Great location and very clean, spacious place.Master bedroom on main which makes everything easy.Price reflexes the parents weekend need which we will happily pay for it again. The dinning area has a good layout and is a nice place to hang out.Spacious bathroom with washer, dryer is clean and convenient. A lot of beds upstairs makes sleep over easy to manage.If the opportunity rises, we will definitely rent it again. Susan has been very kind that we were able to unload some perishable in the refrigerator before the check-in time. That was very helpful. All in all, it was a great stay. We would definitely rent it again.

Unfortunately came to check in at midnight after having pre-arranged times and dates, they knew we would arrive at this time, and there was someone at the property! This was a very busy weekend, no other places to stay in the area. Host answered the next day, finally we checked in. Pots and were unsusably old, had to buy some. Didn’t even attempt to make it up to us.

Nice House Close to Downtown!

We stayed there parents weekend of 2021 visiting sons at the academy. The house was exceptionally clean and appointed with just about every essential item one would need. Location is walking distance to downtown restaurants, shopping and beach park, the academy is a short 5 minute (or less) drive. Thanks so much for allowing us to utilize your house!

Early Bird!

We loved this cute house right off Main Street. We learned quickly that it’s a great idea to rent a golf cart to zip around town instead of driving. Because the location was right “downtown”, there was a lot of early action….trash trucks, supply trucks and lawn mowing. If you have kids, this is the place! Lots of twin beds. Would highly recommend!

Unique house in charming Culver

If you want to immerse yourself in this unique, charming town on the shores of Lake Maxinkuckie, this is a house to rent. Hardwood floors, a large, expansive bathroom with high ceilings and skylights. One bedroom downstairs with brick and plaster walls. Upstairs are two bedrooms with five beds. Walk around the corner and you're on Main Street with restaurants (Lucrezia Trattoria and Cafe Max) and boutique shopping. Highly recommend both. Especially, Cafe Max for breakfast. But the highlight of my visit was getting to know Susie Mahler. Susie owns this home as well as Cafe Max. She started the restaurant 30 years ago. If you want to get a feel for this town go there. Look at the walls (Historical photos of Culver Military Academy as well as the local high school.) Susie unites town and gown communities into one. No one gets preferential treatment-- including George Steinbrenner and John Cougar Mellencamp. They both wait their turn in line to dine.

Nice Place, Great Location!

Met up with out of state family at this cute accommodation, 6 adults. House was clean and well stocked with linens, & cooking utensils. Very convenient, walking distance to shoppes, restaurants and the beach! CVS across the street, BP gas station 2 blocks away yet very little traffic noise. Worthy of 5 stars⭐️

Great location and super comfy

Small and quaint house but great distribution of space and very comfy. Five single beds on top floor, queen and day bed on bottom floor that sleep two each. You can fit 9 people ver comfortably. The kitchen is a nice size and fully equipped and the dinning table is round which is perfect for great conversation. We had a wonderful time at the property and it’s location can’t be beat with walking distance to the famous cafe Max and shopping. Draw backs: no closets or place to hang clothes. Only One bathroom which can be tricky with a large group. However, an easy fix would be to privatize the shower doors and then you could have five people using the bathroom at once. My friends and I will definitely go back!
