    Cute lakefront cottage! We had a blast, super easy check-in and great communication from our hosts. The covered gazebo with tv and gas fire pit was so awesome and the kayaks were a huge bonus! We love to cook and the kitchen is well-stocked. Lake living at its best!

    There for a Notre Dame game. Uber worked well to and from. About 25 minutes out. There is a set of instructions in kitchen up on the water filtration system. Lucky we found it! Upstairs master bedroom & bath was clean and fine. That bedroom might not be suitable for some seniors with mobility issues. Winding staircase and tight access to each side of bed. Small deck upstairs as well. Kitchen area great, big square table for dining. No dishwasher but nice vertical rack to clean up. Could use more directions on how to use water filtration system and outside TV remotes. Downstairs bedrooms (2) can accommodate four in the rooms, great for kids or mixed use if you don’t mind that. One room may have room for six. Mind the step up into kitchen, family room and step down into each bedroom. Unique loft sleeping area via ladder access. Full bath for use as well.Coded entrance door. Nice covered patio, seating and TV. Place could use bit of clean up outside but everything was easy to access and use. Water front and water toys there to use. Swans and other bird activity each day on water. Place does have decent connectivity. Pet friendly. Separate garage if needed. Trains run fairly nearby and local airport close by as well. Host is responsive for questions.

    A wonderland for all of us, from infant to grandpop! Two Augusts in a row and only better this time. The outdoor activities are hard to beat. The place was clean and attractive. It was well stocked, except for a toaster and coffee machine. But we brought our own coffee maker and toaster oven for cooking outside, so no big deal. It was very comfortable, 75 degrees inside and 93 out. Furniture is comfortable, bathrooms are very functional and thoughtfully organized. The pergola was a big hangout place when not in the water. Thanks Julia and Will. You've gotten our grandkids addicted to your place. They want to move there. Bruce

    The house is at the end of the street surrounded on water on 3 sides..it was very peaceful. The outside area was great. There was a gazebo that we sat under every night and plsyed games. The lake was easy access for kataking.

    We had an amazing friends trip here celebrating a couple of birthdays! It was just as peaceful and welcoming as it looks in the photos. Even though it's on a street with other houses, it still feels very secluded. We loved the kayaks, the pavilion area with the fountain, TV, and fire table, and the unique home design. We did notice that the shower drains were backing up a bit, but it wasn't a big issue and everything else was absolutely perfect. Thank you!!

    Beautiful property at the tip of the peninsula Lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the surroundings. Wish there was dedicated firepit area with seating. The loft sleeping area is unique but only accessible by ladder. We appreciated the variety of board games available for our use. We had issues with the AC during our stay, but appreciate how fast the host responded. We rented a pontoon boat from Vacationpontoonrental.com and they delivered it directly to the lake and put it in the water for us. The kids had so much fun swimming off the boat in the middle of the lake and using the lily pad. The beach access is pretty, has great views of the lake and is a good place to launch the kayaks and paddleboard but was not suitable for swimming due to seaweed growth. Our dog loved running around the property and swimming off the beach access. Enjoyed our stay and looking forward to returning.
