Summary: The house was amazing! It was beautifully decorated & was clean. There were ample bath/kitchen towels, cleaning supplies, toiletries etc. that allowed our stay to be comfortable. With 2 living, dining & kitchen areas, it gave our group much more space to spread out comfortably. There is plenty of parking & great outdoor space. We’ve already booked for next year!

Summary: Beautiful property with tons of amenities. It was clean, stocked, and as advertised which is a huge plus for VRBO properties. Owner was prompt and thorough in communications, we never had any issues at all. We stayed for a long weekend with 2 other families and we had a great time. The house had everything we needed for meals and family time. Only warning is that the downstairs bedroom bunkbeds really are for kids. If you're over 5' they will be really uncomfortable, I had to sleep on the couch in the living room being over 6'. That said you could easily sleep 4-6 kids in there so depends on your guest list. One other very minor issue is they have a 4 person peddleboat on property but it was pretty gross so we didn't try to use it. Kayaks were great and the lake was beautiful and surrounded by beautiful properties.

Summary: Stayed at this property to see family near by and attend the Indy 500. It was the perfect place! There is lots of space. It is decorated very cute and has everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. It was private and secluded in the woods. It’s a quiet and peaceful place, wish we could’ve stayed longer, but hope to come back again!!

Summary: It started with 6 friends to celebrate my 70th birthday. 2 friends from out of state surprised me and slso a surprise party. This house was perfect! Very well stocked, comfortable and enough room to spread out to play cards or visit. I would definitely book again! And the host responded very quickly. We loved the scenery with the snow and watching the wildlife.

Crystal J. Dec 26, 2024 11:11:49 PM

Summary: 2nd time renting. House still amazing as the 1st time. Exactly what we needed for a long weekend away with our kids!

Chris M. Sep 30, 2024 07:49:12 AM

Summary: We stayed 2 nights over the weekend. The house had all of the necessities needed for a great, comfortable, and relaxing stay. The only issue we had was the constant music coming from the local bar scene. It sounded like we were at a night club rave! We used the kayaks and had a big fire in the pit. The little extras made the difference between a good stay and an amazing stay. Thanks for the little things. We would highly recommend this to families and friends looking to have a great time. Make sure you check the live music schedule though!

BETH H. Sep 3, 2024 02:09:21 AM
