The property was well represented. Dog friendly with a fenced in yard. The owners left is dog dishes and bed. Plenty of room to lounge and entertain. We enjoyed our long weekend at this property.

Perfect for our family trip while attending a festival at Alpine Valley.Quiet neighborhood and pretty views of the lake from the large wrap around deck. We only spent 3 days and most of it we were gone so we didn't spend much time in the house.We would have used the fire pit & grill on the deck if we had time. Have to say, for being an older lake house- it was one of the best stocked Vrbo we've ever stayed at. We always travel with our large family and most places that provide sleeping space for a larger amount never have enough utensils, serving dishes, or cookware.Not only was there plenty-it was also in great condition and of good quality. Room enough for our family of 6. Clean and newer appliances. Minor cosmetic flaws, but the cleanliness and ample supplies made it easy to overlook some paint chips and older furnishings.Pet friendly- although we chose to leave our dogs at home this trip, it would have been perfect for them. Fenced in yard, dog bed, dog toys and even dog dishes! Cool coffee maker, we wish we had known it was there and we would have bought the pods that go with it, but the supplied coffee for the regular brewer was nice on our first morning.Huge plus for me-the best bath towels I've ever had. Thick & large.We liked them so much, we contacted the owner & asked where they came from,so we can purchase for our own house! Easy in,easy out and great communication with owner and rental process was smooth.Left my earrings and owner was kind enough to send to me.

Fantastic Getaway Spot

First, we want to thank John for trusting us with his new home! We had a great time. The house itself is super cute and very nicely renovated. The fact this it is pet friendly made the spot ideal for us! The kitchen is fantastic and we loved the little island, which made the area very functional. The wrap around balcony with plenty of seating was such a bonus! The house wide water filtration is great as is access to the laundry room. The only downside is that the yard is one big hill and uneven to walk on. That being said, this is a new rental and has a new septic tank. I have no doubt that in the near future the yard will be designed to much more usable. An added bonus is that John is one of THE most promptly communicative and friendly hosts we have ever dealt with. We definitely recommend this property! Lastly, we got lucky and rented a pontoon from Whitewater Lake Boat Rentals. If you are looking for a watercraft, contact Justin. They would be our go to choice for a motorized rental! We also rented kayaks from the local campground they were very friendly - but be mindful that they close early.

Wedding Weekend

We absolutely loved this house. We will be coming back to stay again very soon. We were in town for a family wedding at our family house across the lake. This house provided everything we needed. Process was smooth, house was clean, and beautiful inside/out! Backyard looks out over the lake and the location is amazing. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place in Whitewater!

Clean, newly remodeled lake property

The place was clean, newly appointed and laid out very well. We wish we had more time to spend there at the lake because the area was beautiful. I have only one small suggestion- with the property being 15 min from any store, it would have been nice to have had soap, shampoo, paper towels and coffee, but none of these were on site. Thank you for having us at your lovely property!

About the host

Hosted by John T Fitzgerald

Host profile image
After years of renting rundown dog friendly rentals, we decided to invest in our own and use the house regularly for ourselves. Our neighbors are extremely friendly and the community is very welcoming.

Why they chose this property

We liked the proximity to the lake and the quietness of the surroundings so we can unplug from our busy lives in the city.

What makes this property unique

We are dog friendly and have elevated view of the lake and stars.
