Outside, the newly finished maintenance-free lakeside deck creates a wonderful place to dine, relax, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Association-maintained grounds allow you to spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying the community’s sandy beach and exploring the lake. Spend your days boating, fishing, swimming, and enjoying beautiful Lake Ida, then head just down the road to Carlos Creek Winery and 22 Northmen Brewing Co. for wine, craft beer, wood-fired pizza, live music, and seasonal events.
