It’s was the perfect place to spend a long weekend with our children and grandchildren!
AMAZING BEAUTIFUL COMFORTABLE
so many special little touches to make our stay like home ! HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!
This house was perfect, the indoor pool took it to another level. House was clean and communication with host was flawless, she messaged me right after I booked and checked to be sure we had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend and stay again
This house was great for our extended family of all ages- 5 to 75! Sue was very responsive and helpful during our stay. We loved the pool, game room and the size of the property; would definitely stay again!
Best rental for a diverse group, something for everyone
The kids really enjoyed the pool, they will be wanting to go back again, it was actually warm enough for me too, that’s a first! There is so much to do in the area, a long weekend wasn’t enough!
Our extended family was in the area for aFuneral. The home worked out great with the kids room as well as so many king beds. The kitchen has everything you could ever want. We were very comfortable.
Communication with the host was excellent. We have 3 generations staying here for Thanksgiving (86 to 18 months). This home worked out so well. Lots of game playing, swimming and walks in a very nice neighborhood.
Allowing the dog's was a great bonus

Loved the location and the indoor pool. We spent a lot of time in the pool and appreciated the use of pool items. Felt that it needed some maintenance especially in the kitchen.
Thank you so much for sharing your home with us! We had 3 generations of family staying and everyone had space to enjoy and create memories together. Everyone loved the pool and game room and the welcome donuts were such a kind touch. The kids loved all the toys and special space in their room.
Our group consisted of ten people age 2 to 86 and two dogs. We had a wonderful, relaxing time! There was plenty of room for us all to be comfortable. We really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and our pool time. Thank you for the precious family memories together.
It's hard to appreciate exactly how beautiful this home is until you've been there.
The street is quiet and lovely, the kids loved the indoor pool and arcade, and it was convenient to Vermilion. If you're looking for a multi-family getaway close to the lake, look no further. This is it.
We loved our time in this house. The pool area is so great and the pool is huge. The kitchen is fully stocked. The bedrooms accommodated our three family group easily. Host was always available though we had no issues. We will def be back!!!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The home was clean, large and well equipped to fill our needs. The welcome goodie basket was a delightful surprise! Having a bathroom right next to the pool area was great. No dripping all the way through the home. All 8 of us enjoyed our stay.
The house was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The pool was awesome and the kids’ favorite thing by far. We spent a lot of time in the game room as well. Susan was very communicative and there were no surprises. Vermillion is a neat area with a pretty interesting downtown. We definitely recommend staying here!
The house is located in a nice neighborhood and has all the amenities anyone could ask for. The indoor pool was a huge hit and the property couldn’t have been better. The downtown area was not far away and we had an absolute blast
Went there for a weekend getaway w just our kids and grandkids and this was a perfect place to reconnect and focus on our family. Could not recommend this place more. The host, Sue, was outstanding in not only communication with us but also in making sure there was everything we needed. Thank you again and look forward to the next time.
We rented Sue’s place to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary with just her 2 daughters, their husbands and their 4 grand children … the bonus was our furry family too. The kids obviously loved the pool and the game room, but we just all loved having space to be together and relax. Sue is a real professional and was so helpful. We appreciate her and would recommend. Happy New Year!
P.S. my niece wanted me to say the little closet cubby was her favorite.
Another absolutely amazing stay. Susan made us feel so welcome with so many personal touches. We were greeted with a basket specific for our family with so many fun goodies for both kids and adults. She had made sure we had tons of kid related craft options, including crayons, markers, notebooks, baby toys for our little ones, fun extra snacks including s’more packet. It was like Christmas in August and it made our stay so special. The house is gorgeous, well stocked with paper products. Rooms clean and the pool is the best ever. Also stocked with toys the kids could play with in the pool. Game room is epic.
Susan has a heart for family, best host ever.
Thank you

This was our second time staying at this amazing home. The number one reason to go is Sue, she is an amazing hostess. Communication is tops, always available to help in any way. She has a heart for families and wants to make sure it is magical for family memories.
The house is very nice, clean, well-stocked with TP, paper towels and all the kitchen utensils you will ever need. All the bedrooms are lovely, very comfortable beds. Several areas to congregate. The pool is perfect, stocked with tons of swimming noodles, floats, you name it. I think our kids enjoyed picking through all the toys as much as swimming. Tons of towels, both for the pool and in each room. The laundry room has great washer/dryer and stocked with laundry detergent. Ohhhh also you are greeted with the best welcome basket full of goodies.
We also love the location, Vermilion is such a unique town on the coast, we love all the local restaurants, the beach, all the stores. Thank you for giving us this gorgeous worry-free time in your beautiful home.
