This house on the lake was beautiful and perfect for our four couples who stayed in town for a Notre Dame game. House was clean, neighbors super friendly and all was wonderful. If we had more ti.e, the lake would have been our main focus but we had other priorities. GO IRISH!!

What a wonderful place—I would give it six stars if I could. My entire family came for my son’s graduation. We couldn’t have found a nicer place to stay. Each one of us absolutely loved it! Thank you to Ronda and Tim!

The house was a great choice for our family vacation. We traveled with four adults and a toddler. There was plenty of room inside and a great outdoor area. We loved having a small sandy beach and dock and a great lake view. The house was very well stocked. We used the paddleboards and kayaks and enjoyed evenings on the patio. Great location on a small lake close to downtown South Bend. Enjoyed touring Notre Dame, visiting the zoo and a couple of breweries and restaurants. Also took advantage of a couple of golf courses and local parks. Hosts were responsive to any questions.

Home away from home, clean & very comfortable. It was nice floating in the lake on hot summer days, cooking out and playing games with the family. The perfect vacation spot… half way point for meeting up with our son. We absolutely loved it and plan to go again.

Our hosts were very welcoming and accommodating. The check-in was extremely easy. The lake house was very clean and comfortable. My family had a very nice stay. After our trip, we discovered that my mother forgot her iPad in the Lake house. The hosts were so kind and helpful, we got the iPad back without any issues.

This has to be one of the most relaxing family getaways we have been on. The house had all of the amenities needed and was very comfortable, true Lakehouse feel. The lake was very warm and shallow getting in, perfect for the kids to play. Ronda, our host, was super sweet, thoughtful, and quick to respond. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I would highly recommend!

Great family lake house

This location is the perfect spot for a family getaway! The sandy beach and shallow water was the ideal lake access for our family aging in range from 4 months old to 72 years! We spent most of our days playing in the sand, swimming, fishing, and kayaking and the evenings sitting around the campfire - it was fun and relaxing for all :)
