Overall it was okay. We didn't have a lighter in the house to start our campfire. The wood was also wet. It was hard to find even a broom in the place to sweep up. The other thing that bothered me was they had a security system that ding every time a door opened and closed. Then it would chirp every 2 minutes because the battery was dead. We had to play white noise to not hear it when we went to bed. The host was very responsive but I think this was overpriced.

We had a great time except locking us out of the house the second day we were there. The host Geri was great and came and unlocked the door for us. The house was great and fit us all perfectly! The kids loved fishing and kayaking and even caught a few fish. The only issue we had but more of just an inconvenience was there was no ice or water coming from the fridge and the queen beds are a little uncomfortable to sleep on. My hips were sore in the mornings. Other than that it was great. Close to the beach and amenities yet away from the Hustle and Bustle of the city’s

Beautiful home and amenities. Wonderful backyard and many supplies available in the house, 10-15min drive to Indiana Dunes state park. However, some stained bed covers, flat pillows, bugs in basement and rooms, extremely uncomfortable beds, no night stands or plug ins by the beds. Mismatched information about check-in and check-out between the website and the book in the house. House rules book states to put linens and towels in hamper available in each room, only found 1 hamper available in basement. The guest contact was very short and cold when asked a few questions and one time she did not respond at all. Someone arrived at the house before 10am while we were getting in the car to leave during check-out.

We're glad you enjoyed the home, backyard, and the convenient location near Indiana Dunes State Park. We always try to respond promptly and warmly to guest questions, so we're sorry to hear the contact experience didn't feel that way during your stay. All linens are washed between every guest, and extra pillows in the closets are simply a thicker option for those who prefer them; the home was also recently treated by an exterminator, with the service receipt available in the Welcome binder. Regarding check-out, we offer an additional hour beyond the standard time as a courtesy, which guests are welcome to use or not as their schedule allows. We appreciate you sharing your experience and taking the time to stay with us.

Good time had by all!
The property was well kept. Anything we could have possibly needed was on hand. Geraldine was friendly and accessible, although everything was so prepared we really didn't need to contact her for anything. Excellent place to stay when visiting the dunes. Able to come back to the place after a long day in the national Park and relax on the deck, kayak, fish and just relax. Highly recommend this property to anybody visiting Indiana dunes.

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

No working hot tub
One of the main reasons for staying here was a private hot tub. It was being repaired when we got there and took until the next day to be heated and after turning on, it immediately started leaking and shut down. Still not repaired as of check out time. We would appreciate an adjustment made to the cost of rental.

Hi Shirl, we’re sorry your stay fell short of expectations. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
-We did have a repairman at the property fixing the hot tub when you arrived.
-The hot tub takes about 6-8 hours to heat after it has been drained and refilled.
-We are sorry the hot tub needed an additional repair visit. We hope the measures we took helped make up for the inconvenience.

Beautiful Retreat for Families
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!
