Great house! We enjoyed our couple days there. This would be a great place to stay in the summer. Very nice and well kept. Communication was good, although we never needed to contact them, but we had the info to do so before we checked in.

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.

We came in the off season, so quiet lake, and great family campfires. Had a fun time at the Whyte Horse Winery for Singo Bingo. Would like to return to see the summer madness.

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!
