2024 Family Vacation
Lake Daze has everything you would need and more. Yard/Dock/Lake were great for everyone! The lake was the main draw and it didn’t disappoint. Water depth was only 2 feet (super nice for the kids) at the end of the dock and water clarity was 8+ feet!

Good Time
It is a very nice place and comfy beds. Very shallow lake which worked good for toddler. The only down side is Brainered International Speedway is very close and when outside we heard all the drag racing so it was hard to carry on a conversation when outside with all the noise from BIR.

This was our third year staying at Lake Daze for our family vacation. We love the house, it fits our family perfectly and is kid & baby friendly. We enjoy the shallow water for the kids to swim in by the dock.

Lake Wonderful Daze
The house was so spacious and clean. It had everything we needed and more. The beds were very comfortable to sleep in. The lake was very shallow but it was great to just float in and stay cool.

Perfect Family Weekend
It was a perfect place to stay right next to BIR. We were there for weekend racing but not everyone was attending. It was so close we could go back for lunch, get the kids and they were able to enjoy time at the track without having to be there all day (which gets to be a long day)! The house was very well stocked with everything we needed and more. We will need to go back sometime in the summer when we can take advantage of all of the outdoor equipment they had for use.

Perfect Family Spot
This was our first extended family get together. We had 4 families, with kids ranging from 1-4. Lake was perfect for the kiddos. Lots of space to run and play in the yard. Bedrooms and amenities were wonderful. No bathtub which was a little tricky with young ones. But overall absolutely wonderful stay.

Holly Jolly Christmas
We rented this home over the Christmas holiday and it met our needs to a "T". The home has great views of the lake and in the mornings we were treated to beautiful sunrises. The kitchen has a nice big center island that can seat many people and is located between 2 living rooms. The lower cabinets are labeled making it easy to find cookware, kitchen towels, silverware, etc. The bathrooms are nice size and have the softest bath rugs I have ever stepped on. The house is meticulously maintained and the owners have it well stocked with everything. They promptly answered any questions we had. The home was nicely decorated including a Christmas tree. We loved the Grinch hung up on a pole by the lake that lit up at night. We had family over for Christmas Eve dinner and there was plenty of room for everyone. To quote grandma, "This was the best Christmas in a very long time! " I recommend this place to anyone looking to get away. You will not be disappointed.

Family get together!
After what this past two years has brought us it was nice to have a space we felt comfortable gathering in. The property was very nice, comfortable and all we could have hoped for, no disappointments here. Even thou we were there in the fall there was plenty to keep everyone occupied. The kids really enjoyed the kid friendly things they found to enjoy. Enjoyed all the restaurants, shops and breweries near by. Kids especially enjoyed the putt putt golf course and of course the go carts! Homeowners were very responsive and available along the way and everything went very smoothly. Thank you for sharing your lovely property.

The house and layout was absolutely perfect for our family group. Kitchen/sleeping arrangements were perfect. We knew there was a drought, but didn’t anticipate how that would impact our trip. Thankfully our pontoon rental refunded our deposit as we were not able to have a boat at the dock. I know there is nothing the owners can do about that situation, but we would have made other plans if we knew that we couldn’t dock a boat. And, we didn’t ask about it, we just assumed. We should have asked more questions with the current low water situation .

First get together post covid
We had a lovely time at the lake! The property was very clean and was just what our group of 10 needed. The property is beautiful and had plenty of room for soccer and all our outdoor games. The water is the star of course! The owners were amazing to help us figure out what would and would not work for our own boat. Thanks for a great experience!
