Perfect for our Family's Christmas Gathering

Just Misses The Mark

My family & I rented this lake home for our Christmas weekend, As noted in the listing, this is a spacious lake front home with a beautiful view of the lake, however this property lacks care, litter was left on the floors in the upstairs rooms, floors dirty behind the doors and the dishes grimy & needed to be washed before using, they were NASTY. The hot tub was also large as stated, but the water was green. The beds & pillows were awful AND we had to make our own beds using the missed sized sheets left at the end of the beds (on top of the spread which obviously had not been washed and smelled musty.) Furniture was an old assortment of what appears to be castoffs. This could be a nice rental, but needs some TLC.

Property was clean and as described. We especially love the kitchen, which is well stocked and the table which can easily seat 12. This is the second time we have stayed in this home, and the hot tub was a welcome addition!

Fall break with grandkids

Hard to watch baseball playoffs when Tv is streaming.Wi-Fi was going in and out. Grandkids brought fishing poles to fish off dock and it was brought in already. Owner said it’s usually out till end of October. Hot tub was not ready for first night there, we had to turn up heat and wait till next day. Place was clean and had plenty of room. Lots of towels and rags. First VRBO that I had to make beds

Lovely stay

Great property for a girls weekend! Is everything in perfect condition? No. But it was very clean, and the space is just amazing. The value is definitely there. The views, the hot tub, the lake access, and the well-stocked kitchen is just the short list of what we enjoyed here. I hope we can come back next year!

Beautiful Lakefront Property

This property was beautiful to stay at! The lake front view was a great bonus to wake up to each morning. The house has plenty of amenities to enjoy and the hot tub is very spacious! Parking is very tight and limited, so carpooling is critical to fit all of the cars. Otherwise, the house is excellent and can fit a large group of people comfortably!

The best 5 star rental

Our trip to Angola, IN was to attend our son’s graduation from Trine! We had family coming in from Tennessee, Wisconsin and we drove in from Michigan. The rental was more than we had hoped for, and on our way home we found ourselves discussing about returning for another family gathering!

Great for family get together!

We get our family together every spring for a long weekend. This spot was perfect for our a central location for our family from Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin. This was a very nice house with lots of room for our family group of 10. Awesome kitchen and living room! Just wish we could have taken advantage of the hot tub, But, the weather did not cooperate! The Angola / Auburn area has a lot to offer!!!!

Beautiful view!

Great place for gathering with friends. Big kitchen and lots of communal gathering space. We loved the hot tub! The view of the lake was unbeatable! We were disappointed to have to pay a nonrefundable cleaning fee and also make our beds upon arrival, strip our beds upon leaving, run the dishwasher and take the garbage to the curb. The 2 fire places were not working which the owner made us aware of the day prior to our arrival. He would not give us any financial compensation for that. Other small things like paper shades taped to the windows, stained carpets and a broken door stop made the house seem poorly maintained. That being said, we enjoyed the proximity to the state park and winery and had a wonderful stay.

Perfect Family Getaway

This was the perfect property for a family weekend getaway. The kitchen was very well equipped, we didn’t need to worry about a thing! There was plenty of room for everyone. Beds were comfortable. If you want a firm pillow, bring your own. Most of them were too soft for our liking but everyone has their own opinion on that. Andy was very helpful prior to arrival with my tons of questions, making sure our stay would be perfect. We will definitely be back to this property.

Great place with lots of space!

Overall this was a good experience. I emailed the owner several times prior to our stay and got zero response. We never received check in info the week of our stay so I gave him a call. He was super friendly and gave me all the info I needed. We stayed here to celebrate our Christmas with extended family. The place was very big with plenty of room for the kids to run around. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of kitchen tools/gadgets/pots/pans, we didn’t need a thing! The sheets were clean and so was the hot tub (in contrast to what a previous renter mentioned in their review). Both TVs were nice with plenty of options. The furniture was definitely outdated but comfortable and clean. Checkout was super easy. The best part was the hot tub! The only thing I would suggest to the owner is to have additional seating for the dinner table. There were 10 chairs but we could have fit more around the huge table. If you plan to have more in your party I would recommend bringing folding chairs to add on. This place would be great for a gathering in the summertime for sure. Would rent again:)
