Overall the property was exactly what we were looking for to host our family vacation this year. Being right on the water and within walking distance to Indiana Beach (5 minutes) allowed our family to have a ton to do during our stay. The only two small critiques would be 1) the firepit area is quiet small and doesn't really allow for sitting next to it and 2) the decks could use a good power washing as they felt slightly dirty. Overall, the place was great and we would stay here again at this price point!

Great stay

Had a great stay, house was clean and all of the furniture was very nice. Had 10 people, plenty of room for everyone. Rented a pontoon boat and was able to pull right up to the house at the dock. Would definitely stay there again. So close to Indiana Beach, too!

Beautiful view and house!

House was great! We wanted to stay longer! The only issue was the water - some of our group are not used to septic. (I’m a country girl and I had no issue with it though) Lots of space so we could all be separate or together depending on what we were doing. And the only other thing was decks could have been cleaner. Would stay here again.

Annual July Vacation

We always enjoy this house. This year there was a lot of food particles in the living room and child handprints all over the tv. We are not upset. We just wanted to make you aware. Also, you can get rid of the egg smell from your water heater by adding a magnesium rod to it.

Purdue visit

We stayed at this property while in town for a Purdue college visit and football game. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was great and we would love to explore more during the summer when the weather is warmer and we could make more use of the lake. Some reviews commented on the hard water. And it was however the owner provided a water cooler with drinkable water which was appreciated. The house was spacious and fit our needs perfectly. Would definitely recommend!

Family vacation

We had a wonderful weekend. The house was very clean and we had plenty of room for our group. Gizela was very responsive with a couple of issues that came up. There is a strong sulfer smell to the water, so be prepared with extra drinking water. There is a water cooler, but water is not provided.

Nice place, but well short of expectations

We expected a civilized home stay for the cost of this listing. However, it was more accurately a "camping out" experience so we feel this listing is overpriced. Reasons follow: - Home is at the end of a long gravel driveway with 10mph speed limit; local neighbors actively engage guests when speed exceeded - Excessive bugs/nests at home entrances, making entry uncomfortable, as well as spiders inside the house - The tap water had an extremely foul smell like sulphur or rotten eggs, especially when showering; necessary to buy bottled water for whole stay, even for brushing teeth - Kitchen counter extremely sticky and no spare paper supplies provided Owner was pleasant to work with but falls well short of disclosing the extremity of the home's limitations. However, with minimal effort much of it can be overcome. Some examples include a) perform sufficient cleaning, b) provide modest spare supplies and c) install point of use or whole home filtered water. Either that or bring the listing price down to something more sensible.

About the host

Hosted by Gizela

Hallo ,
This is us in Indiana Beach Amusement Park across the water ;)
We are happy family of 5. Our oldest one is missing because she is always elsewhere when we take a picture .
Me and my husband together working hard to take care of our 3 wonderful children. We both came from Poland almost 20 year ago and continue our journey in United States.

Why they chose this property

First time we've visited Indiana Beach resort, we immediately follow in love with this place. Short after decided to look for a Lake House. This particular one was very first we saw and didn't have to wait long to make a decision. It is very simple- you feel good the moment you get in. First step on that patio and you don't want to leave.

What makes this property unique

The very unique benefit of this house is a view. Please take a moment sit back and just see what out there. Beautiful nature, blue sky and crystal clear lake. We hope you will enjoy thing place as much as we do.
