It was a very relaxing and quiet stay overlooking the lake. Really enjoyed seeing all the geese and other birds early in the mornings when they began talking off. I’m sure the experience during the summer would be much different than our stay over Thanksgiving week, but then all the possible water activities and the near by amusement park become available.

The house was spacious and lovely with a wonderful view of the lake. Location was easy to find and parking was ample. The bedrooms were good size and the bathrooms were comfortable. The kitchen, dining area and great room were very convenient and comfortable. The two decks and lakefront were excellent. I needed a spacious five bedroom rental and this was about perfect.

Family enjoyed our stay at this lake home. There was plenty of space and sleeping quarters. The house was very clean inside, would recommend outdoor furniture and spaces be cleaned up a bit before guests arrive, debris, leaves, spider webs, and bird droppings. I would reccomend this vacation home, beautiful views.

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!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Gizela

Host profile image
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.
