If you don’t mind me asking. Did you rent the pontoon next door?
Nice very clean house inside. Outside needs power washing. An animal dug into yard on side of house. Don’t know what kind, never saw it. We stayed inside very nice
My family stayed at this beautiful home last weekend for a Grace College Graduation.Plenty of room for the 8 of us and gathering areas for us to visit. Kitchen well stocked with cooking items ( I do most of the cooking at the homes we stay)Good communication with the owner, easy to get in the home. There is so much to do in nearby Winona Lake, beautiful area!
Family was looking for a large place to get away to and found it. Host was great with communication. Easy in and easy out just as described in the listing.
The property is well kept. Great amenities, quite spacious, and perfect for enjoying time with family. Thanks very much for all the information given and welcome notes.
We enjoyed our stay, the house was clean & comfortable. We especially enjoyed the Foos Ball, Ping Pong & Monopoly. The host was responsive and accommodated a few special requests.
The house was very clean with several different spaces for visiting with friends. The kitchen and breakfast area had all the needed items. The windows both upstairs and down were perfect for viewing the lake.

Michael,
So glad you enjoyed your stay. We love the view to the lake too.
Come back any time.
The amount of space is wonderful and the property was gorgeous. It's tucked away a bit but I think that's the charm. Wonderful for a weekend getaway! Thank you to the owners for making the stay easy.

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and for being great guest!
We too love the fact that it’s a little hidden gem. It’s a way for us to get away from the big city.
The pictures are exactly what you’re property is- however - the pictures don’t do justice to the cleanliness, size and accommodations! We stayed and were overly impressed with the setup of the downstairs and family room!
This house is right on the lake with great windows facing it. The house was very clean and well equipped. It must be a good lake for fishing as each day there were several determined fisherman trying their luck.
Our group, two retired couples, spent four days reading, binging movies, and reading.
It is a good place to relax.

Liked: Check-in, communication
Disliked: Cleanliness
I will say the rooms/ bathrooms are clean and the house is a beautiful home however, the windows had lots of spiders, webs and spider eggs, fans had lots of dust, and the outside of the home by the front entrance and the back staircase is overtaken by weeds. There isn't much of a lake view through the dirty windows you can't see and there is a giant tree that blocks the view from the porch area. There was a paddleboat laying in the back yard full of water, dirt & bugs, clearly it has been sitting there for awhile. The lake was overtaken by swans, so it smells really bad. I hoped for the price we would have enjoyed our stay more.
