この静かな湖frontの家の息をのむような楽園

Thank you, Mark, for your kind review. Your family was a delight to meet. Your children have impeccable manners and were very respectful. I was very impressed by how you left the property. It seemed as though no one had occupied the home. Thank you once again for choosing us for your mini vacation. We hope you return for a longer stay! Best Wishes! Donna

Thank you, Katie, for your very special review. Being able to accommodate guests with accessibility issues brings me heartfelt joy. Thanks Again, Donna

Thank you, Thomas, for your wonderful review. Your words painted a picture of this season, this place, and the amenities. We hope to see you again! Many thanks, Donna

Thank you, Robert! We were happy to accommodate your out-of-town family. Looking forward to meeting your extended family next year! Thanks again, Donna

Thank you so much, Future Farmers of America guests. This group traveled from Texas, and they were very special. The students and their teachers have impeccable manners and a wonderful curiosity about our world. We hope to see them again. Best Wishes Donna

Thank you for your review Jude! It was great to meet you and your family. Hope you had a safe trip home. Donna

Thank you so much, Patricia! We are thrilled you got to witness the lake encompassed in the fall colors everywhere reflecting into the lake. You were great guests! We hope you will stay with us again with your extended family. Thanks again ! Donna

Hi Roy , Kathy and family! Thank you for your kind review. We really enjoyed getting to know and your adult children and their significant others! You were outstanding guests and we sincerely hope that you will return someday! Thanks again! All the best ! Donna and Fred

Thank you for your kind comments. One family lived on the East Coast and the other came from the West and picked our luxury vacation rental as it was in between and was lakefront. This was their first trip ever to Indiana! They took advantage of many Indiana attractions and couldn't believe the low traffic volume everywhere they went. They loved our Hoosier Hospitality, highlighted on and around our lake. Everyone waved to all. They were fascinated by our Sycamore Trees that are referenced in the song " Back Home Again in Indiana" sung every year just before the start of the Indianapolis 500-mile Race. They commented about the space in our home to spread out and enjoy quiet peaceful spaces. They celebrated two young guests' birthdays while here and had two guests' Senior Pictures Professionally taken amidst beautiful scenic areas on the property. We enjoyed all of you and hope to see you again someday. Donna and Fred

Thank you for your five-star review! We are always happy to go that extra mile for our guests so they may have a memorable vacation. We bought extra water toys a fishing pole and a brand new firepit in your honor along with smore makings in your welcome basket. You were a lovely family we enjoyed hosting.

You are very welcome! We loved meeting your multigenerational family. You were all so nice and very personable. Your family reunion was clearly very endearing for all of you. This was very special to us as the wheelchair bound child was able to enjoy all lake activities even paddle boarding while sitting down! We will always remember you! Thank you again, Donna and Fred

This guest should never be allowed to rent from a vacation rental site again. His college group caused over $1500 in damage to the property. He had the opportunity to view the lease agreement on April 21st, 2024, on the VRBO website. It is preposterous that we walked in on them without notice. We have 5 outdoor HD 24/7-night vision cameras recording all activities coming and going outside. These recordings included damaging our drive, using a hose on the upper deck leaving the knob turned on below resulting in a $250 water bill. The cameras recorded all 35 College students running in and out of the property late at night including unauthorized midnight swimming without lights at the dock. The agreement was signed on August 2nd, 2024, and listed 16 names ONLY not 35. He misrepresented his intentions. He put all of these young people at great risk without the benefit of adult supervision. It is untrue that we denied access to portions of the rental including dock/lake usage. We own a home adjacent to the rental that is our PERSONAL property, including two piers, a boathouse, a 120’ cement patio, and multiple watercraft. After Logan checked out my housekeeper and I discovered more damage. Two high-end microsuede couches were stained with dark red fluid and encrusted with food. Throw rugs were covered in mud, and throw pillows were ripped open and stained. The sink was filled with food scraps. Dishes were put away dirty. I found evidence of bodily fluids sprayed on bathroom floor walls and toilet tissue (black light viewing). Multiple lake neighbors asked about the party noise after midnight and if underage drinking was going on. All photographic evidence and damage estimates have been provided to VRBO and the Insurance company. This unauthorized event (forbidden by house rules) at our vacation rental posed a significant risk to our property, reputation, and legal standing. The parents of these students were completely unaware of the danger their children were placed in by the leader of this study group.

We have worked very hard to become a VRBO Premier Host and have received multiple five star reviews. We have loved hosting multiple families from all over the USA. Our guests have truly given us cherished and wonderful memories. This traveler unfortunately hosted an unauthorized event at our home. She invited two carloads of unregistered guests to our property. She allowed them access to our home, lake, storage units and use of our personal watercraft without our knowledge or permission. VRBO community forum speaks of this problem and notes that about 5% of all rentals are willing to break house rules or contracts without regard or respect of owners. We will continue to be attentive hosts and help make our guests experience a vacation to remember. We wish always to provide a generosity of spirit, characterized by warm kindness and courtesy.

Vikki, your multiple generations family should be on a tutorial on how to blend love, creativity, fun, and camaraderie! Your Children, Grandchildren, and precious Great Grandchidren are welccome back anytime.

Phil and family are very special people. They were so gracious to us and expressed many times how grateful they were to stay at our home. They left the home in pristine condition and even helped carry the bedding and towels down to the laundry area. Phil and Leslie are gourmet cooks and unitized in full our gourmet kitchen. It was fun to hear their plans for their nightly meals. We shared recipes and wonderful conversation while social distancing. We hope they will stay again. Bon Appetite! Donna and Fred

Thank you Leta for your kind review! It was so much fun for us to watch your multigenerational family enjoying their reunion together! Your precious grandchildren were so polite and sweet and have given us many cherished memories. Thank you for carefully observing our house rules and taking special care of our property. Hope to see you all again some day! Best wishes, Donna and Fred

Thank you so much Aubrey! We loved hosting you! We especially loved seeing you all in the water enjoying the merriment of your family and extended family for your reunion with people from all over the country❤️
