Overall a great experience for a quiet getaway. The views were amazing and having a boat made the trip so much more fun. The facilities themselves were a mashup of rustic and modern. Providing old country charm with modern appliances. The only concern is the cleaning fee/check out. Despite a 300 cleaning fee we had to empty all the garbage, take it to the main land, wash all the dishes, strip all the beds, and move all the towels.

Great Island Trip
Our family had a great time on Grape Island. The accommodations were great and having access to a boat for the week was wonderful. Being on an island is not as challenging as you imagine because the trip to the mainland is 2-3 minutes. We would recommend this location to everyone!

Great Getaway
My family and I had a great time at this island lake house. The kitchen and living area is great. The kids loved the swimming area. Game nights on the porch overlooking the lake were perfect. The owner was very responsive.

Wonderful Getaway
This is a beautiful and historic property. It’s like stepping back in time, but with all the modern conveniences. The house itself is beautiful and spacious. Having the whole private island to yourself is amazing. The use of the pontoon to explore Sylvan Lake, go fishing or make a trip to the store was so nice. Highly recommend for a family getaway!

Island Getaway for Family Vacation
We had a great time on the island making memories with our grown kids and grandkids. The littles enjoyed swimming, fishing, and playing in the sand. My sons-in-law even set up a "treasure hunt" for the kids to find a treasure chest with fake jewels buried in the sand. They loved it. It was a great place to relax and fun to explore the lake.

Family vacation
We enjoyed our stay so much. The home was perfect for our late family of 12. The kids had a blast as well as the adults. The only issues we could mention to improve on would be the outdoor furniture was not really useable and the beach area could use some seating. Nothing that impacted the overall experience. Four stars all the way, we would book again! This family recommends this property!

One of our coolest trips ever!
This is an amazing spot - we had three couples and a couple younger children and we thoroughly enjoyed the island. It was so fun to explore the lake on the pontoon, which you can take to the market or ice cream shop (when it's open, we were late in the season). The nice big yard is great for playing ball and we spent every dry evening by the fire pit - a wonderfully relaxing spot at night. Beautiful kitchen, plenty of spices and pans and things I don't expect to find at a VRBO. Quick responses from owner when little questions came up - we hope to be back again!

Awesome Lake - Great Renovation on a Private Island
Great host. Great check-in process. Boat pickup and access to the island was quick and painless. The internal renovation was done very well. Top of the line appliances. Plenty of room. Huge screened in outdoor patio. Pack your gear and coolers with food and drink - you are on an island. Easy on and off access to the boat and kayaks.

Perfect private stay with use of Pontoon
Location is very private which was perfect for us. Cars are parked right across the lake on an easement & pontoon was waiting for us.
Nicely stocked house. Everything you need in the kitchen, plenty of towels for the lake etc.
First impressions:
pontoon is so dirty & absolutely covered with cobwebs and spiders.
House itself was cleaned but porch area could have used a broom to it.
Couldn’t figure out how to work oven - it wouldn’t turn on. No instructions for it.
Water leak from en-suite bathroom upstairs- coming into dining table area
Very warm upstairs
Need water shoes for beach area - lots of sharp rocks
Dishwasher doesn’t clean dishes very well
Dishes sitting in cabinet were dirty. Had to wash everything befor using.
Very small hot water heater - everybody’s showers were cold
It would have been nice if Beds were made

Great place to stay!
We had a wonderful time on Sylvan Lake. The house was perfect for our family of adults and toddlers, much more roomy than I thought it would be. Kids liked the "beach" and eating lunch on the boat! The lake was very quiet during the week- which we loved, gave us time to kayak, fish, and sit by the fire. I will say only one adult got poision ivy (she is highly allergic) all the kids stayed on the paths and were able to avoid that. We did have an issue with bees getting into the house- but I am sure that can be remedied easy enough. There was enough sleeping room for everyone- the house was pitch black a night- great for sleeping. Kristy and crew could not have been more responsive to my question pre trip and while we were on the island. We had a great trip and made lots of memories.

