We had a great time here! It had all the amenities we needed and it was a great home base for adventures in the surrounding area. The fire pit and yard games were a hit, and we enjoyed the tranquility of the area.

House was exactly as described. Very quiet neighborhood on quiet street. Very well equipped with everything we needed. The outside area looked so cute lit up at night. Check in was easy and the host responded to my questions quickly. Would definately stay here again.

Nicole's gem getaway

Nicole's home is THE place to sign up for! Located in a corner lot, within a quiet neighborhood situated a block away from a lake, one is housed with plenty of room for up to 8 people. The home interior is very clean, well maintained and with many amenities found in one's own home. The outdoor of the place has a nice front deck where one can sit and watch the sun set with a wide view across an open field. As for the back, plenty of room for a group of people to sit back in front of a fire pit and enjoy the moment. In our case, it was just the two of us and we couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at and a host who welcomed us and stayed in touch often. Thank you, Mario and Claudia

We had a wonderful week at Nicole's house near Magician Lake. The house was very clean and comfortable and in a great location. We enjoyed kayaking in the lake at the end of the street, appreciated the cool lawn games, and took advantage of the fire pit in the backyard. We enjoyed the nearby town of Sister Lakes with it's grocery store, restaurants, and two breweries, one with a disc golf course we were happy to play. We also used the house as a base for day trips to Indiana Dunes National Shoreline and to Chicago. Nicole was a great host with good communication.
