Great location with all of the amenities promised. Hosts were very nice and the house itself perfect for our annual friends trip. Will be booking again in the future.
We enjoyed our weekend at Leah’s lake house! Great communication, nice, clean house with everything we needed for the weekend. The pontoon was an extra perk that we enjoyed cruising around Flint Lake. Would definitely stay again!
This was a great house with lake access and the property description is accurate. I was able to receive a brief boating instruction at check in, which made the weekend very relaxing and stress free. The house is fully equipped to just allow you to enjoy the beautiful setting.
Awesome lake house. We’ve been coming for years. Always a pleasure to visit. Friendly owners. Perfect size Pontoon is always a plus. Downtown has so many great options for food. Pier fishing is great.
Property was great for our family to gather and enjoy visiting with one and other. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks and pontoon boat. Weather was perfect for sitting outdoors.
Our family really enjoyed our stay at the lakehouse! Everything was perfect! There was not a dull moment with everything included- the kayaks & boat were a great time!! We hope to come back soon!
Perfect home on a lake for a quite/chill stay. If you are looking for a lake house I highly recommend. I took my fiancé here for his birthday for the weekend and it was perfect.
Leah’s Lake house was a wonderful retreat, pontoon boat and all. The property is exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. The lake is peaceful and a perfect place to stay while enjoying the sites in and around Valparaiso.
Great weather, lots of time on the lake and great memories made . The cottage is clean, comfortable and well stocked. Hosts and always been really nice helpful and friendly people.
We booked our stay the day before we left and were so excited about vacationing somewhere new. We chose this property because it had a lot to offer to keep our small kids busy. The boat didn’t include extra fees which we really liked, the kayaks were in good shape. We didn’t have to stress about life jackets because the lake house included them.
From communication to accommodations it was tops. Weather was rough for 1 of the days , however, the house was so comfortable it wasn’t a bother. I would recommend this listing for anyone who would like a place to gather with family or friends.
We had a great time at the lake house! Leah was accommodating to an early and lake check out allowing us to use the boat even longer. The bed was very comfortable. I would come again!
The accommodations were very good but the lake was a disappointment.
The process was good.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 June 2022
I’m happy to hear the accommodations were good along with process of using the house/pontoon. My ad clearly states the lake is 90 acres. These 3 older gentlemen were angry they only managed to catch 10 fish in a week. Unfortunately, I have no control over the fishing. I wish their review better reflected my lakehouse/pontoon/property as opposed to the fishing.
Leah's place provided a much needed respite. The place was clean, comfortable and well-stocked. Our toddler had a great time with the toys and games. This time of year it was very peaceful and extremely quiet. We'd love to come back during boating season!

About the host
Hosted by Leah
My name is Leah and my family and I have been renting our Lakehouse through VRBO for the past 6 years. We absolutely love hosting!! I love to travel and I love animals. Warm summer nights are my favorite but I also love to go skiing in the winter.
Why they chose this property
My lakehouse is very special to my family. We work together to make sure our guests have the best possible trips. We will do everything we can to make you feel at home!
What makes this property unique
My lakehouse is very unique because we include a 2018 18ft Sun Tracker Pontoon with rentals from Spring-Fall. Due to insurance, my dad has to show guests how to properly operate the pontoon and have them fill out a few pages of paper work. He loves meeting new people and showing them our property!!
