Very equipped kitchen. Room for everyone at the very large table. Kids playroom with lots of games and toys for all ages. Loved the spaciousness of this house and how the kitchen, dining area and living areas were all open to each other but had clusters of seating areas.

TOY ROOM & GAME ROOM- 5 star and full of fun! KITCHEN-fully stocked with top notch appliances and ALL you need! Dining room table was the selling point for me and did not disappoint, we ate, we played games, we crafted..sturdy and spacious. Living room spaces were well laid out and so.much.seating! BATHROOMS-All 3 were clean and spacious fully stocked with some of the best smelling toiletries! BEDROOMS-Perfection! Clean and comfortable with plenty of space and storage! GENERAL OVERVIEW-spacious, clean, very welcoming home that encapsulates and encourages fellowship and reprieve from the chaos! There is much to do around the area and plenty of Northern Indiana Hospitality in this rental! So much thought and love put into every little detail!

From the moment we walked in, it was picture perfect. We felt more like home . It’s was spotless, not a want for any extras. You could tell the family put their heart and soul into the detailes. Our family traveled from TN, Fla, and NC for our son’s wedding that was located in Ohio. We hosted the rehearsal dinner with a success. Thank you Cassie and family , I would highly recommend your lovely place.

Great space
There were 20 of us, extended family, and the common space and game room were excellent. Only 3 bathrooms caused us some bottlenecks a couple times but all in all, great experience.
