Not a place for your family
This very old house is just that very old, yes there are obvious updates,but the floor was uneven in the whole house. Not to mention the hot water came out of the cold and the cold came out of the hot in the whole house. This should not be listed on Vrbo, it is a rental house from Evolve. Just not what I expected for my family, as we came to northern Indiana for Notre Dame game and to visit Lake Michigan. Who know where to park you car either. The smell in the house was old and musty that was covered by 7 plug ins. And this home would probably never pass a home inspection.

Rough fish cabin
Cabin needs deep clean. 1 mattress is terrible. Our 3rd adult couldn’t take it, breathe the air & left after 1 day. Allergic reaction. TVs & WiFi good. Outdoors ok. Shower enclosure good but toilet was leaking at base by 6th day & floor wet. Unusable, we went to relatives during each day.
