Indian Lake Waterfront Home & Boathouse - Boat Rental Available - Sleeps 16

Location was amazing! Size of the home accommodated our large group and the host was easy to get ahold of. Great place!

We stayed at Lakeview from 7/5-7/10, and wish that we could have spent another week. The home was an amazing fit for 6 adults, and 5 kids, ages 9-15. Everyone had plenty of room to come together, then spread out. Beds were comfy, furniture comfy, kitchen well supplied with cookware, dishes, silverware, utensils, and supplies. The view of the lake is so pretty, and the lake itself wonderful. We spent every night on the deck, enjoying each other and our view. We rented a pontoon, and the boathouse was such a plus. We had an amazing week of enjoying each other, this home, and the lake. John, our host, is easily accessible, and quick to respond with any questions, or concerns. We highly recommend this VRBO, and we are already planning our return stay next summer!!!

The outside spaces are the best part along with the fabulous lake view. It is not private but the one neighbor we spoke with was very friendly. Plenty of outside seating on both levels and by the firepit. The boat slip is a tight fit for a pontoon boat. We needed to clean the grill before using, and the freezer needs cleaning. The well water is yellow and has an odor but sometimes you can't avoid that on these types of properties. It does cause fixtures to rust and turn yellow. Be sure to bring your own water for drinking. We had wonderful time with friends on our favorite lake close to home. The lily pads/greenery and herons and turtles are my favorites.

The location was good. Having a boat house was great. The house itself is big. But the wow factor is lacking. The host is responsive- nothing against him. He seemed receptive to my comments. The cleaners need to step up their game. Lots of dusty surfaces, and things that were overlooked like the refrigerator. The kitchen is an unorganized mess, pots and pans were worn out, but was told they were just replaced. So maybe we didn't look in the right spot for new ones. We always travel with a few kitchen items for this reason. The house is dated and could use some TLC as a rental. But it's also for sale, so I'm sure they don't want to put money into it. The parking situation for a house that sleeps so many is definitely lacking max 4 spots. But that seems to be the trend for Indian Lake. It was stated there was extra parking at the end of the street, but when you go down there, there is a sign posted "no parking" . The other backup option listed was the state park - specifically for truck and boat trailer. There is no trailer parking spots at the state park visitor parking. You would have to park sideways and take up multiple spots. We had a truck and boat trailer and suv with jet skis. We used Chippewa boat ramp and moved them daily instead. Never does the house state to be handicap friendly* but just noting that there are stairs at every entrance and the main level bathroom shower has glass doors that also make it hard to access for some. Just something to note.
