The house was spacious and lovely with a wonderful view of the lake. Location was easy to find and parking was ample. The bedrooms were good size and the bathrooms were comfortable. The kitchen, dining area and great room were very convenient and comfortable. The two decks and lakefront were excellent. I needed a spacious five bedroom rental and this was about perfect.

Family enjoyed our stay at this lake home. There was plenty of space and sleeping quarters. The house was very clean inside, would recommend outdoor furniture and spaces be cleaned up a bit before guests arrive, debris, leaves, spider webs, and bird droppings. I would reccomend this vacation home, beautiful views.

Overall the property was exactly what we were looking for to host our family vacation this year. Being right on the water and within walking distance to Indiana Beach (5 minutes) allowed our family to have a ton to do during our stay. The only two small critiques would be 1) the firepit area is quiet small and doesn't really allow for sitting next to it and 2) the decks could use a good power washing as they felt slightly dirty. Overall, the place was great and we would stay here again at this price point!

Beautiful view and house!

House was great! We wanted to stay longer! The only issue was the water - some of our group are not used to septic. (I’m a country girl and I had no issue with it though) Lots of space so we could all be separate or together depending on what we were doing. And the only other thing was decks could have been cleaner. Would stay here again.

Fantastic

This makes the second time we have stayed at this property. And we have loved it both times. Works well for a large family. The location is very ideal. I was a little concerned that it might be too loud with Indiana beach so close by… But that was not a problem at all

About the host

Hosted by Gizela

Host profile image
Hallo ,
This is us in Indiana Beach Amusement Park across the water ;)
We are happy family of 5. Our oldest one is missing because she is always elsewhere when we take a picture .
Me and my husband together working hard to take care of our 3 wonderful children. We both came from Poland almost 20 year ago and continue our journey in United States.

Why they chose this property

First time we've visited Indiana Beach resort, we immediately follow in love with this place. Short after decided to look for a Lake House. This particular one was very first we saw and didn't have to wait long to make a decision. It is very simple- you feel good the moment you get in. First step on that patio and you don't want to leave.

What makes this property unique

The very unique benefit of this house is a view. Please take a moment sit back and just see what out there. Beautiful nature, blue sky and crystal clear lake. We hope you will enjoy thing place as much as we do.
