The hospitality shown by the owners was fantastic. The lake view was perfect and we enjoyed many relaxing boat rides on the well-maintained pontoon boat. A special bonus was listening to and watching the variety of birds each morning while enjoying coffee on the beautiful new deck. But it's not just great outside! Leah has new family room furniture, comfortable new beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and a bunch of games if you are so inclined. We are already planning our next trip to Leah's Lakehouse! ##### Rick R.

The VRBO site and pictures accurately represent the property, amenities and condition. It is located on a private lane on beautiful Flint Lake, includes a recent model pontoon boat for lake cruising and is a quiet, relaxing atmosphere just a few minutes from town and local restaurants and businesses. The property owners were pleasant to work with, immediately responded to all communications and questions. You can tell they take great pride in their property and enjoy sharing it with their VRBO customers. Property was clean, well furnished and we enjoyed our time at the lake. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 9 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt G. Jul 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Lakehouse and boat included We enjoyed this simple yet very comfy 2 bedroom Lakehouse that includes pontoon. On hot days we fished and floated in lovely Flint lake, on rainy days we enjoyed breweries, taphouses, giftshops, and college campus that Valparaiso has to offer. The frontage has a mud bottom so for swimming you want to jump off the pontoon and be comfortable in life jackets or noodles. Boat is in great shape and house AC and wifi were excellent when needed. Kayaks and paddle boards a big hit for my 11 year old twins. Highly recommend this rental for an easy Lakehouse getaway. ##### Matt G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Courtney L., Dunlap, IL. Sep 24, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in Disliked: Communication #### Summer Weekend The property was clean, the check in process was very smooth. The kitchen has very limited pots and pans, so if you are going to be cooking rather than grilling you may want to bring some pans/cookie sheets, etc. The lake was much smaller than we expected. It was a nice weekend, very quiet neighborhood and lake. The owner told us the neighbors on both sides did not like them, due to the fact it is the only house on the lake people can rent through a vacation rental site.....which made us uncomfortable. The price of the property was not worth the stay. I would not go back. ##### Courtney L.

Sleeping 6 is a bit of a stretch in the 2 full beds & couch pull-out. We had 5 adults by adding 2 air mattresses. Boat is a big plus & fishing lake is quiet, calm & easy for novice boaters. House was clean & well-stocked. Gave 4 stars on cleanliness. Wanted windows opened for fresh air, but windows were full of old leaves & debris. Outdoor furniture needed wiping down prior to use. Boat also needed a good vacuuming/cleaning. Otherwise no complaints. Leah & her father Kirk very helpful with early check in & boat instructions. ##### Jeanine M.

If you are looking for a lake house I highly recommend. I took my fiancé here for his birthday for the weekend and it was perfect. ##### zainab f.
