The house has lots of space and has all the amenities required. My only down side if the WiFi, as I had to work the entire week, the connection dropped almost every day, but who rents this house for working the entire week??? ##### Carl Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vanessa Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Great experience My stay was great. The weather was cold so we did not get to do any outside activities on the lake. The windows looked out at the lake and it was so relaxing. There was plenty of room inside for all 5 of my kids. ##### Vanessa Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Goshen](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Bend-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Goshen.h34754419.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Desert Springs Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Palm-Springs-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Desert-Springs-Resort-Spa.h17123.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Fair Oaks Farms](https://www.expedia.ca/Fair-Oaks-Hotels-Fairfield-Inn-Suites-By-Marriott-Fair-Oaks-Farms.h31833454.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Gas City](https://www.expedia.ca/Marion-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Gas-City.h84381.Hotel-Information) > > [Inn at DePauw](https://www.expedia.ca/Terre-Haute-Hotels-Inn-At-DePauw.h28799569.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place South Bend / Mishawaka](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Bend-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-South-Bend-Mishawaka.h2156298.Hotel-Information) > > [Salt Creek Golf Retreat](https://www.expedia.ca/Columbus-Hotels-Salt-Creek-Golf-Retreat.h15411499.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Portage, IN](https://www.expedia.ca/Portage-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1522875.Hotel-Information) > > [Tulalip Resort Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Everett-Hotels-Tulalip-Resort-Casino.h2161524.Hotel-Information) > > [Quality Inn and Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-Quality-Inn-And-Conference-Center.h25869.Hotel-Information) > > [Muncie Place Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Muncie-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hotel-Suites-Muncie.h67438.Hotel-Information) > > [Super 8 by Wyndham Gas City Marion Area](https://www.expedia.ca/Marion-Hotels-Super-8-By-Wyndham-Gas-City-Marion-Area.h317042.Hotel-Information) > > [Econo Lodge Elkhart North](https://www.expedia.ca/South-Bend-Hotels-Econo-Lodge-Elkhart.h23376.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakefront Home on Crooked Lake, Beautiful Views and Plenty of Space and Hot Tub!](https://www.expedia.ca/Angola-Hotels-You-Just-Found-Tranquility-In-2020.h60343393.Hotel-Information) > > [Waterbird Lakeside Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chesterton-Hotels-Waterbird-Lakeside-Inn.h2449990.Hotel-Information) > > [GORGEOUS!!!
