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.

Great for Extended Family

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.

Nice family house

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.

Love the Pool!

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.

Great place makes great times

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!

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

Thanksgiving with the family

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.

Great time!

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.

Plenty of space for a big group

We enjoyed our trip and there was plenty of room for our big group. There are lots of unfinished projects throughout the property, so you can tell it’s a work in progress. It didn’t get in the way much but we wished the patio area by the pool was better situated. The pool itself is beautiful and well maintained and even had a diving board which the kids thought was great. The automatic cover was really easy to use and in great shape.

Our stay

I rented this house for myself, my three kids, their spouses and eight of my grandchildren. The house was clean and very well stocked. We had everything we needed to prepare and eat meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also well stocked. There were plenty of beds for everyone. It was very comfortable. There were tons of toys and games and things for the kids to do. The huge table in the dining room was big enough for all of us to sit down and eat. The outside area was awesome. There was a play area for the kids with a swingset and slide and trampoline. The pool was huge and absolutely beautiful. It was clean and there were plenty of pool toys and floats available. It also had a hard cover that made us feel safe when the pool was not in use. We all had a wonderful time, especially the kids. Communication with the owner was fantastic. We called because we ran out of something and we had what we needed the very next morning. The house looked just as it was portrayed in the ad and had everything available that was promised. I would not hesitate to rent this house again in the future.

Good Home, Great Service

Went with extended family including nieces and nephews. Pool is great. 20 minutes from Michigan City and 30 minutes from Notre Dame. Kitchen and living areas are spacious and well equipped. Bedrooms are little outdated; but clean. House is definitely being renovated somewhat as there are walls that are being patched and will be painted. The areas where the family gathers and eats are great though. Nice house to get away from it all. A lot of nature around it. Country feel. If you are looking for immaculate up to date modern home with private bathrooms for every bedroom, do not book. If you do not need private bathroom for each room, then book the home as service was great and the house did provide the room and fun our family needed.

Family gathering to celebrate a 60th anniversary

We loved the property. We had 17 in our group and the home accommodated all of us. The swimming pool and trampoline were great. We were within 15 minutes of the beach in New Buffalo and even closer to the marina where we rented a pontoon one morning and the golf course we played at another morning. Everyone had a great time.

Our summer friends and family vacation.

We stayed with 3 families. It was close so we went to New Buffalo and the beach one day. The rest of the days we spent in the very nice pool. The kitchen was stocked with nice appliances and everything else we needed. Outdoor steps need to be re-done, kind of dangerous and it looked like they are ready to paint because nailholes were filled in and could be seen. It would have also been nice if a few of the couches would have been pullout. Overall a very nice house and vacation.

LaPorte house

The location is great! The pool and everything provided in the downstairs area for children make it so family friendly. The generous amount of basic supplies provided is fantastic. I packed way too many kitchen supplies as most of what I needed was there. Cons would be that although it says 4 bathrooms, there are only 2 full and 2 half baths. With a large group, juggling shower times was challenging. I did not realize that until after I booked. The description needs to better clarify that fact. There are also some maintenance areas that need to be addressed, but I am sure the owner will be on top of that. It can be hard to maintain a rental property from a distance and we understand that.

Relaxing stay but could be even better

The house is very large and it really feels like a home away from home. The kitchen is the most well appointed kitchen that I have ever seen at a rental property. The house was private and the pool was heated. I appreciated that the owner let us check in early. There was great communication for check in instructions. There were a few things that I do wish would have been fixed prior to us staying there. There was a rip in the couch, the carpet on the stairs could use some steam cleaning, there was some spackle on the upstairs bathroom walls that just made it seem like it was unfinished. Also, in the bathroom upstairs , the shower did not work and the tub did not plug. For the price we paid, this was disappointing. If the repairs are done, we would stay again since it was a great location and the kids loved the pool and basement.

Good Layout for Multi Generations But Needs Attention

This large home is set well back from the road with beautifully treed land. We had 8 adults and 8 children and we had plenty of room to spread out. We all loved the pool, the toys in the basement and the really well-appointed kitchen. The kids loved the playset, but it needed some repair, as did the dining room table (which wobbled badly) and the wobbly seat at the island. The wrap-around porch is really nice, but one side of it is lined with tools and items that are not safe for children. The rugs in the home did not look like they had been vacuumed and there were many dead bugs on the floors. It just did not look like the house had been cleaned in a while. We did enjoy our stay at this home, but for the money we paid, if I had known it was that dirty, we would not have rented it. I let the owner know about this, because he is getting ripped off by whoever is cleaning and maintaining this home, and he did seem concerned about the situation.
