This was our second year in a row staying at this home. We loved it so much last year and it fit our family and extended family well. Thereโ€™s a lot to do in the house even in winter. Plenty of spaceโ€ฆamenities..and everything you need it has. Kitchen well stocked and it feels like your own home. The local area has enough to do in winter as well. Weโ€™ve hit local shopping/bowling/movies. Not far from the amazing Fort Knox paintballโ€ฆif itโ€™s open itโ€™s a must do for the guys!

We had our Christmas celebration here. We loved it so much. 6 burner stove with 2 ovens it was gorgeous. Also the view of the lake is breathtaking. The bathrooms were like going to a spa. The overhead shower felt like a waterfall. All of the windows and doors were state of the art. Our host Brendan was so nice and so kind. We felt like we were in our own home. The refrigerator was huge and so was the freezer. Also another refrigerator located on lower level was so awesome. I highly recommend staying here we will be back. We traveled 3 hrs to get here from Illinois and it was well worth the trip.

Canโ€™t say enough about how great this place was. We stayed here for a long weekend trip for the Notre Dame / Purdue game. Staying 45 minutes away from campus was well worth it for everything this house has to offer. The view, amenities, cleanliness all top notch. Great communication throughout the trip. A plus is there were more bathrooms then what I understood there to be from the listing description and photos which made getting ready with our large party a breeze. Overall 10 out of 10. Will stay here again for future ND trips!

I have nothing bad to say. Beautiful place, lots to do, you donโ€™t even need to leave the home to have a great time. Attentive host. Exactly as described. Amazing view of the lake. Would definitely stay again. If you do need to run out to get something stores are close by.

I canโ€™t even begin to say how much of a hidden gem this place is !!! The host was unbelievably accommodating to requests and responded almost immediately. Check in was super easy and we were amazed to find not only what the pictures show but so much more ! This house had TONS of beds and places for everyone to sleep , including two of the rooms to be lake view and SO beautiful ๐Ÿ˜ ( lots of pics below ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ) . Every single bathroom was stocked with tons of toilet paper , everything youโ€™d need to shower , toilet spray and all linens . The kitchen was stocked with any type of cookware you could think of and need , tons of coffee cups and wine glasses and dishes for a big crowd, dishwasher supplies , cleaning supplies , a coffee maker , a keurig and a giant box of k-cups , other coffee & fixings, and so many seats between the giant kitchen island and top deck table that had 18 chairs ! The best part - the outside is SO beautiful ! You just need a beach towel and you are set to do anything !
