Family fun at the lake

My family and I very much enjoyed staying at this property. Everything was as describe in the listing - and better. The furnishings, amenities, and kitchen items are all better than most other vacation rentals we have stayed at. Bob and Jayne, the property owners, are very nice folks. All in all, we had a great stay.

This home exceeded our expectations!!

Not only was this a beautiful home, it was comfortable, well equipped kitchen, gorgeous yard including deck and gazebo on the river front. Our young grandsons enjoyed watching all the boats, jet skis on the water and exploring their surroundings. The homeowners were very welcoming and gracious.Our trip went to fast, but the memories will last forever and we hope to be back again!

The Perfect Family Getaway for All Ages

This was the perfect place for a greets getaway from the busy life of Chicago! This home is on the lake which was perfect for fishing, having a bond fire 🔥 or just playing family games outside. It was also located close to Indiana Beach, but the best part was just the peace and tranquillity of the property. The Hosts were very friendly and accommodating to our family!
