Perfect!

The property was clean, clean, comfortable and had a well appointed kitchen. Beds were nice and had everything we needed for a long-overdue family reunion. We all agreed it would be a wonderful place to stay during the spring and summer as well. Loved it!

Great place for a relaxing weekend

Absolutely wonderful home!

My family (e.g., wife, son-in-law, two daughters, and four grandchildren enjoyed the privilege of staying at this lovely lakefront home while in the area for a wedding. Over the years, I've stayed at several well-appointed VRBO properties across the U.S. Were I to rank them, our accommodations this past weekend would now be at the top of that list. Wonderful experience -- my family's thanks to the homeowners for sharing their home with us!

Perfect Family Getaway!

Our family of 7 adults thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights at this beautiful home! The photos and descriptions are very accurate and the place is super clean. We made great use of the awesome kitchen, bringing coolers of food and cooking most of our meals while there. The kitchen has everything from pots/pans, utensils, spices, oil, etc... as well as containers to store leftovers. The appliances are all top notch. The dining room table easily seated all 7 of us and we also enjoyed having afternoon snacks out on the beautifully furnished back porch. We LOVED the 4 kayaks, as well as the Lilly pad. The dock is really nice and an easy place to launch the kayaks from. They have plenty of beach towels. The neighbors are all very friendly. We all thought the beds were really comfy. This may be a little pricier than some other rentals in the area, but we absolutely found it to be well worth the cost. We will absolutely stay here again.

Spectacular home inside and out. We were in town helping our son find a place to live before moving to Fort Wayne next month. Anchors of Diamonds was the perfect retreat to return to after a long day of looking.

Outstanding property

This was the PERFECT lake house for our group of six adults and five children 2-10. Brad and his team were the perfect hosts. The home is gorgeous and even better than the pics. Beds are comfortable, the living room comfortably sat everyone, the sitting room was a brilliant home base for the British Open obsessed, and the kitchen was perfect for snackers and chefs alike. They discovered the dish washer was not working just before we arrived, but our hosts were back in a flash with loads of paper products to make sure our vacation remained friction free. Highly recommended.! We hope to stay again!

This home is amazing. Beautiful. Impeccably clean. Great outdoor space. Great kitchen.

Our family really enjoyed our stay here. The home is lovely - lots of space, very clean, great kitchen, and a great outdoor area. We enjoyed fun conversations on the back patio. Loved floating in the lake. And enjoyed the nearby hiking trails. We’ve been doing a family lake trip for the last 10 years and this is by far the best home we’ve stayed in yet. Thank you, Brad and family.

Beautiful Clean House

House is BEAUTIFUL!! Very well stocked and very clean. Enjoyed the lily pad and kayaks. Did most of our cooking on the Blackstone Grill outside. We was a family of 8 ages 1 to 79 years of age. All had a great time and enjoyed the house. Thanks Brad

Perfect family holiday gathering place!

Our family of 5 adults stayed here for four days over Christmas, and it was a unanimous five-star experience. Spotless, beautifully laid out and well-appointed house - double-sided fireplace, lake view, modern kitchen, spacious bedrooms and luxurious baths made for a perfect holiday gathering. Owner was very responsive and diligent. We would all stay here again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic lake trip

We had a fantastic weekend trip in this gorgeous lake home! We spent the weekend with friends and our two toddlers. The place was perfect for all ages, as we were able to enjoy the lake and amenities, even when the kiddos had to go down for naps. With the lake being just down our back steps, it was an amazing convenience! We loved paddling around on the lake in the kayaks, and our little girls thought the experience was so much fun too! The pictures do not do this place justice. The small touches made you feel like you were living a life of luxury. I mean, multiple rainfall showers?! Too good to be true. The house has everything you need for a relaxing, fun weekend. We didn’t leave the home once during our stay! We cannot wait to come back next summer!
