The property was great for our family with eight adults and seven small children. Each family had their own bedroom with multiple beds and space to spread out in. The hit of the weekend was the swimming pool! All the kids loved it and we made great family memories! It was also nice having the barn with games and space for the kids to run around and play in as we had a rainy day when we were there. Would definitely recommend for a family trip. Great to make memories in!! Close proximity to town, outlet malls, and Michigan city Beach

we really enjoyed the space. It worked well for our family. We particularly liked the large gathering spaces and tables we were able to enjoy each other’s company easily in this house. The pool was great for the kids. And they enjoyed every minute in it. They also really liked the playhouse and swings. it was very close to Michigan city where we enjoyed the zoo, the Barker mansion, and the Indiana Dunes National and State Park. We found many enjoyable restaurants as well. overall, you were pleased with the house it’s location and it’s price.

The pool was the highlight of the property! We appreciated how warm it stayed and the floats and towels provided. The kids in the family also enjoyed the tree house and barn toys.The beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the size of each of the rooms. The kitchen was well stocked with mostly everything we needed. It would have been nice to have some plastic/kids cups to use.We were not aware that one of the bathrooms was only accessible through a bedroom, making logistics with a large family a little difficult. There were also a few cleaning things left unfinished when we checked in (wet towels and bath mats in the dryer, dishes in the dishwasher) and we would have appreciated a few more washcloths for the number of people staying in the house.The host was easy to contact when checking in and was quick to resolve the lack of hand soap and paper towels in the house. We had a question when checking out, but did not receive a response until after we had left the property.Overall, it was a great house for an extended family gathering and we really enjoyed our time there!

We couldn’t find any forks and other utensils because they were left in the dishwasher. Towels were missing as well, as they were left in the dryer but whomever did the laundry. Hosts should’ve emptied the dishwasher and the dryer and not make us do that. Furthermore, the day before our trip we were given a list of requirements: stripping the beds, placing all towels in the laundry room, etc. We paid a cleaning fee and yet, we did housekeeping upon our arrival AND before leaving, per hosts demands. The property sits on an extremely busy road, so if you are looking for peace and quiet, this is not your place. The noise is impossible all day and all night. Property is adequately equipped otherwise, but don’t expect the pool to be welcoming, as it is surrounded by mud and you are not allowed to touch the water heater, so it is not “heated”. Bedrooms are comfortable, with plenty of sleeping spaces for a large family reunion, but kitchen is somewhat lacking. Bring your own baking pans if you want to bake a breakfast because there is none. Bring your own paper towels also - you won’t find any. Mostly, arrive prepared to fold the towels left in the dryer and put dishes away left in the dishwasher.
