"The place was great and the backyard was excellent for hanging out with friends. Nice to have kayaks as well to use in the lake in the back. Proximity to Dunes was also excellent. "

    We enjoyed our stay. It was a great location for visiting Indiana Dunes. I gave a 4/5 overall because I didn't like the fact that we had to put all of the clean dishes away from the dishwasher, strip the beds and take the garbage out to the bins. I feel like this is why you pay a cleaning fee. My only other suggestions for the host would be to get better pillows in the bedrooms, the ones provided were very flat and stained, and also some hooks in the bathrooms or bedrooms to hang towels on would have been really helpful. There is only a small towel bar in the bathroom, not big enough for more than one wet towel

    All the guys really enjoyed the property. The combination of outdoor & indoor space was perfectly suited to our needs. On-site activities included kayaking, fishing, eating & lounging on the decks, hot tub, & movies!We're planning on renting there again!

    We absolutely loved our stay here. We traveled with four adults and three kids (between the ages of 3 and 8) and truly felt like there was something for everyone. From the provided fishing poles and kayaks, to nights in the hot tub or around the fire pit, each space seemed to be designed with intentionality, and with families and relaxation in mind. The indoor spaces offered just enough amenities and space to truly make it feel like a home away from home. Multiple spacious living areas made it very comfortable. The lake itself was serene and clean. A quiet peaceful space to reflect and enjoy nature, and the absolute perfect view to wake up to in the morning.We also enjoyed meeting the host, Geraldine, and hearing about the history of the lake. We accidentally locked the basement door and couldn’t get downstairs. She responded to texts quickly and came over within a couple hours. She was so kind and friendly, had all the qualities you’d look for in an excellent hostess. You could really tell she cares about the guest experience. The town of Portage itself wasn’t much, but this was the perfect place to stay- an hour drive (or less depending on traffic) to the city, a half an hour across the border to Michigan and adorable little beach towns, and a quick ten min drive to the gorgeous beaches of Indiana Dunes National Park… if you can pull yourself away from the serenity of lake life long enough to explore elsewhere that is ;)Our entire crew would be quick to recommend this space to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, with tons of adventure within arms reach for those who want to stay busy as well! It was a beautiful balance of both!

    We met our dear friends and their kids here for a long weekend to explore Indiana Dunes, and we think it was the perfect house for our four adults and five kids (ages 6 to 15). Pros:- The pond it sits on is beautiful! The kids went on the kayaks both days. - The outdoor space is lovely. The kids spent all their time at the house outside. We ate outside, played games outside, etc. - Quiet neighborhood - The kids loved the hot tub!- Reasonably priced- Close to Indiana Dunes National and State Parks (the reason we came here!)- Clean beds, bathrooms - super important to me!- Plenty of towels and linens and blanketsCons:- Gas oven makes the whole house smell of gas, which was concerning to us. We stopped making sweet potatoes because we were worried about the smell. Opened the back door to air it out, and it was fine. - Drains in both upstairs showers are very slow, so you end up showering while standing in some water. - House alarm went off one evening, and we're still not exactly sure why. The Evolve company was as helpful as they could be, but we never heard back from our local hosts about it. Luckily, it only happened once. So, not a huge deal. - If you're planning on cutting a watermelon, plan to bring your own knives. ;) Overall, we had a lovely time and would stay here again. The outdoor space makes this place special! Would recommend.

    We are originally from the area but moved to GA 18 years ago. All of our Family still resides in NW Indiana. It was nice to have a home to stay in and yet be together with all of our Family. The property was a perfect location and provided all the comforts of home!
