Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Gary Duncanson

I grew up in Northwest Indiana and went to Purdue University and received a BSEE degree. I had a world renowned Software Company and tend to over do everything I do. The home you are staying in was built as if I was going to live there. My wife and I tried to make the most comfortable enjoyable environment to stay at the lake. We are always open to suggestions to make it better. We live right down the street and are always available to resolve any issues. If you have questions that are not addressed in the guest book, please feel free to call us.
Why they chose this property
Because it is a great neighborhood and we live down the street. Very quiet and great neighbors with tree covered streets make walks, golf cart rides, or bike rides a great time.
What makes this property unique
Smart home with a great back porch with catwalk to large deck. Grill with a rotisserie and an outdoor fridge makes it nice to have cold drinks on porch and deck & dock. Fishing pole holders are built into dock. There is a large ice machine in the bar by the living room that makes the stay more enjoyable. Be sure to try out tge steam sauna in the master bath. Enjoy the 71” soaking tub in the master too. Media room makes watching a movie or a game enjoyable after a long day at the lake.
