We Bought a Zoo.. I mean a Resort!
It is with utmost excitement and joy that we formally announce our purchase of the Betsy Ross Resort on Lake Ida from Gary and Patty Palmersheim. They have stewarded this property so well the last 10 years and we are thrilled to be the next owners and operators of the Resort!
We love the thought of our kids growing up on a beautiful Lake Ida property like this getting to learn so many life skills and have built-in jobs
The Resort will operate largely the same as it is right now with a few tweaks that we hope will enhance our guests’ experience and summer vacation. We have a number of projects taking place this fall/spring and look forward to welcoming guests back for the 2025 summer season! The Resort will be rebranded and open in the spring as ‘The Shores on Lake Ida’. The gift shop or ‘Shore Shop’ will be revamped a bit and open to the public, in addition to our Resort guests. We will be offering a curated selection of quality Lake Ida apparel, light groceries, everyday toiletries, ice, firewood and bait. Our pontoon, kayak and SUP rentals will also operate out of this building.
We still have some vacancy for the 2025 summer season, as well as two houses that are available for short and long-term stays from now until May 2025. If you are interested in booking your stay, please call us at 320-766-8226 or visit our website using this link.
We want to recognize God is 100% responsible for the blessings we have in this life. We walked a journey this summer that was orchestrated by His hand in so many ways. We can’t wait for many memories to come! It's now been nearly a month since taking over and we can say this property is truly a special piece of Douglas County and Lake Ida!
