The fishing is great!
We spent a long weekend there with our adult children and grandchildren. It is very private but close to a grocery store, restaurants and shopping. The fishing was great. Everyone enjoyed the paddle boat.

Wedding to Remember
This property was remarkable! We had a small wedding ceremony on-site and it was ideal. The home has plenty of room to spread out and there is plenty of yard for an outdoor event. Kids enjoyed fishing and swimming in the lake. Proximity to campus was also great. I’d stay again!!

Perfect setting for a small wedding
This house and property was everything we could have imagined for our daughter’s wedding. She wanted a small outdoor wedding where family and friends could also stay for the long weekend, and this house was it. The house was big enough for everyone and then some. There was plenty of supplies too. The lake was beautiful, as was the setting of the house. The landscaping was a little rough, but the yard was nicely mowed. I would definitely recommend to others!

Lovely Home and Property
The spacious home and beautiful property was perfect for 12 friends to enjoy 4 nights and 5 days together. The home was well stocked, enough bathrooms for 12 gals, a host who quickly responded to any questions, enough seating for games and meals, large bedrooms. Would highly recommend.

Excellent Location, Large Space - Poor Cleanliness
The location is great and the space is large. You are secluded from all of your neighbors, and there is plenty of space for 12+ people. The kitchen was well stocked. If you have anything specific (like a large stock pot) you'll want to bring that. Photos are from a real estate listing and amenities & furniture are different (no gym/peloton). An interior window pane was broken before we arrived but the exterior pane was intact. The big problem was the cleanliness. On its surface it was clear the kitchen and bathrooms had been cleaned after the last guests, however one of the beds was never cleaned (the cleaning crew must have missed it). There was still makeup smudged on a pillowcase and the sheets were clearly never washed. The worst part of the stay was that there was an obvious mouse problem. Toilet paper sitting near the ground had been chewed, and there was a lot of mouse poop. One bed had lots of mouse poop in it and needed to be completely washed. There was also mouse poop on couches and on the floor around the kitchen. Our group isn't particularly squeamish on stuff like this, but it was a significant problem. We guess they did have a cleaning crew come through after the previous guest, but enough time passed and no one came through to clean it again right before our visit. Having mice is a problem that needs solved but having mouse poop everywhere at arrival is unacceptable. The host was responsive and did refund a portion of our stay at our request.

Great place for family gathering
Yale’s VRBO worked well for our family during our son's graduation from IU, and the place was very spacious! It’s a beautiful place and we enjoyed the piano/player piano, and also sitting on the porch and down by the pond. It was a bit out of town, and thus it was very peaceful. We could see fish in the pond, so if you’re a good fisherman, you might catch some good sized fish! The place would be awesome for a large group, as the house is spacious with plenty of beds and bathrooms, and the backyard would be great for gathering and for yard games, etc. Yale was very quick to respond to my messages when I asked questions. Definitely recommend for a large (or small) gathering!

Spacious beautiful home
This home is stunning with over 5000 square feet. It is nestled in the woods away from neighbors. It has a beautiful big pond you may fish in or use the owners paddle boat. Each of the 5 bedrooms has an adjoining bathroom. The beds were clean and comfortable. There were plenty of towels and linen. The kitchen is well equipped however not much space in the refrigerator for a large group of people. We had to rewash pots and pans before using them due to greasy residue left on them. The refrigerator was very dirty and had leftover food in it. As we departed, we threw away all the leftover foods left by other renters. The large bathtub in the master on the main floor did not hold water therefore it was useless. The house keeping needs to improve. The floors look as if they have not been swept or mopped in a long time. There was a lot of hair on the floor in the bathrooms. Several lightbulbs were burned out throughout the house. The landscaping needs attention. We could not locate the remote control for the garage doors. The 3-car garage was nice. The tires on all the bicycles were flat and the fishing poles broken. The property manager notified us to make sure all trash was in the dumpster as trash day was Thursday. That being thanksgiving we didn’t figure it would be picked up until Friday. As of checkout Sunday it still had not been picked up. Although the house was not up to my standards for cleanliness, the overall stay was very pleasant.

Hoosier Football Weekend
The property was beautiful, spacious and very clean. There was plenty of room for our family and plenty more if needed. We cooked multiple meals and the home had everything we needed for our meals. We usually like to grill outside but the flat top inside worked just fine.

House was beautiful. Perfect space and the lake was gorgeous. Good fishing. Pictures online is not how house inside is set up. Was still sufficient but, definitely different. Range oven did not work. wall oven was sufficient. Garbage disposal did not work. We managed, had to use knife to keep drain clear. table clothe had food on it. Plenty of clean towels/ sheets. big plus. Also no kitchen aid mixer in kitchen as pictured. Had to buy a mixer. communication was great. All in all we had a great time. family loved the home. The small negatives is easily fixed. only bowls and cups, no dinner plates. we just bought disposable ones.refrigerator was not clean either. My husband cleaned patio and front porch. Blower in garage and push broom. well supplied with cleaning stuff. Paddle boat was awesome. Our family time was amazing and house was perfect size. This is a very peaceful place to be. Thank you for letting us use your home.
