This home met our needs very well. 7 bedrooms and nice pool and large lounge area with lots of seating. We made good use of the grill and smoker which made for great evening dinners together rather than eating out. Our littles loved the trampoline and clubhouse. The house was well stocked with kitchen needs. The owner was great to work with. It’s 15 min from MI City and lots of other activities. We look forward to coming back.

This house was the perfect house for our large family to stay while on vacation. It is very well equipped with everything you could need. Lots of things to do in the back yard. Awesome pool! The host was very friendly. We will definitely stay here again if we go back to the area. Highly recommend!!
10.0 / 10.0
This was the perfect house for our stay. We had 12 people in our group and this house was perfect. Really enjoyed being in the woods but right off main highway. Easy access to South Bend which we came up for a game at Notre Dame.
Next day we went up to Lake Michigan and Michigan City for a great lunch and to see the sights.
House was close to plenty of food and shopping less than 10 minutes away.
The house itself was great. Plenty of beds, stocked with everything you could need. Game room was awesome for our kids with plenty of entertainment even though too cold for pool and outside entertainment. Speakers in every room for music was a nice touch too.
We would definitely stay here again. Recommend 10/10

We stayed here and the interior was fine enough. Two of the bathrooms in the house do not have locks on them, so if you're staying with a large group, you might get walked in on. The outside needed some maintenance. The pool liner is pulling away from the sides in multiple places. We were told there was a "city ordinance" to be quiet at 9:00. We looked up city limits and the house isn't even in city limits. The address is LaPorte IN and LaPorte's noise ordinance in town is 11:00 (during the week), so I think the 9:00 is a lie. The first night we were there, we received a text from the property manager about noise at 8:53 telling us to keep it down. At this point in the night, it was 6 adults playing cornhole without music and was prior to their BS 9:00 noise rule. The listing says there are 3 outside cameras that will not be on when you stay here. I can tell you there were about double the amount of cameras and they recorded the entire time we stayed here. In my opinion, for what this home cost to rent ($6,500 for 4 nights) I would rent somewhere else.

Five couples enjoyed a family weekend. The kitchen had all the gadgets & appliances to cook hearty spreads. The wraparound porch had plenty of seating to enjoy forest views. But the heated pool was best. The size was huge, and with so many seating areas, the whole crew could sit in sun or shade at the same time.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this home. Very comfortable for the 14 of us. Best equipped kitchen in a rental I have seen. We loved the pool. Owner is very friendly and responds quickly to any questions.

Whenever someone rents a place, you hope that the pictures show an accurate description of the property and that the place is quiet and secure.
Well this property was better than advertised, as the pictures don't capture all the things this property has to offer. From young to older guests, the owner has everything one could need or want for an enjoyable and relaxing vacation.
The owner and his housekeeper were extremely helpful, supportive and communicative, making our stay seamless.
We will be back again!

We enjoyed our stay in La Porte at Alastair's house. There were lots of comfortable places to lounge by the pool, the kitchen was well-stocked, it had an amazing playroom with lots of toys for our kids, and we enjoyed the stereo system that allowed us to play music throughout the house. Alastair and his team were easy to communicate with and punctual when we had an issue with the pool cover. The house was the perfect fit for our group of friends who wanted the chance to catch-up and relax together outside the city. We are hoping to come back!

I rented this house for myself, my three kids, their spouses and eight of my grandchildren. The house was clean and very well stocked. We had everything we needed to prepare and eat meals. The bedrooms and bathrooms were also well stocked. There were plenty of beds for everyone. It was very comfortable. There were tons of toys and games and things for the kids to do. The huge table in the dining room was big enough for all of us to sit down and eat. The outside area was awesome. There was a play area for the kids with a swingset and slide and trampoline. The pool was huge and absolutely beautiful. It was clean and there were plenty of pool toys and floats available. It also had a hard cover that made us feel safe when the pool was not in use. We all had a wonderful time, especially the kids.
Communication with the owner was fantastic. We called because we ran out of something and we had what we needed the very next morning.
The house looked just as it was portrayed in the ad and had everything available that was promised. I would not hesitate to rent this house again in the future.

Went with extended family including nieces and nephews. Pool is great. 20 minutes from Michigan City and 30 minutes from Notre Dame. Kitchen and living areas are spacious and well equipped. Bedrooms are little outdated; but clean. House is definitely being renovated somewhat as there are walls that are being patched and will be painted. The areas where the family gathers and eats are great though.
Nice house to get away from it all. A lot of nature around it. Country feel. If you are looking for immaculate up to date modern home with private bathrooms for every bedroom, do not book. If you do not need private bathroom for each room, then book the home as service was great and the house did provide the room and fun our family needed.
8.0 / 10.0
The location is great! The pool and everything provided in the downstairs area for children make it so family friendly. The generous amount of basic supplies provided is fantastic. I packed way too many kitchen supplies as most of what I needed was there.
Cons would be that although it says 4 bathrooms, there are only 2 full and 2 half baths. With a large group, juggling shower times was challenging. I did not realize that until after I booked. The description needs to better clarify that fact. There are also some maintenance areas that need to be addressed, but I am sure the owner will be on top of that. It can be hard to maintain a rental property from a distance and we understand that.
