Nice Enough
The place was nice enough. It may have been great for a family that wanted to be outdoors and enjoy the lake. I was on my own for a spiritual retreat, along with my dog. At night the curtains didn't fully close, there were no deadbolts on the exterior doors and no security light in the parking area. When my dog started growling and not settling, I decided to leave at 2:00 a.m. I had booked two nights and left all of the money behind when I decided to leave. No small thing. So, I'd say, not a good place for my purpose.

RELAX by the Lake
The owner, Charlie and Robin, thought of everything to help you relax. Very comfortable lakeside home with awesome views. Quiet neighborhood. Roku TV’s in living room and master bedroom. If you enjoy fishing you are in for a treat. I caught a lot of huge bluegill, a few perch, and a couple of largemouth by accident as I was focused on bluegill. Communication with the owner was excellent as we stay in VRBO ‘s a lot and Charlie would respond in less than ten minutes each time. We wish we could have stayed longer. You have a full kitchen but IF you don’t want to cook you have several restaurant choices in Angola about 10 minutes away. We highly recommend this property! Jim and Jill

This was a great place to stay! Beautiful sunsets, quite setting, access to water toys was great to get out on the lake. My son caught a bunch of crappie. It is remote however your very close to town. I would recommend it as place to stay. Had everything you would need.

Delightful stay
Charlie & Robin were excellent hosts, they went above and beyond both before during and after our stay. They were quick to respond when I had questions before and Charlie checked in on us a couple times via message. The cottage was cute and very clean. Kitchen was well stocked with plates, utensils and items for cooking. We appreciated the smores fixings, bag of ice, popcorn, dog treats and washing machine. The lake was very peaceful and we really enjoyed the backyard that overlooked the lake and the fire pit. As much as all five humans enjoyed the visit, our two dogs were in heaven! Within five minutes of arriving both dogs were diving off the dock like pros. Our Samoyed had a blast exploring the yard and our Labrador we couldn’t get out of the lake. When it was time to go, I leashed them up and went to the front door and they both ran to the back door to out to the lake and wouldn’t come 😂 I don’t blame them I wanted to stay a bit longer too! So all in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend!

What a great getaway. Right on the water, plenty of room, lots of water “toys” (boats/kayaks). Owner was great to work with and provided more than the basics. Even had some dog treats and beds. Well worth the price!

Beautiful lake, birder’s paradise.
While it was only my husband and me this trip, this house would be perfect for a large family gathering. Two full baths and many beds, well stocked with necessities. Lots of games for the kids, two TVs, and a rocking’ internet connection. The lake itself is beautiful and peaceful. Despite many houses, it felt like we were all alone most of the week. We didn’t catch a lot of fish as the lake was too high due to heavy rains in prior weeks. But we did catch some variety…a large mouth bass, a yellow perch, and a variety of pan fish. And rumor has it some monster carp, although we did not attempt that. I was especially happy with the variety of birds to hear and observe…some I did not have on my lifetime list. A red-headed woodpecker, a warbling verio, a Baltimore oriole and a bluebird in addition to the usual robins, sparrows, wrens, and finches. We also had a gaggle of Canadian geese with many goslings…and a pair of herons who didn’t have much better luck with the fish than we did. Charley and Robin are great hosts, quick to respond to any request. House was quite clean except for window sills which could use a quick vacuum. But that’s life on a lake, for you…a few bugs are a small price to pay for a lovely week at the lake.

Not guest-ready
No opening windows, cobwebs and dirt in all windows, a wasp nest in one window, dirty kayaks with spiders and bugs, broken outdoor chairs, water-filled paddleboat (unusable), insufficient lighting, nonworking water softener, deck chairs in garage, deck had roses growing up through deck boards, sketchy pier. Spent 4 hours first day cleaning kayaks and a couple of windows plus chairs by the fire pit. Host was responsive and lake was serene and beautiful, but thos cottage was NOT prepared for paying guests. Very disappointed.

This house has a beautiful view of the lake with use of a paddle boat, fishing boat and kayaks. There are plenty of games available for indoors and a cornhole game for outdoors. There is a laundry room too. Kitchen has plenty of dishes and silverware. Things that are not available are salt, hair blow dryer, shampoo and conditioner in one of the bathrooms and tissues.

Great Hidden Gem on Quiet Lake
We loved chasing the shade all weekend long in the huge lakefront back yard. The space fit the 5 of us comfortably and we mostly grilled so did not us the kitchen very extensively. Nothing fancy but clean with very comfortable furniture and ample space for our crew. The neighborhood was very quiet as was the lake. We all loved our stay!

Great place
We loved the outdoor amenities. The house was big enough for all of us to be together but not on top of one another. It was so nice to go to a house that had all the necessities already there for cooking. The great location was close but not too close to Angola. We took advantage of the beautiful roads for motorcycle riding. We hope to return again.
