The property was very cute and newly updated. The space was perfect for our group. Unfortunately the weather was still a little cold but from what we could see they have everything to enjoy the property. We would definitely stay here again.

Great house to stay in. However, if you bring a boat and you want to unpack it before you drop it in the water, the driveway and tiny street creates a serious problem.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. House was very clean and we loved the modern remodel of the interior. We enjoyed the outdoor porch. A little tight in the neighborhood with close neighbors but they were all friendly. The only part I would make more clear is the dock area is narrow and it was somewhat difficult to navigate with an inboard ski boat, but we figured it out. Lake is outstanding with beautiful water quality. Would definitely book again!

Lake Trip

We had such a great time staying here on Lake Wawasee. We were able to bring our boat and have it right behind the house. The house was perfect for our group of 9 and had everything we needed. The location of the house is perfect as well, being close to town and walking distance to a coffee shop and restaurants. The host was very friendly and helpful. We are already looking forward to our trip back next summer!

Family Weekend

We had a wonderful time in this very up-to-date, immaculate house for our family get-a-way. There was plenty of room both inside and outside. We hope that it is available next year when we come back to our favorite lake. The location is great! The only downside is that it's very difficult getting a boat into the area. You do have great views of the lake from the deck. Thanks for sharing your lovely lake house.

Paradise on the water

The house has been updated with everything in mind. All of the subtle things made it spectacular for our group, such as: cornhole, the grill, boat dock, bunk beds, YouTubeTV, connect 4, the location to The Frog Tavern, AC units throughout the home that are able to be managed to that specific area. I was nervous our surf boat (ATX Type-S 20’) wouldn’t fit in the dock space, however it was just fine. The neighbors were very friendly as well.
