Fall break with grandkids
Hard to watch baseball playoffs when Tv is streaming.Wi-Fi was going in and out. Grandkids brought fishing poles to fish off dock and it was brought in already. Owner said it’s usually out till end of October. Hot tub was not ready for first night there, we had to turn up heat and wait till next day. Place was clean and had plenty of room. Lots of towels and rags. First VRBO that I had to make beds

Lovely stay
Great property for a girls weekend! Is everything in perfect condition? No. But it was very clean, and the space is just amazing. The value is definitely there. The views, the hot tub, the lake access, and the well-stocked kitchen is just the short list of what we enjoyed here. I hope we can come back next year!

Beautiful Lakefront Property
This property was beautiful to stay at! The lake front view was a great bonus to wake up to each morning. The house has plenty of amenities to enjoy and the hot tub is very spacious! Parking is very tight and limited, so carpooling is critical to fit all of the cars. Otherwise, the house is excellent and can fit a large group of people comfortably!

The best 5 star rental
Our trip to Angola, IN was to attend our son’s graduation from Trine! We had family coming in from Tennessee, Wisconsin and we drove in from Michigan. The rental was more than we had hoped for, and on our way home we found ourselves discussing about returning for another family gathering!

Great for family get together!
We get our family together every spring for a long weekend. This spot was perfect for our a central location for our family from Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin. This was a very nice house with lots of room for our family group of 10. Awesome kitchen and living room! Just wish we could have taken advantage of the hot tub, But, the weather did not cooperate! The Angola / Auburn area has a lot to offer!!!!

Beautiful view!
Great place for gathering with friends. Big kitchen and lots of communal gathering space. We loved the hot tub! The view of the lake was unbeatable! We were disappointed to have to pay a nonrefundable cleaning fee and also make our beds upon arrival, strip our beds upon leaving, run the dishwasher and take the garbage to the curb. The 2 fire places were not working which the owner made us aware of the day prior to our arrival. He would not give us any financial compensation for that. Other small things like paper shades taped to the windows, stained carpets and a broken door stop made the house seem poorly maintained. That being said, we enjoyed the proximity to the state park and winery and had a wonderful stay.

Perfect Family Getaway
This was the perfect property for a family weekend getaway. The kitchen was very well equipped, we didn’t need to worry about a thing! There was plenty of room for everyone. Beds were comfortable. If you want a firm pillow, bring your own. Most of them were too soft for our liking but everyone has their own opinion on that. Andy was very helpful prior to arrival with my tons of questions, making sure our stay would be perfect. We will definitely be back to this property.

Great place with lots of space!
Overall this was a good experience. I emailed the owner several times prior to our stay and got zero response. We never received check in info the week of our stay so I gave him a call. He was super friendly and gave me all the info I needed. We stayed here to celebrate our Christmas with extended family. The place was very big with plenty of room for the kids to run around. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of kitchen tools/gadgets/pots/pans, we didn’t need a thing! The sheets were clean and so was the hot tub (in contrast to what a previous renter mentioned in their review). Both TVs were nice with plenty of options. The furniture was definitely outdated but comfortable and clean. Checkout was super easy. The best part was the hot tub! The only thing I would suggest to the owner is to have additional seating for the dinner table. There were 10 chairs but we could have fit more around the huge table. If you plan to have more in your party I would recommend bringing folding chairs to add on. This place would be great for a gathering in the summertime for sure. Would rent again:)

Moderate Disappointment
Please contact owners prior to renting to ensure things from our stay have been addressed. For the price of this listing things should be too notch. Soiled pillows, bedding, landscape full of garbage/trash, dirty hot tub full of sand, leaves and dirt. I’ve voiced my displeasure and concerns so that future renters do not have to deal with these issues when paying too dollar for a rental. The house is nice but needs some help to bring it up to the high price standards.

Lovely winter weekend getaway
We enjoyed a last minute winter weekend away at the lake. The home was very clean and had stunning views. The kids enjoyed their own area in the loft and 3 families had plenty of space. The beds were comfortable and bathrooms convenient. We enjoyed the hot tub down by the water and loved watching the snowmobiles and airplanes (yes planes) land on the frozen lake. We had a great time and hope to be back. Thank-you!

Annual Girls Getaway
Our group has been taking trips together for 39 years now. We had been going up north in January. However, as we have gotten older and no one skis anymore we decided this was the year to start a new tradition and meet for a fall retreat. Your location fit our group so nicely. We especially appreciated that the living room provided enough seating that we could all visit in the same area and the kitchen was large enough to prepare our food without falling over each other. Although it was a little further to Shipshewana than we anticipated, the directions were easy. Views of the lake were stunning through the floor to ceiling windows! Thank you for providing a delightful setting for us to gather and feel at home!

Great Time
Excellent house, well located on a lovely lake. There were three couples who each had a bedroom. Master has ensuite bath, two other baths are convenient. We spent pretty much all our time on the lower level and balcony, which has great lake views.The area is easy to navigate if you want activities or dining out. The town has a charming downtown, as well. The owners have two more houses across the road, so large groups can be accommodated. Highly Recommended.
