Good house for family of four

The house was a good stay for a family of four. Two bedrooms, but each parent took a kid and it was fine. Backyard would have been fine for them if it hadn't rained. Tub/shower worked fine for them. Good place to stay.

Great Lakehouse and boat included

We enjoyed this simple yet very comfy 2 bedroom Lakehouse that includes pontoon. On hot days we fished and floated in lovely Flint lake, on rainy days we enjoyed breweries, taphouses, giftshops, and college campus that Valparaiso has to offer. The frontage has a mud bottom so for swimming you want to jump off the pontoon and be comfortable in life jackets or noodles. Boat is in great shape and house AC and wifi were excellent when needed. Kayaks and paddle boards a big hit for my 11 year old twins. Highly recommend this rental for an easy Lakehouse getaway.

Leah's Lakehouse delivers what it promises

Just finished a 9 day stay at Leah's Lakehouse. The VRBO site and pictures accurately represent the property, amenities and condition. It is located on a private lane on beautiful Flint Lake, includes a recent model pontoon boat for lake cruising and is a quiet, relaxing atmosphere just a few minutes from town and local restaurants and businesses. The property owners were pleasant to work with, immediately responded to all communications and questions. You can tell they take great pride in their property and enjoy sharing it with their VRBO customers. Property was clean, well furnished and we enjoyed our time at the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Leah

My name is Leah and my family and I have been renting our Lakehouse through VRBO for the past 5 years. We absolutely love hosting!!
I love to travel and I love animals. Warm summer nights are my favorite but I also love to go skiing in the winter.

Why they chose this property

My lakehouse is very special to my family. We work together to make sure our guests have the best possible trips. We will do everything we can to make you feel at home!

What makes this property unique

My lakehouse is very unique because we include a 2018 18ft Sun Tracker Pontoon with rentals from Spring-Fall. Due to insurance, my dad has to show guests how to properly operate the pontoon and have them fill out a few pages of paper work. He loves meeting new people and showing them our property!!
