Perfect for our extended family vacay

We booked this for a small extended family gathering with 3 kids ages 8-15, parents and grandparents. We loved that it had so many kid friendly amenities. The pool was a big hit and the big bin of boards games came in handy on a cold and rainy day.

The house is a perfect setting for a family vacation! The house and pool were clean and the house had all the pots, pans and utensils needed to cook meals. Baby equipment was at the house freeing up car space for all our other belongings. Lots for the grandchildren to do and room for us to hang out and play games after swimming. I highly recommend this property.

The pool was the highlight of our visit. The weather was a little cooler than it has been all summer, and host Alastair offered without us even asking to turn up the heat. Kids were in the pool morning, noon, and night. Alastair is VERY responsive and very kind. Our party of thirteen had a wonderful time.

Great place for our family vacation

This home met our needs very well. 7 bedrooms and nice pool and large lounge area with lots of seating. We made good use of the grill and smoker which made for great evening dinners together rather than eating out. Our littles loved the trampoline and clubhouse. The house was well stocked with kitchen needs. The owner was great to work with. It’s 15 min from MI City and lots of other activities. We look forward to coming back.

Great for Extended Family

Plenty of space to spread out for 10+ adults. Between the porch chairs and pool furniture, there was always a place to sit in sun or shade. The forested lot provides beautiful views and privacy. All the bedrooms were comfortable and equitable, so every couple was happy.

Nice family house

The house accomodated our family great. Since the stay was a week before Memorial weekend outside wasn't the tidiest, but overall it was good. Plenty of bedrooms for our extended family and large dining room and living room made for a great gathering space. It worked out great to celebrate Notre Dame graduation at a reasonable price for the large family.

Love the Pool!

The kids were in the pool from sun up to sun down. Pool has great surroundings for those who want to watch the pool action, sun bathe, play on the trampoline, use the swings and slides or nap in the hammocks. Something for everyone.

Great place makes great times

When renting a property, you always hope that the place is as advertised and clean and quiet. This property did not disappointment and was better than advertised. From the great amenities, to the smallest little details, they have everything covered for young and old. Then to top off this experience, the excellent communication from the housekeeper and owner made our vacation a relaxing, enjoyable and hassle free trip that everyone enjoyed. We will be back again!

Great time!

The property was excellent. The outdoor space is amazing! The pool was much larger than it looks in the pictures. The house was clean and spacious. The house is on central time! (Unlike most of Indiana!) so that causes some confusion for us, but the host was very gracious about it. Probably, something that should be added to the listing.

Thanksgiving with the family

It was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 6 children. The kids had fun outside although the trampoline didn't seem very safe so we kept the kids off after the first day. The house was well equipped with pots, pans, dishes and silverware. The kids had fun with all the toys in the basement. The host was very nice and accommodating. We had no issues while there so never needed to contact anyone with a problem.

Perfect house

This was the perfect house for our stay. We had 12 people in our group and this house was perfect. Really enjoyed being in the woods but right off main highway. Easy access to South Bend which we came up for a game at Notre Dame. Next day we went up to Lake Michigan and Michigan City for a great lunch and to see the sights. House was close to plenty of food and shopping less than 10 minutes away. The house itself was great. Plenty of beds, stocked with everything you could need. Game room was awesome for our kids with plenty of entertainment even though too cold for pool and outside entertainment. Speakers in every room for music was a nice touch too. We would definitely stay here again. Recommend 10/10
