We enjoyed spending time there making dinner to eat out on the patio. We sat around the firepit in the eve and the kids had a fun time playing in the yard. They loved the hammock and swing. We especially loved the boat! Spent quite a lot of time at the sand bar! Will definitely stay again! ##### Kristen M. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacki J.

Stop your search right here, if you're looking for a relaxing getaway on the water, with a huge yard and all the comforts of home... You found it! Jeff has thought of absolutely everything! We did a last-minute family trip over the 4th of July holiday, which made things a big hectic on my end.... Jeff rolled with all of my questions, made sure we had everything we needed. The pontoon boat rental was a wonderful bonus! This is one of those "memories made here" places that you want to rebook every year for that family get together or perfect getaway. ##### TAMMY B.

Large outdoor sitting areas and huge yard were definitely a plus. We didn’t have to worry about possible rain as the large porch with wet bar was covered. We swam from the dock and played yard games whenever we weren’t out on the lake. Neighbors were friendly and the property manager was amazing. Lots of new upgrades to the house. Highly recommend this property for a laketime getaway. ##### Shannon G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Angela M.

The back yard is huge and flat with nice views, and good fishing! Our grandson caught a mess. This property is well-equipped inside and out, and Jeff and Darla are great people and very accommodating. Having the opportunity to rent their pontoon was a must and much appreciated. Nice boat.

The pictures actually don't do it justice. Jeff met us upon our arrival and gave us a thorough tour of where everything was at, and how to use everything. The inside of the house was newly remodeled, nice and comfortable. We enjoyed the outside covered living area every day, especially on the 1 or 2 days when we had rain. We enjoyed the pontoon for fishing and going to the sandbar, and also for just going on a few boat rides. The lake was very quiet we had the lake almost to ourselves for most of the week. Very relaxing week! ##### Brian R. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### PAUL M. Jul 5, 2016 #### Wonderful Place To Stay!! Our stay on Adams lake was fantastic!! The house is set up perfectly and is a lot larger than the photos show. The bedrooms were large and very comfortable. The kitchen and living room provided ample space to cook and unwind. The entire house has been updated so nicely! The outdoor decks and patio were our favorite places to hang. I logged many peaceful hours in the hammock. The bar has a large Pepsi cooler which came in so handy! We rented a pontoon boat from Jeff the owner and it enabled us to spend lots of time out on the lake. Everything from life jackets to firewood, from dishes to games, from linens to board games was provided. This is a really great property and the owner is a pleasure to deal with. We will definitely be back!! ##### PAUL M.

I'd like to start by saying, the owners, Jeff & Daniela are such wonderful people, so easy going and always responded very quickly. They did everything to make our stay at Adams Lake so perfect and it was so relaxing and peaceful, which was just what we were looking for. Beautiful view of the lake, huge backyard to play games, a firepit to keep you warm on those cool nights under the stars, fishing, boating, swimming....the list goes on and on and that's just the outdoors. The house was perfect and feels just like home with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, a large living room and kitchen along with a huge upper deck and lower patio, we had plenty of space. Our son loved the hammock and all the outdoor activities and we enjoyed just about every meal off the grill eating out on the patio with the lake as our scenery.........absolutely perfect!! Will definitely be back ☺ ##### Lora S.

Six of us stayed in this amazing home for only four nights, but it felt like home right away. Jeff was there when the first two of us arrived and was very welcoming. He even took us out on the pontoon for a short tour of the lake! Everything was as pictured, but even better in person. My son kayaked the lake and the others used the 4 person pontoon paddleboat to check out the sandbar and tool around in the lake. But we also swam right off the dock. The water was perfect! We brought and played croquet on the lawn- the shade was always in the right spot! And so was relaxing on the covered deck AND the outdoor shower! We even had a bonfire during our short stay and really took advantage of everything that was provided. No need to leave for entertainment. The supplies in the house and kitchen were great; we lacked nothing our entire stay. Oh, and the beds were very comfortable! Really we couldn't have asked for anything more. ##### Lyssa H.

