About this property

Full Rec Lake w/pontoon to rent! 🏖 Beach. 🐶 friendly.

Welcome to our Bonding Time LLC lake house! You’re in for a treat when you realize what sets this house and it’s owners apart from other vacation rentals! We have the advantage of living on the same lake, so we are able to provide prompt and exceptional customer service. You’ll have a five star experience and want to return! Our quality furnishings and tasteful decor will make you feel right at home.

Dogs possible at owners discretion and $125 fee. No pets other than dogs. Do not Instant Book if you have a dog, please send an inquiry first so we can discuss. There are additional rules that apply for dogs.

This home has walk-out to a level lot that then gently slopes to a natural beach shoreline (when the water level is down), and there is a small area of beach by the shore. The yard has beautiful mature trees, a fire pit, dock, and pontoon (minimal per stay charge). The home is located on a very quiet dead-end road, and only 5 minutes to the grocery store / downtown area.

Irogami Lake is a clean, shallow (maximum depth is about 8 feet), safe, low traffic lake. It is a full recreation lake perfect for skiing, tubing, wake boarding, fishing, etc.
Rest assured, your boat will work great on this lake despite the shallow depth and your skiers will be happy to not fight traffic.

Even though ski hours are 6am to 8:30pm (10am-8:30pm weekends and holidays), the lake is quiet enough that you can use our paddle boards, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, row boat, fish, or swim, etc without issue.

The home is perfect for your large group; sleeping 17 people in beds, 2 people on a sleeper sofa, and 1 child or small adult on a roll out bed. We also have a queen sized air mattress that two children could sleep on in the living room or game room. Four out of six bedrooms have queen/king non-bunk beds, so you will have plenty of comfortable sleeping room. There is a Master bedroom en suite, a main level shared bathroom with tub shower, and a lower level full bathroom with walk-in shower.

The open concept brand new kitchen allows for everyone to join together at meals. The island in the kitchen has seating and there’s a BIG table in the dining area to fit your group for mealtime (please protect this table while using it! Do not slide dishes across the wood. There are a number of table cloths you can use. Also, do NOT put anything hot on the wood without a trivet or hot pad). There is also a folding table with 4 chairs, and a folding poker table that when covered with table cloths can be used for meals.

The great family area in the lower level is a activity/game hub for your group. We have a bar area, pool table, darts, air hockey, foosball, board games, children's books, 65" TV and more in this area! Rainy days will not disappoint! For the sunny days, enjoy out door seating with large upper deck, and walk-out ground level patio overlooking a wonderful yard on the lake side for gathering together.

Lake toys: paddle boat, canoe, row boat/sailboat, 10' kayak, and two paddle boards included. We keep a number of life vests in the garage. Sizes and quantity listed later in this description. Return life vests and lake toys in a neat and orderly manner!

No-smoking inside or cigarette butts left outside, or security deposit is kept.

No indoor cooking of food with lingering pungent smells that cannot be removed before the next guests check in. We provide a Weber grill that can cook those smelly foods outdoors. The grill is new. You may use it only if you clean the grates, flame covers, and drip pan before you leave. It should look new. If not, a portion or all of your security deposit will be kept. Gas included, but if you run through the tank because you left the gas on you will need to refill the tank at your expense.

We recommend you look into cancellation protection in case something unexpected comes up and at the last minute you cannot make you trip and you are within the No Refund timeframe:
http://www.vacationprotection.com/?tab=Cancellation-Protection

There is a $99 insurance protection plan that will be added once you start your booking process. This will give both parties extra protection, and will cover up to $5,000 of accident coverage. If ANY damage occurs during your stay take a picture and send to the owners immediately so they can submit it to the insurance. This insures that security deposit would only be held for disrespect to property and not following rules.

A perfect weekend getaway
This property provided everything I could have wanted for a nice weekend get away with friends and family. We had 14 guests stay very comfortably. It was quiet and remote enough to be a nice relaxing change of pace from the city life, but also close enough to town to get all the groceries you need and close to a very nice ski resort! The hosts had impeccable communication and check in and check out was a breeze. Would definitely consider staying here again!

Overall Beautiful and Wonderful Place for Low-Key Groups!
The house is beautiful with a great view of the water! Pictures on the posting made it look bigger than it actually was, so our group of 18 adults was a little crowded feeling! If you are considering booking, be sure it will accommodate your group size first! There were some definite parts of the house that could use a little TLC and updating (air hockey table didnt work, basement door didnt seem to lock all the way, basement couch appeared to be in rough shape, and some of the beds in the basement and lofted bed upstairs were uncomfortable to sleep on. Overall though, we were very happy with the host's communication, general cleanliness of the place, and location on the lake!place,eipregrbefcomforbooking!

Perfect weekend!
We really enjoyed our weekend at Bonding time! There was plenty of space for everyone and the well-equipped game room allowed for plenty of friendly competition. The kitchen was the best-equipped of any place I have ever rented and the HUGE dining table provided seats for everyone but the weather was so beautiful, we actually had most of our meals outside on the deck. We rented the pontoon and also made good use of the kayaks and SUPs. Would definitely rent this place again!

About the host

Hosted by Diane Bond

Host profile image
We are Diane and Dave Bond, owners of Bonding Time LLC. Dave's day job is in health care, and Diane quit her health care job to manage the business. We have two wonderful grown daughters, and two young dogs that keep us busy.
Our cottage on Lake Irogami was a vacation home until a few years ago when we decided to move here full time. We loved the area so much that we bought another one two years ago, that we ended up renting out. Then when we saw this home for sale in 2019, we decided it would be great to renovate it and finalized the purchase on Jan. 31, 2020!

Why they chose this property

A beautiful travel through the country to our dead end road means this is a safe place with low traffic. Such a benefit that it is only a 5 minute drive to the downtown grocery stores, or to the area Supper Club's! The house is clean and renovated with new high end furnishings. The kitchen and bathroom have all the supplies you'll need. There is a gentle slope to the water that most grandma and grandpa's can navigate, has a little "beach" area near the shoreline, a fire pit and wood provided at approximately 5 pieces per day, and will not charge extra for the many indoor/outdoor toys and life vests that are supplied. The upper deck has an amazing view, as well as the walk out basement game room, and plenty of outdoor seating or places to run and play. Plus, there is a pontoon boat you can rent for a fee.

What makes this property unique

We are different from some other property management in the area, in that we really do care about the best interest of our guests so they have a five star experience during their vacation. We understand how precious time is, and often vacation days from work are limited ... so it's important to us that you are thrilled at how you chose to spend those days. There are many things that set us apart, including: prompt communication, excellent customer service, many indoor and outdoor "toys", gas grill and firewood included in the price, the ability to offer a pontoon boat at a minimal fee, and welcoming Fido to be part of your family trip! An added bonus: we have the property sprayed for Mosquitoes and ticks ... so you, your family and pets can enjoy the outdoors without dousing in bug spray.
