A truly amazing experience

Putting it lightly, this property is amazing. If you’re looking for a family friendly experience this is the place for you. It’s right next to Indiana beach , and super close to any and all amenities you could ever need. Restaurants, stores, etc. We stayed for the weekend and had a small birthday party for my son and a few family members. It was a blast , putting it in my sons words. This house is perfect for a family vacation or a weekend getaway. Kathy truly raises the bar for all Vrbo owners. She was a pleasure to meet and one kindest souls you’ll ever interact with. It blew my expectations away. This listing is a true gem . You won’t regret booking with Kathy . A truly amazing experience.

Nice Place

Overall this was a nice house for our Indiana Beach vacation. Perfect size for 6 people and well stocked with all the necessities plus extras. Plenty of blankets, pillows, towels, etc, lots of games and solid internet speed. Many extra amenities like first aid supplies, a gas grill and a really nice fire pit. The house is located in an excellent location as well with a very short walk to the boardwalk. The house is an A frame, and the 2 bedrooms upstairs do not have complete ceilings. The wall facing the loft does not reach the top and are open, so there were some issues at night with lights and sounds from the first floor affecting the sleeping kids. There are also no shades on the windows, they only have sheer curtains, so it was not possible to block out all exterior lights at night or early morning. Outside was an ok but not ideal situation for the dog - the yard is roomy and open, but there is no front gate, so it's not entirely enclosed and we needed to keep our dog on the lead whenever he was outside. There's a garage sized cottage in the front yard where the owner sometimes stays when there are guests in the house, this was a little weird for us, even though there were no interactions we sometimes felt like we were being watched. Response time from the owner can be slower than expected. Messages sent both via the VRBO app and direct texting sometimes took a day or two to get a response both before the trip started and during our stay.

Family & Friends Getaway

This was a great location on the lake and a short walk to the amusement park. You can fish off of the dock, go boating with your boat or rent one just a walk away, play shuffle board or a variety of other outdoor/indoor games at the property, or have a quiet night sitting by the fire while looking at the lake.

Wow!

We had such a great time staying here. Kathy is extremely nice and helpful! The house had everything you need and more. We were lucky enough to stay when indiana beach had fireworks. We sat down at the dock and enjoyed a wonderful show. Indiana Beach is just a quick walk away. Was just a wonderful getaway!
