Great family weekend

We were staying for a family wedding at the Indian Lake Lodge. The chalet was a perfect location within an easy walk to the lodge and right along the golf course. The host made sure everything went smoothly during our stay. I would highly recommend staying here.

Just what we needed!

We had a great 3 days at this charming little lake chalet! It was just what our family needed as we were visiting family close by. The beds were super cozy and the loft was our daughter’s favorite spot to read. We will rent again!

Flight 93

Big bright windows facing a serene mountain top golf course. Nicely updated end unit with lots of space. Hosts had everything cleared, beds made, towels layed out, and plaebty of labeled light switches, remotes, and instructions on the fridge made navigating an unfamiliar home a breeze!

Annual Labor Day Golf Trip

We have been coming to Indian Lake for 25-years for our annual Labor Day Golf Trip. This house was ideal for the location and the size of our group. The house was very clean, numerous amentities were provided, and it was spacious. We definitely recommend this property.

Lake Vacation

We enjoyed our short stay at the Lake Access Chalet and would return again if we go back to the area. The kitchen was well stocked with supplies needed for preparing meals. We also enjoyed the use of kayak and stand-up paddle board. All equipment related to lake use was provided. (i.e. life vests, paddles, etc.)

Pleasant Stay

We were in town for a wedding. Had a nice stay at this property. Owner was easy to communicate with and kind and helpful. The house was a lot darker than it looked in the pics online. I think an upgrade in light bulbs is a must. The stairs from main floor to bedrooms downstairs were VERY steep and there was no handrail. Elderly people (my mother in law was with us) will struggle with this. A handrail should be added. Other than that we had a nice time. The owner was great and for where we needed to go the location worked well.

Lucked out with this rental

At first found information on this site patchy and a little off putting, but much improved after “meeting” Jennifer, a very accommodating host. Very helpful. And this rental is outstanding in a beautiful, historic area with few services. It has it all: Laurel Highlands scenery at a beautiful time of year, Flight 93 Memorial, the small historic town of Buckstown, and the Lincoln Highway. Also a beautiful lake and golf course…! Book early!

Lovely place

Enjoyed our stay very much! Place was spotless and very well stocked. Only issues my husband and I encountered were that there wasn't anyplace to store out clothes in the loft area. Suggest adding a small dresser. Also, we found it difficult to get the front door to lock even after closely following the directions. We often had to lock it from the inside and go out the back door. Other then these few things we found the unit very relaxing. The lake is beautiful and the Lodge offers a nice menu.

History Needs Paradise

We had a wonderful stay with this host. The rental is midway between Ligonier and Bedford. It is minutes away from the 911 Memorial. The space is lovely and it had everything we needed to cook family meals the entire week. Super clean. I would say I can’t recall a cleaner VBRO recently. Whoever takes care of this home needs a bonus! The kids enjoyed swimming in the lake and visiting Idlewild Park. Such a beautiful, peaceful spot. We had gorgeous weather and the only point of note are the window unit ACs that might not have kept up if it were much warmer. Thanks to Jennifer and VBRO! We throughly loved it and will look forward to staying here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Waigand

Host profile image
This is an individual, family-owned house. We are a young family and use the house as much as we rent it out, so it truly is a second home to us and love to welcome guests who treat it the same.

Why they chose this property

This chalet is perfect in any season! There is something to do within a walk and/or short drive of the house in every season. Perfect for a getaway, and much quieter than larger lakes such as Deep Creek or Lake Anna.

What makes this property unique

Within walking distance to golf clubhouse and the Indian Lake lodge, bar, and restaurant.
