Memorable Milestone Birthday
Traveling to get to your destination can be stressful that first day. I found the oversized soak tub an absolute dream to dissipate the tension. The next day, the spa-like shower provided a pampering area for exfoliation as well as a relaxing rain shower to cleanse the mind. The vanity was well lit for facial preparation and the decor and ambience a treat. The rest of our stay was just as enjoyable. The kitchen was a joy to cook in. There were plenty of pots, pans and utensils, all of good quality. The sleeping arrangements accommodated all 9 of us without feeling cramped. The boathouse was a bonus, providing a space for those who wanted late night activity. The pontoon was something that helped make family memories as we enjoyed all that goes with being on the lake. The sunsets were beautiful. And the Bay Area we were located on had countless hours of fun for the kids as they played on the amenities offered. They fished, used the paddle board and paddle boat, and the blue float mat was a huge hit! We will definitely be going back.

Wonderful!
We were so happy with this rental! Very quiet lake. Enjoyed the kayaks, boat rides, swimming, fishing, chickens. So much fun for our family. Also a short drive to new buffalo. Spent a day there during our stay. Would definitely go again. Our kids said it was their best vacation yet!

Attentive host with stocked property
My family loves the Hudson Lake/New Carlisle area and Shari and her son Ryan made sure we had everything we needed, offered helpful suggestions for activities in the area and had a really stocked home complete with chickens. We loved using the paddle boat, the "lily pad", sitting on the very long, sandy beach and playing games on the rainy day. The plus was bringing our pup who had a great time, too. We are already planning next year's trip!

This was such a lovely getaway! We loved the house, the lake, and the pontoon. It was nice to wake up each day and just head down to the lake. The chickens were an added bonus that we loved having as part of our trip. Shari & Ryan were both great to work with, and easy to get in touch with. There are a few restaurants close by, New Buffalo about a 25 min drive & Michigan City about a 30 min drive. We enjoyed our time & will definitely be back!

Great outdoor space
The outdoor space was exactly what we were looking for. Kids absolutely loved the water pad. Kayaks and pontoon boat were great. The beach house was great for relaxing while watching the kids play. It gets full sun in the afternoon and the umbrella was not functional, so that would have been nice. The inside was ok. Kitchen was a little small to prepare meals. Everyone seemed to enjoy their rooms. It was explained to me to try to have people use the upstairs toilet, but in a group of 10 with 5 kids it's hard to get everyone on the same page. I'm guessing that's why the main level toilet clogged several times. Major bonus...this place has chickens. Not sure why it wasn't mentioned in the listing, but the kids loved watching them and everyone loved the fresh eggs. The property owner's son was very attentive. This could be hit or miss for some people. He was there when we arrived to show us around and was around for most of the first couple days working around the property. One night we were having a fire after dark and he showed up to drop off some gas cans for the boat. Honestly, we were caught a little off guard. Very nice guy and very helpful, but my personal preference would be to have the house to ourselves. Overall, everyone had a great time

Nice lake and house
Had a great time at the house with family (7 adults, 2 kids). House is well stocked and furnished. Good communication with the owner. Lake is a nice size and near many things in the Michiana area. Outdoor areas had a fire pit, grill and lake side room with deck. Would stay again.

Great property with amazing beach
My family and I recently stayed here for 5 days. The home itself was great with plenty of room for everyone. My two young kids enjoyed the chicken coop in front. The beach was great and there was plenty to do outside. Shari was very responsive and communicated with me throughout the stay if I needed anything. I definitely recommend staying here!

It was exactly what we wanted for a family vacation.
We had 6 adults and 5 children under 10. The beach with shallow and wading area is what we wanted for the kids. The lake water was clean and clear, and it had minimal boat traffic that made boating water sports low stress. A couple of the adults in our group like to fish and the lake delivered. They caught some nice fish from bass to pike and perch. Definitely satisfied they're need for good fishing. The young ones in our group enjoyed the chickens experience. The property is safe and secluded, and is on our list for a return visit.

the communication with the owner was great! Ryan let the grandkids feed the chickens and gather the eggs. They thought that was wonderful. There were plenty of things to do. The young adults had hours of fun on the kayaks. the grandkids also gave the kayaks and paddleboards a try a did very well on them. They have asked if we can do this again. The beach area was nice for the little ones, plenty of sand toys. The house had plenty of room for all of us was a comfortable stay. thank you for sharing your home!
