Great place io stay near Indiana Beach!

We loved our stay here. The house was very clean and decorated beautifully. The large yard overlooking the water was a fun place to hang out. We enjoyed the fire pit and all the outdoor seating. We stayed here for a weekend but wish we would have had more time here, it was really fun.

Perfect family escape

We stayed Monday- Friday and the place was amazing! Super clean and all the amenities that we could have asked for! A fully stocked kitchen and plenty of fire wood for a fire! A beach is a short walk away and a quick drive into town for anything we needed! We will definitely be back!!

Great time at an awesome house.

My family and I loved the home and the area. We loved the fishing and even rented a boat and took the kids tubing. We had such a great time we are looking into purchasing a summer home in the area. Thank you!

Perfect getaway!

Just a quick trip for us. But the house was perfect for the size of our group. The house had all the amenities we needed. The dock and fire pit area was great to rap up the evenings. Short drive to the water park, golf, etc. for the price you cannot beat it! I highly recommend.
