Great space and location

This house was perfect for our extended family, and is on a smaller canal off the main body. The rooms are well appointed and house is spacious. The outdoor living area was perfect and the large island in the kitchen made a great central point for everyone to come together. I highly recommend, if you are looking for a place on the lake in Tool!

Great House for Thanksgiving!!!

The host very friendly and prompt to all of request. He came over to introduce himself and made we were comfortable. The only thing that was missing was TV’s in the guest’s rooms other than that my family had a great time gathering in the media room for movie nights. The kitchen was my mother’s dream kitchen. It had everything you needing to host guest. We will be back for future stays.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Duncanson

Host profile image
I grew up in Northwest Indiana and went to Purdue University and received a BSEE degree. I had a world renowned Software Company and tend to over do everything I do. The home you are staying in was built as if I was going to live there. My wife and I tried to make the most comfortable enjoyable environment to stay at the lake. We are always open to suggestions to make it better. We live right down the street and are always available to resolve any issues. If you have questions that are not addressed in the guest book, please feel free to call us.

Why they chose this property

Because it is a great neighborhood and we live down the street. Very quiet and great neighbors with tree covered streets make walks, golf cart rides, or bike rides a great time.

What makes this property unique

Smart home with a great back porch with catwalk to large deck. Grill with a rotisserie and an outdoor fridge makes it nice to have cold drinks on porch and deck & dock. Fishing pole holders are built into dock. There is a large ice machine in the bar by the living room that makes the stay more enjoyable. Be sure to try out tge steam sauna in the master bath. Enjoy the 71” soaking tub in the master too. Media room makes watching a movie or a game enjoyable after a long day at the lake.
