Fantastic home

We did another ladies weekend here, and we plan to go back again next year! House is spacious, clean, has everything we need other than the food, and the hot tub was icing on the cake! It is very echoing in the upstairs, if people are downstairs, so just bring a noise machine if that bothers you. We loved our stay here, and plan to make this a yearly trip!

Family weekend

Nice spacious home for our group of 8 adults, 1 teen & 2 kids. Plenty of room, nice front and back yards (with hot tub + gazebo) & 2 covered porches. PLENTY of beds & even games & a few toys for the kids. Hosts available & quick to respond, without bothering us. We felt very welcome & had a fantastic long weekend with plenty to do in the area!

Perfect for us!

Thank you, Karen so much for this property. It exceeded our expectations for size and cleanliness. Looks newly remodeled. Karen was very communicative and fast with her responses. We enjoyed our time at the casino and Shady Creek winery. The hot tub was a huge hit with our group; large and very clean! Would love to go back.

Plenty of room!

The property was as described in the listing. We vacation with another family & this is the first house we have stayed at that had plenty of beds (not sofa beds or futons) to sleep our group comfortably & enough bathrooms. The house was well laid out. Host was very responsive with communication. We will definitely return the next time we are in Michigan City.

Beautiful home!

This home was perfect for our family of 18, bedrooms were nice, plenty of bathrooms and downstairs is open for all to gather. The only thing I would suggest is having more towels, kitchenware and cookware. When you have a house that big we really need enough for everyone. Also suggest full length mirrors and hooks to hang this on, this would have been very helpful. We loved coffee on the porch and yes the neighborhood is a little rough but we had absolutely no issues at all, I think some people just need to get out more and experience life outside their small towns. Lots of reviews knocked the location , but it is just fine. Can’t wait to go back!

Disliked: Location
The overall house was inviting, clean, updated, and had plenty of room. Upon arrival we noticed the floors had sandy grit on them and were extremely dirty when walking, the pillows are very thin and seemed old, and not all jets were working in the hot tub. One set of sheets on a bed had stains as well. We did have two people with us that were handicapped so it was difficult for them to get in and out of the main floor shower area as it has a high tub. A suggestion would be to put handicap bars in this bathroom or completely get rid of the tub and use a walk-in shower. There was also a hole in one of the bedroom walls from the door handle. Again, this house is overall very nice but in a very questionable neighborhood.

Girls Trip

Our group of ladies have been doing wk end “girls” trips for 25 years and this place was perfect for our group. Freshly remodeled. Clean and stocked. So many bedrooms and bathrooms, we all had space. Super large dining table with room for all to eat together. We never tried the hot tub but appreciated it being included. Close to the outlets and casino. We enjoyed some local restaurants too. Thanks for a great stay.
