Great location for us. It was located on a busy intersection but only 1 block from Winona Lake. Plenty of room in LR area and a full basement you can utilize. Basement contained a foosball table.

I had a couple family members including 2 little kiddos coming to stay because of my WSU graduation, and it was perfect for that. Enough separate rooms for privacy, the kids LOVED the toys and the short walk to the lake/park. The owner communicated with me early on regarding some questions and they were so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend the stay!

Great communication and responsiveness! Great house with a lot of space and everything you need. One recommendation are the pillows in the bedroom closest to bathroom are not terribly comfortable-too hard.
