Football weekend
2 of my sons, and my brother stayed at the property for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay, the location, the amenities, and the views from the property. It was a simple 20 minute drive to the NOTRE DAME campus and i would highly recommend staying here with or without kids.

The best!!
Perfect vacation for lake lovers who want to kayak, paddle board, fish, swim, and watch outdoor movies at night around the fire. The lake is clean & quiet, easy for all of our ages to safely enjoy. The house is gorgeous & stocked with everything you need. We can’t wait to go back!!

Lake life experience!
This property, and all the amenities, was so enjoyable! We took full advantage of the kayaks and paddleboards each day we were there. And the splash pad! Wow, soooo fun. We enjoyed drinking morning coffee on the dock. The house also had everything we needed to cook big meals and watch movies together in the evening. If you want a lake experience, look no further!

Great quiet little lake
We had a great stay at this property. The house was well stocked with most anything we could need and overall pretty clean. There were 3 full sized single kayaks and 2 stand up paddle boards as well as a pedal boat and a water carpet (lily pad) for use The owners were very responsive throughout our stay. We had an issue with the outdoor tv and he came right over to trouble shoot it. We had a large group but we ended up making it work comfortably; 10 adults (ranging from 18-59) and one 2 yr old. Our only issue with the house came with trying to find a space to put the 2 yr old down at 8pm (and for naps) and not be woken by the family as the second floor bedroom does not have a door to separate it from the downstairs noise (that travels well in the house). The other sleeping areas are all close to the family room. Fortunately the weather was great most of the week and we spent all of our evening time outside under the gazebo by the fire. The beds were all comfortable and good sized (only one twin bed). My only suggestion would be to replace the loft air mattress with a simple mattress on the floor. The air mattress was comfortable for the young adult that had to sleep there but it did require air to be added every morning. A foam mattress would fit in this same space and wouldn’t require the “upkeep.” Overall we had a great time here and will definitely recommend this place to family and friends looking for a nice quiet vacation on a kayaking/swimming lake.

Adorable cottage
Adorable cottage, very clean, tons of extra toys to play in the water (e.g paddle board kayaks) Things I’d note or just keep in mind if you have kids upstairs is warm and no door so it is louder but there are other rooms down stairs that are cool, more of a fishing lake than swimming so sea weed is pretty think but there is a little beach spot and the lily pad was easy to take out deeper and anchor down 👍 we loved this place!