Jul 29, 2016 #### Perfect peaceful getaway I was very pleased with this rental. Jeff was very prompt in responding to my questions and checking in ( via text) to make sure our stay was going well. The yard was spacious for kids to play and Jeff had lots of yard games for us to use ( badmittion, croquet sets, corn hole, swing set). The newly remodeled bedrooms worked well to sleep two couples and two children on the bunk beds ( total of 6). I'm not sure how you would sleep ten unless you used the couches and air mattress. There was plenty of seating outside on the bottom deck and the outdoor bar, cooler, shower, and large hammock were hit! We also enjoyed the fire pit and the lake. We didn't rent the pontoon boat so we were only able to travel the lake in the Paddle Boat and kayak provided. We enjoyed both, but it is a long trip to the sandbar at the opposite side of the lake. My kids had fun fishing with their grandpa and caught sunfish, bluegill, and perch. Some were even caught standing from the dock in front of the home. This home was well decorated and conducive to one large family or two families staying at once. There was even a desk and office area for those needing a quiet place to work. The only negative I had was that the swimming area right in front of the property dipped very quickly from about 2 feet to 8 feet. There is no sandy bottom or "safe swim area " so my 11 year old twins wore life jackets the entire time. They were OK with that but it is not conducive to wading and playing in the water as I had imagined. We still had tons of fun on the flotation toys after getting used to the seaweed bottom and deep waters. Overall I loved this rental and would book it again. It was decorated well, made us feel at home, and was very quiet and peaceful. ##### Carisa D.

Sep 6, 2016 #### Great Lake, Good Home, Awful Experience with Homeowner Withholding Deposit Money Had good time while at lake and rented boat from homeowner. But... Upon arrival, I noticed there weren’t any fire alarms (only CO detectors) in the home. When I asked owner, he couldn’t tell me where they were. We purchased battery operated fire alarms for use in Rome City. On July 22, over one month after we departed, the homeowner emailed me that boat owner had to replace the propeller on the boat, accusing me of the damage. The homeowner stated that the boat owner “takes photos before and after of the prop”, and the homeowner said he'd forward them to me. In the interim, the homeowner deducted 37% from my boat deposit. On July 27, I responded that we didn’t damage the propeller and respectfully requested pre and post rental date-stamped pictures of the propeller to prove this damage allegation. The homeowner responded that the pontoon owner “inspects the boat after each rental”. As of September 1, homeowner still has not sent any promised before pictures of the propeller. The owner finally sent 3 pictures ~44 days after rental. The 3 pictures are of a damaged propeller, no indication where the propeller came from or when the pictures were taken. When I questioned the pictures, the owner stated it's “easy to damage props without knowing it” and he could get “copies of the bill...”. The owner has never provided this bill as of September 1. In a August 8 email, the owner adds new things to damage claim: “flag was broken and no \[deposit\] deduction was taken…there were stains in the…rug in the LR which…were not deducted for.” In a August 30, owner mentions “large blue stains…on the towel in the laundry room.” I had VRBO delete my original feedback since it didn’t represent my full rental experience. Of note, the homeowner fully refunded my house deposit. The homeowner replied to my original feedback stating "...thank you for taking such good care of our home!". A testament to how we left the house June 20. As of September 1, homeowner has provided no receipts, no proof of propeller condition before me, no pictures of rug, and no pictures of towel. In August 9 email said “I would rather not tarnish my 100% 5 star reviews…I will refund you \[all deposit\] out of my own pocket…IF you agree to not post any review...”. I still don't have my full boat deposit back. Lastly, be proactive. Check for working fire alarms. Photograph pre-rental conditions of everything to avoid a repeat of my experience. ##### Aaron F. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer D.

The outdoor space was really nice - both covered and uncovered patio, cornhole, and great fire pit. The lake was very beautiful and relaxing. Before 10a and after 6p everyday the lake becomes a 10pm lake which makes it extremely enjoyable. The A/C inside the house was dual zone, great and much needed! Large fully stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. We would definitely stay here again. ##### Jennifer D. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve M.

Ran into a couple snags but Jeff and Darla were super responsive and corrected the issue! Very comfortable place, great view and most importantly we were able to spend time with family all in one place!! Adams Lake is a beautiful lake and would highly recommend renting on this lake! ##### Kris E. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Paige H. Nov 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Still waiting on return of boat security deposit two months later Booked our family vacation for mid August. Host listed the availability of a pontoon rental, which my parents did separately. Agreement stated a $400 security deposit (less gas used) would be returned 2 weeks after rental. They have attempted contacting host via phone at least 5-10 times (no voicemail set up), text, and messaging thru VRBO site 3 times and no response except the first time which was over a month ago, that he needed to look into it. He has been completely unresponsive. ##### Paige H. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca R.

Jeff's place was a perfect spot for our home base for this trip. The inside is updated and comfortable. Towels and linens were plentiful and clean. The beds and bedrooms spacious and comfortable. We found the yard and decks to be great spots to hang out and relax while taking in the view of the lake. We enjoyed the fire pit at night as well. A bonus was the proximity to Adam's Lake Pub, which serves top notch food (steaks, scallops, prime rib) and provides exceptional, friendly service. Jeff's cabin will definitely be our choice when we make a return trip to Indiana. ##### Andy C.
