Location was great. The property is secluded but close to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment The kitchen has every appliance you want. Very well equipped
This house was the perfect house for our large family to stay in. It has plenty of space & has absolutely everything you can think of that you would need. The outdoor area by the pool is perfect. We will definitely stay again if we come back to the area. The host is very kind. Highly recommend!

Perfect house for large family
This house was the perfect house for our large family to stay while on vacation. It is very well equipped with everything you could need. Lots of things to do in the back yard. Awesome pool! The host was very friendly. We will definitely stay here again if we go back to the area. Highly recommend!!
Our family of 17 loved this home. From seeing deer in the morning across the field to swimming all day to the relaxing at night, my wife, kids & grandkids could not have asked for a better stay.

Perfect for our extended family vacay
We booked this for a small extended family gathering with 3 kids ages 8-15, parents and grandparents. We loved that it had so many kid friendly amenities. The pool was a big hit and the big bin of boards games came in handy on a cold and rainy day.
Our family enjoyed our stay at this home. Very comfortable for the 14 of us. Best equipped kitchen in a rental I have seen. We loved the pool. Owner is very friendly and responds quickly to any questions.
The house is a perfect setting for a family vacation! The house and pool were clean and the house had all the pots, pans and utensils needed to cook meals. Baby equipment was at the house freeing up car space for all our other belongings. Lots for the grandchildren to do and room for us to hang out and play games after swimming. I highly recommend this property.
The pool was the highlight of our visit. The weather was a little cooler than it has been all summer, and host Alastair offered without us even asking to turn up the heat. Kids were in the pool morning, noon, and night. Alastair is VERY responsive and very kind. Our party of thirteen had a wonderful time.
Owner was excellent communicator. Kept in touch the entire weekend and checking in with us. The house had everything we needed and made our stay perfect.

Great place for our family vacation
This home met our needs very well. 7 bedrooms and nice pool and large lounge area with lots of seating. We made good use of the grill and smoker which made for great evening dinners together rather than eating out. Our littles loved the trampoline and clubhouse. The house was well stocked with kitchen needs. The owner was great to work with. It’s 15 min from MI City and lots of other activities. We look forward to coming back.
Plenty of space to spread out for 10+ adults. Between the porch chairs and pool furniture, there was always a place to sit in sun or shade. The forested lot provides beautiful views and privacy. All the bedrooms were comfortable and equitable, so every couple was happy.
The house accomodated our family great. Since the stay was a week before Memorial weekend outside wasn't the tidiest, but overall it was good. Plenty of bedrooms for our extended family and large dining room and living room made for a great gathering space. It worked out great to celebrate Notre Dame graduation at a reasonable price for the large family.
The kids were in the pool from sun up to sun down. Pool has great surroundings for those who want to watch the pool action, sun bathe, play on the trampoline, use the swings and slides or nap in the hammocks. Something for everyone.
When renting a property, you always hope that the place is as advertised and clean and quiet. This property did not disappointment and was better than advertised. From the great amenities, to the smallest little details, they have everything covered for young and old.
Then to top off this experience, the excellent communication from the housekeeper and owner made our vacation a relaxing, enjoyable and hassle free trip that everyone enjoyed.
We will be back again!
The property was excellent. The outdoor space is amazing! The pool was much larger than it looks in the pictures. The house was clean and spacious.
The house is on central time! (Unlike most of Indiana!) so that causes some confusion for us, but the host was very gracious about it. Probably, something that should be added to the listing.
It was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 6 children. The kids had fun outside although the trampoline didn't seem very safe so we kept the kids off after the first day. The house was well equipped with pots, pans, dishes and silverware. The kids had fun with all the toys in the basement. The host was very nice and accommodating. We had no issues while there so never needed to contact anyone with a problem.

Perfect house
This was the perfect house for our stay. We had 12 people in our group and this house was perfect. Really enjoyed being in the woods but right off main highway. Easy access to South Bend which we came up for a game at Notre Dame. Next day we went up to Lake Michigan and Michigan City for a great lunch and to see the sights. House was close to plenty of food and shopping less than 10 minutes away. The house itself was great. Plenty of beds, stocked with everything you could need. Game room was awesome for our kids with plenty of entertainment even though too cold for pool and outside entertainment. Speakers in every room for music was a nice touch too. We would definitely stay here again. Recommend 10/10
Alistair was an excellent host and the entire experience was amazing. Kids enjoyed the pool time to the max. The house was well equipped with all the essentials from kitchen to bedrooms. It was a wonderful getaway.
