We had a great stay at Lumos house. Host communication was excellent. Beds were comfortable and a/c worked great. Laundry room is in the first floor bathroom which is great for towels. We didn’t make use of the kayak, SUP or lily pad because we were on the lake for a family reunion and heading to another spot on the lake for those events. We loved sitting on the deck in the morning and looking at the beautiful lake. Living room is very comfortable and we had no problems with wifi or the tv. There is a small play area outside the upstairs bedrooms with toys which was great for the baby in our group! Bedrooms are small, but fine for our group. Bathrooms and kitchen are dated and some parts of the house could use an extra deep clean, but all in working order and we had everything we needed!

Beautiful Lake Home

Our stay at the Lumous House was amazing. The house is equipped with everything you need to include beach towels and life jackets for all sizes. The home was clean, the beds were comfortable, and having a washer/dryer on site was convenient. Also, the AC was the perfect accommodation after long hot days outside. We will definitely book again. Looking forward to future trips! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Nice Retreat on a nice lake

We enjoy the house and property. Boating, SUP, Kayaks and swimming. House was clean and had a nice open setting in the family room. Kitchen worked just fine. 2nd floor shower is super small but it worked. We liked having the washer and dryer and 1st floor bedroom for my parents.

Great for family vacation

Stayed here with family for 3 nights. The house is located on the lake with pretty views but not the best area for swimming off the dock. The living area was renovated and nice but the rest of the house was a little dated and could use some updates/ deep cleaning. There were not cleaning materials at the house- ie counter spray, etc. The screen door was broken which was also a bummer. There was not an umbrella at the table outside. And there were no kayaks, SUP, or the Maui pad all of which were included in the description so we were disappointed that they were not there. The AC worked well and the WiFi was fast. The bunk beds are twin on top but full on the bottom bunks which was also nice. The host was incredibly communicative and responded quickly. Overall, would stay here again but would go into it knowing that it is slightly dated.

Morning coffee on the dock!

Lovely home! Large gathering areas inside and outside with lake views was the best! Fantastic leather couches! Clean and comfortable. Although there was a "For Sale" sign in sight between us and the lake, we still enjoyed meals on the deck and relaxing in the yard. If the firepit is important, make sure to ask that weeds/flowers be removed before your arrival. The bedrooms were comfortable. We like a firm mattress, and the downstairs Queen bed was perfect. Upstairs King bed is softer. Bathrooms were spotless and suited the four of us perfectly; however, the upstairs bathroom is quite small. Coming "home" to this lovely home after daytrips to Saint Joseph and South Haven beaches made our long weekend fabulous!

Peaceful and Relaxing

This house was meticulously clean, nicely appointed and well stocked with everything we needed. The house manager went above and beyond to make sure our stay was everything we hoped it would be. From the minute we walked through the door we felt the warm welcome. Location is great with friendly neighbors. We caught fish off the dock and frolicked at the sandbar with friendly boaters we met from the Chicago area. We were hoping for a relaxing getaway and that is exactly what we got. Will have to stay longer next time !
