Senior ladies from grade & high school get-away.
We 5 72 year old ladies had a great time. We went wine tasting, played cards, games and just talked and laughed. The house was very nice. The water had a horrible smell. There was a water cooler but the jug was empty. The lights were on the ceiling far away from the floor. Hard to read anything. The lamps in the bedrooms didn’t work. But nothing stopped us from having a great time.

Beautiful view and house!
House was great! We wanted to stay longer! The only issue was the water - some of our group are not used to septic. (I’m a country girl and I had no issue with it though) Lots of space so we could all be separate or together depending on what we were doing. And the only other thing was decks could have been cleaner. Would stay here again.

Annual July Vacation
We always enjoy this house. This year there was a lot of food particles in the living room and child handprints all over the tv. We are not upset. We just wanted to make you aware. Also, you can get rid of the egg smell from your water heater by adding a magnesium rod to it.

Purdue visit
We stayed at this property while in town for a Purdue college visit and football game. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was great and we would love to explore more during the summer when the weather is warmer and we could make more use of the lake. Some reviews commented on the hard water. And it was however the owner provided a water cooler with drinkable water which was appreciated. The house was spacious and fit our needs perfectly. Would definitely recommend!

Nice place, but well short of expectations
We expected a civilized home stay for the cost of this listing. However, it was more accurately a "camping out" experience so we feel this listing is overpriced. Reasons follow: - Home is at the end of a long gravel driveway with 10mph speed limit; local neighbors actively engage guests when speed exceeded - Excessive bugs/nests at home entrances, making entry uncomfortable, as well as spiders inside the house - The tap water had an extremely foul smell like sulphur or rotten eggs, especially when showering; necessary to buy bottled water for whole stay, even for brushing teeth - Kitchen counter extremely sticky and no spare paper supplies provided Owner was pleasant to work with but falls well short of disclosing the extremity of the home's limitations. However, with minimal effort much of it can be overcome. Some examples include a) perform sufficient cleaning, b) provide modest spare supplies and c) install point of use or whole home filtered water. Either that or bring the listing price down to something more sensible.

Beautiful view for our stay in early Sept
Place was just as pictured. Perfect location with beautiful view of lake and Indiana beach. The only downsides were how hard the mattresses are. If you are used to that then this will not bother you. But they seem new so maybe that’s why they are so stiff. We all left very sore after 3 days since we were so busy on the lake everyday and then the hard mattresses did us no favors at night. But again, this is just a preference thing. And also wished the outdoor furniture would have at least been hosed off or just generally sprayed for spiders. I am no stranger to lake life, so I’m aware there will always be spiders and creatures outside and on the dock. But this place was covered in spiders and webs. We did our best to clear some chairs and table of spiders and webs. We wish we could of enjoyed more of the dock down by the water, but it was way worse then the porch on the house. I just don’t know if this usually isn’t a problem, but just wish (for what we paid) that we could have utilized all the docks and porch’s and all the seating you have available without being concerned about all the spiders on everything. We did see the bug spray under the sink. But the amount of spiders outsides was no match to us trying to use the bug spray. We would of gladly hosed things off our self also if there would have been a hose we could have used. Again maybe this was only due to the time of year we were there, and or how long it had been since someone had been there. I only say that since the fridge was warm inside initially and took about a full day and a half to finally cool our items we put inside. Again the place was great and everything our group of 10 needed. Just wanted to mention the few things our group as a whole collectively agreed could have been improved. Not real issues, just things I think others would appreciate being aware of.