Great Space
We had a wonderful time at Grape Island. The boat was easy to use and the island isn't too far from shore, so even though it took us multiple trips to unload it didn't take terribly long. The big yard, trail around the island, and screened in porch were amazing spaces for the kids in our group to play! It is worth noting that the staircase is rather steep and narrow up to the second floor. If anyone in the group has trouble with stairs they should plan to stay in the master on the first floor. We had to change our sleeping arrangements because my grandpa couldn't do the stairs safely. I would also recommend this trip to be an offline experience. Two members of our group had to jump on several work calls during the week and the wifi was not strong enough to support their connection. They ended up working from the public library in Kendalville. Overall, the space was a ton of fun and the old stone house is gorgeous!

Idyllic private island stay on Sylvan Lake in Rome City, Indiana July 2019
We rented Bishop Island for our small family reunion (11 people) and couldn’t have been more excited with this property. This home features modern conveniences with its 2018/2019 remodel, while maintaining many of the beautiful 1900 era home features. Absolutely love the expansive front porch, stone walls, original windows and doors including a “Dutch” door- I had forgotten these. Being on an island was a unique experience, loved the privacy while being in the middle of the lake. The island is mostly undeveloped with beautiful large trees, lovely birdsong, chipmunks, and great firefly (lightening bug) shows at night.
Having 3.5 bathrooms is definitely convenient. The 4 bedrooms are large, furniture is laid out well, & the bedding is comfortable. I even had to ask what brand of mattresses these were as we plan to buy one for home since we slept so well. The kitchen is well-equipped with very modern appliances and great space for a large group to eat together while we share our favorite recipes. We only left once to go out to eat and explore a little Amish country.
Loved looking at old lake property maps & reading some of the history of Rome City & the lake that are present in the house. Sylvan is a beautiful all-sport lake. Even though it is smaller than the lake I grew up on, it has several fantastic bays for your favorite water activities. During the week, you may even have a bay all to yourself. Sylvan is now my favorite lake – out of several in Indiana, Michigan & New Mexico. Just wish there was a marina on the lake to gas up. There are views of the lake from both the front & back deck of the house, and a sandy area for swimming just off the shore on the backside- a short kayak or pontoon ride away, both of which were provided for our stay. For July 4th, the fireworks were amazing over the water, one of the best shows ever!
Kristi was great to work with and always responded quickly to our questions. It is obvious that she loves this home and that many of the residents of Sylvan Lake are excited to see this house renovated and occupied again. Can’t wait to come back!

Relaxing
The overall stay was very relaxing with little to worry about. Privacy and quiet were every moment. The owner very responsive to our questions. The web description said extra refrigerator and hot tub. When asked about it was explained by owner. This did not disrupt the fun that we had and great experience at the house and lake.

Bishop Island
House was great. The outside / exterior wasn’t quite as nice. Loved having a boat, but it was very dirty and full of cobwebs and debris. There was a swing on site, but it was old and rusted. Would’ve rather not had one. The dock pad used for jumping in the water had a screw sticking out of the steps. Overall the stay was great, but would have loved to see these little things fixed.

This place was amazing! The inside of the house was way better than we thought it would be. The only way to make this place better would be to clear out more weeds along the shore line. Overall it was perfect!

Fun long weekend to end the summer
A group of 8 adults and 7 kids under the age of 4 stayed here for our annual trip together. We loved swimming at the beach and hanging out on the screened porch. There is plenty of space to spread out in the house. The amenities are abundant, and having an extra fridge on the screened porch was a lifesaver with so many of us there. My only suggestion is a good spray down with a hose or at least wiping away cobwebs on the boat as it was covered with webs and spiders when we arrived, but we had a wonderful stay making memories with our families.

Family vacation with grand kids.
Property manager and owners were very responsive. Unfortunately, there were some issues with the local help that were supposedly taking care of the yardwork, exterior cleaning, but the owners handled the situation as best they could. It made the first couple days of our trip more stressful than it should have been.
The interior was functional, but additional furniture would be a big help for families that use it. (Dressers, shelves in the bathroom, more lamps) Additionally, the screened porch could be a huge asset, but the screening needs replacing, and a good cleaning is required. We chased many wasps, and 1 bird out of the porch.
Lastly, it could be the area, but the internet was very spotty, at best. Using computers and/or watching TV was a challenge.
This place has sooooo much potential, but needs some TLC for the price to rent it.

Fun weekend on our own island
It was a great location to meet friends halfway. As shared in other reviews, updated outdoor furniture and a seating area or furniture near the docks/beach would be nice to sit. We enjoyed exploring the area.
