image
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 closet in the third bedroom. 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!
