Beautiful home on lake

This home had everything our group of 6 needed for a comfortable stay. After a long trip, it was very welcoming to enjoy the plate of fresh baked cookies and the coffee bar! The home was very nicely decorated and very clean. We would definitely recommend this home.

Pawpaw’s funeral

The home is well appointed and the view is stunning. The beds are so comfortable and waking up to this view with a cup of coffee on the deck makes me want to stay again and again. We were in town for a funeral and the host had cookies for us and the sweetest card. So thoughtful, kind and unexpected.

Perfect!

We were in the area for a hockey weekend in Fort Wayne but we would 100% return for a longer stay when it gets warm. The house was very clean and described perfectly. My husband loved the little town and was able to get in a very scenic 15 mile run. Marion is an amazing host and extremely communicative. 12/10! Would stay again!

Beautiful home!

Several friends gathered here for a weekend getaway. It was perfect for our needs! It slept 10 comfortably. The kitchen was well-stocked, the house was clean, and the view was lovely! The dock was big enough for us to spread out and enjoy the sun, but there is not much “beach.” Overall, we were really grateful to have found such a beautiful place for our annual reunion!

Absolutely fabulous

House is beautiful, super clean and has everything needed for a short stay. The lake is CLEAR and so pretty. Everything was wonderful. Marion was super easy to connect with and was a superb "host"...That whole area is very relaxing and enjoyable. Went with 4 sisters and we all enjoyed it. Beds were SO comfy too which is hit or miss often. Well done!

Friends Family Trip

My group included multiple families. This place worked well for us. The bunk area was a hit with the kids. If you have a larger group, I recommend bringing some paper plates to utilize along with the provided plates. While there is no sandy beach area the dock is fairly large and accommodated our group. The beds were very comfortable and two of the bedrooms are on different floors from the kitchen and dining areas providing some extra privacy. If anyone in your party is older or has mobility issues, know that there are several stairs to get throughout the house and a lot of stairs to get down to the water.

Girls weekend 2024

The house was perfect for the amount of women that stayed. We had seven women and there was more than enough space. We don’t see each other very often and tend to let off a little steam when we’re there so the only thing I would say is if you’re a little louder on your weekends like we are ,it might be a little too close to neighbors. The only thing that I would suggest would be for there to be a kayak rack at the bottom of the steps so that they don’t have to be brought up and down. The weather was perfect, the house was great and I would definitely recommend , the house to others

Jansen/Reese family reunion 2024

This home was an outstanding choice. We were able to have our family stay together in the same place instead of multiple hotel rooms. (Ourseleves and our two kids and spouses and three grandkids.) We had plenty of room to play cards and the kids enjoyed the lake.. The kids loved the loft room. The home is right on the water front with an great view. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious. The kitchen/ dinning is set up very nicely. We were able to communicate easily with the owner/host and she responded quickly and was very helpful. The only thing that was sad was Hurricane (tropical storm) Beryl arrived as an unwelcome guest. But that just gave us more time to play cards and games with family. Sites we visited was the Debrands Chocolat Factory and Sweetwater, and Science Center for the kids in Ft Wayne. A great time was had by all. We will be interested in returning next summer. Thank you so much for the gracious hospitality and being able to create lasting memories. Sheila

Beautiful lakeside weekend

Great house and great location. Very comfortable and clean. The lake and the area was lovely. It was nice that it came with a dock but be prepared bc it’s several stairs to get down! We also enjoyed the kayaks that were available for use. We would come here again!

Long weekend on the lake

The lake home and sunny weather was perfect for our family get together. Lots of room inside and outside for our group of five to enjoy meals, play games and relax. The deck was a favorite spot to spend peaceful early mornings. The master bath was a treat! Marion was very responsive during our stay and her suggestions for pontoon rentals added to our enjoyment of the lake, as well as the provided kayaks. Wonderful trip!

Excellent Experience

You could not ask for a better location and accommodations. Checkin was quick and trouble free. The accommodations were just what we needed and the little ones loved the special sleeping areas. We looked the location and the views early in the morning and at night. Hoping to have the opportunity to vrbo this location again and bring the boat and spend a longer time enjoying. Hats off to the owners, great place and great time!

Wonderful property by the lake!

It was an enjoyable experience staying at this property. It was close to Chain O’Lakes park, which was the main reason for our stay. The kids had a blast with the fun playroom / bedroom with 3 twin beds (1 of which is in a top bunk disguised as a house) and 1 full bed in a cave (according to my 6 yr old). We look forward to returning again next fall!
