Away from a big city so plan accordingly, anyways we don’t need to go out Would love to come back during summers to enjoy all the amenities and vibes of the city.

The house had gorgeous views and plenty of things for the kids to do in the water. The kids especially loved the kayaks and the lily pad! We wished we could have enjoyed the spacious yard with string lights more than we were able, but the weather had other plans. We had plenty of room for our group of 2 families and would definitely come back!

We had such a great time at the lake! The house was spacious and fun. Our family enjoyed the game room, fishing off the dock, swimming, and kayaking. The house was clean and the host was both available and friendly. The kitchen was also well stocked for making meals. Thank you for helping us make beautiful family memories!

This was an amazing house to vacation in!!
Our family had an amazing time at this lake house! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay at! The house manager Todd was amazing and worked with us all the way through! We couldn't have asked for a better weekend! It made my nephew's wedding amazing and my parents who are their '80s so happy! Thank you

This house was exactly what we needed. The view of the lake was breathtaking. We enjoyed watching the wildlife from the dining table and from the back patio. The big table was great for playing games. The family room in the back was great for watching movies because it was a little darker. The owner provided lots of extras and provided things we wanted/needed but didn't think to pack. All of the rooms were clean and spacious. I have only two negative comments. I was disappointed by the path we had to take to reach the house. It looked like a boat graveyard. In addition, I felt like I was in a bit of a fishbowl at the house because the nosy neighbors in fishing boats were constantly looking in the window at us.

Perfect Get-away
Excellent and prompt communication. Comfortable beds. Great views. Water pressure was perfect. My favorite place to sit was in the living room where there are 2 chairs looking out onto the lake. Used to live on this chain. So, if you rent a boat you’ll enjoy going into Steinbarger and Tamarack. And, then in the opposite direction it will take you down the Elkhart river for a scenic ride.

We really enjoyed our girls weekend away at the lake to relax and spend time together two weeks before my daughter's wedding. The house was wonderful! The large kitchen/dining room was perfect for the 10 of us. The game room is a fun addition too! Not only for games, but also for a late night movie and then coffee in the morning. We loved sitting by the fire and enjoying the lake! The location is very peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Just what we needed. Last but not least, let's not forget the host, Todd. His communication was great and everything was just like it was described. You definitely won't be disappointed if you stay here.

Wonderful Lake Front Getaway
We were a group of 4 adults (2 over 80). The house has pretty much everything you need for a weekend or longer. Really enjoyed sitting outside in front of the lake and the living room was cozy for evening chats. The surrounding area has plenty to offer (recommend Sylvan Lake Cellars for lunch or dinner; very relaxed pub-like atmosphere). Todd was excellent at communicating how to check in and offering helpful tips for the area. Check out was one of the easiest I've ever encountered for a home rental (just washing up dishes and stripping the beds/placing linens on top--simple things you would do as a guest in anyone's home). I would definitely recommend choosing this location if you're looking for a casual, peaceful getaway!
