Lake Haze did not disappoint!

Our stay was fantastic. Lake Haze was a perfect getaway for our 4 couples that have been vacationing together for years... since our college days. We cherish our one weekend a year together and Lake Haze did not disappoint.

Family Vacation

This was our third year staying at Lake Daze for our family vacation. We love the house, it fits our family perfectly and is kid & baby friendly. We enjoy the shallow water for the kids to swim in by the dock.

2024 Family Vacation

Lake Daze has everything you would need and more. Yard/Dock/Lake were great for everyone! The lake was the main draw and it didn’t disappoint. Water depth was only 2 feet (super nice for the kids) at the end of the dock and water clarity was 8+ feet!

Wonderful home to enjoy with a family. Very clean and comfortable. The owners obvious take a lot of pride and care for the property. Only downside is the race track noise from BIR.

Lake Wonderful Daze

The house was so spacious and clean. It had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable to sleep in. The lake was very shallow but it was great to just float in and stay cool.

Good Time

It is a very nice place and comfy beds. Very shallow lake which worked good for toddler. The only down side is Brainered International Speedway is very close and when outside we heard all the drag racing so it was hard to carry on a conversation when outside with all the noise from BIR.

Great place to stay!

These are great people to rent from, They offer so much to make your vacation fun and enjoyable. The property is great and clean, close to a lake with a dock. They have 2 canoes plus 1 kayak for their renters to use. Joan is great about answering questions quickly and seems to be very polite and helpful. We have stayed there 2 two years and plan to stay next year!!

We had the most wonderful time!!! The location and property were spectacular. It offered everything we needed and more. The view and the lake were the best! The quick response from the property owner was much appreciated. Our only regret was we wished we’d booked a longer stay.

Perfect Family Weekend

It was a perfect place to stay right next to BIR. We were there for weekend racing but not everyone was attending. It was so close we could go back for lunch, get the kids and they were able to enjoy time at the track without having to be there all day (which gets to be a long day)! The house was very well stocked with everything we needed and more. We will need to go back sometime in the summer when we can take advantage of all of the outdoor equipment they had for use.

Beautiful Lake Home!!

We had a great week at Lake Daze! This is a beautiful home with plenty of room for all 7 of us adults. Everything was just as pictured. It is close to the lake with great views! Our week was very warm and we spent a lot of time on the lake. Very nice swimming area with a sandy bottom and great lake for boating. Nice fire pit area which we used nightly. Joan was great to work with and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your place with us!

Perfect Family Spot

This was our first extended family get together. We had 4 families, with kids ranging from 1-4. Lake was perfect for the kiddos. Lots of space to run and play in the yard. Bedrooms and amenities were wonderful. No bathtub which was a little tricky with young ones. But overall absolutely wonderful stay.

Holly Jolly Christmas

We rented this home over the Christmas holiday and it met our needs to a "T". The home has great views of the lake and in the mornings we were treated to beautiful sunrises. The kitchen has a nice big center island that can seat many people and is located between 2 living rooms. The lower cabinets are labeled making it easy to find cookware, kitchen towels, silverware, etc. The bathrooms are nice size and have the softest bath rugs I have ever stepped on. The house is meticulously maintained and the owners have it well stocked with everything. They promptly answered any questions we had. The home was nicely decorated including a Christmas tree. We loved the Grinch hung up on a pole by the lake that lit up at night. We had family over for Christmas Eve dinner and there was plenty of room for everyone. To quote grandma, "This was the best Christmas in a very long time! " I recommend this place to anyone looking to get away. You will not be disappointed.

Family get together!

After what this past two years has brought us it was nice to have a space we felt comfortable gathering in. The property was very nice, comfortable and all we could have hoped for, no disappointments here. Even thou we were there in the fall there was plenty to keep everyone occupied. The kids really enjoyed the kid friendly things they found to enjoy. Enjoyed all the restaurants, shops and breweries near by. Kids especially enjoyed the putt putt golf course and of course the go carts! Homeowners were very responsive and available along the way and everything went very smoothly. Thank you for sharing your lovely property.

The house and layout was absolutely perfect for our family group. Kitchen/sleeping arrangements were perfect. We knew there was a drought, but didn’t anticipate how that would impact our trip. Thankfully our pontoon rental refunded our deposit as we were not able to have a boat at the dock. I know there is nothing the owners can do about that situation, but we would have made other plans if we knew that we couldn’t dock a boat. And, we didn’t ask about it, we just assumed. We should have asked more questions with the current low water situation .
