We rented this place for an annual get together of a group of guys who come in from all over the country, and it turned out to be perfect. The location is great - only about an hour from Indy, where most of us live, and also only about a half an hour from the Indy airport for the folks who flew in. Secluded, very private location with great decks, a dock and a firepit, as well as a lake perfect for swimming. It was the little things that really made this place great - lots of dishes and nice appliances, plenty of beds (of 13, only 2 or 3 folks had to sleep on couches) and lots of out door lighting. This house is great for a trip like this and also a family vacation.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This home was absolutely wonderful!!! It was beyond a normal vacation house, it had all the little added touches to make it special and feel like a home away from home. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. It was secluded for privacy and had lots of room outdoors to do many different activities like hiking, boating, fishing, and swimming all without leaving the property! The state park was so close, it was a great find, we did not know it was there till we got there. I think we will be back again!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

We spent a long weekend at the Dogwood Guesthouse. This beautiful home is very well equipped and comfortable for even a large group of people. We had 11 people from grandparents down to 11 year olds. All of us enjoyed our stay. Several folks went fishing in the private stocked lake, others went swimming and/or boating, the golf cart was very popular for exploring the many trails, and the fire ring got lots of use in the evening. Although the listing was completely accurate, the property was even nicer than we expected.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

There are no words to express what this amazing house gave to my family, but I will try. There were 14 of us in this house and had room for more. The peace, quiet and privacy was perfect for a reunion of the families of 3 sisters in their 80's. All needs were met and satisfied. The men fished (30 some fish caught), the ladies share memories. Fixing meals in the gourmet kitchen was easy as everything needed was there. We just brought the food.The house was clean, well stocked and inviting. The lake created a feeling of peace. The upper deck is ideal for morning coffee or just watching the lake and reading a book. TV with surround sound and pool table on the lower level entertained the younger ones well. Literally,pack just clothes and food, everything else is there! Thank you for such a wonderful home!Owner response: Thank you for the great review. We love to hear back from our guests. Come and visit us again sometime. The Edwards Family

It was an absolutely beautiful place for our daughters wedding and the cottage was perfect place to host all the people who had traveled from out of town to attend. We couldn't believe there was even a crib and a high chair available for our use. Rooms were clean and decorated fabulously! We are planning to hold a family reunion back at the same place in 2015!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

Vaughn My family and I really enjoyed our stay, the house was fantastic and was more than we expected, it had everything we needed and more. The weather was great, so we were able to enjoy the property, even had a fire and roasted marshmellows. The kids had fun on the paddle boat and we even caught a couple fish (catch and release). The only suggestion I would make is to have a couple more or larger fry pans. Thanks for a great time. The Corcoran familyOwner response: Glad you liked the place. Thank you for the suggestion. We have added more fry pans to the kitchen. Vaughn

My wife and friends and I stayed here for the weekend while racing and Putnam Park Raceway for the end of the race season. I was just 15 minutes from the track and was such an amazing place to stay. We used the campfire area both nights and were able to enjoy a peaceful country evening around the fire. A garage was available for us to store and work on our bikes when we weren't at the track. The kitchen was well laid out with everything labeled for our convenience! The kitchen dining room held us all comfortably with room to spare which most places can't say. Everything was so clean and comfortable and we can't wait to come back next season and stay again!Owner response: Thank you for the great review. We look forward to having you as our guests again.

We had a great family reunion at Dogwood Springs. The house is fully stocked with just about everything you need. Vaughn is a great host and was always available to answer any questions we had. The lake was fabulous and there are lots of trails to explore. The kids had a great time using the paddle boats and the fishing boat allowed my father-in-law to fish as much as he wanted. There is also a floating dock that many people can climb on to go fishing. Very relaxing getaway.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway.
Owner response: Were glad you enjoyed your stay at Dogwood Springs. Our goal is to provide a fun and comfortable place for families to get together and build good memories. Thanks for your review. It's great to hear from our guests. Come back and see us again.
