Memorable Milestone Birthday

Traveling to get to your destination can be stressful that first day. I found the oversized soak tub an absolute dream to dissipate the tension. The next day, the spa-like shower provided a pampering area for exfoliation as well as a relaxing rain shower to cleanse the mind. The vanity was well lit for facial preparation and the decor and ambience a treat. The rest of our stay was just as enjoyable. The kitchen was a joy to cook in. There were plenty of pots, pans and utensils, all of good quality. The sleeping arrangements accommodated all 9 of us without feeling cramped. The boathouse was a bonus, providing a space for those who wanted late night activity. The pontoon was something that helped make family memories as we enjoyed all that goes with being on the lake. The sunsets were beautiful. And the Bay Area we were located on had countless hours of fun for the kids as they played on the amenities offered. They fished, used the paddle board and paddle boat, and the blue float mat was a huge hit! We will definitely be going back.

Wonderful!

We were so happy with this rental! Very quiet lake. Enjoyed the kayaks, boat rides, swimming, fishing, chickens. So much fun for our family. Also a short drive to new buffalo. Spent a day there during our stay. Would definitely go again. Our kids said it was their best vacation yet!

Attentive host with stocked property

My family loves the Hudson Lake/New Carlisle area and Shari and her son Ryan made sure we had everything we needed, offered helpful suggestions for activities in the area and had a really stocked home complete with chickens. We loved using the paddle boat, the "lily pad", sitting on the very long, sandy beach and playing games on the rainy day. The plus was bringing our pup who had a great time, too. We are already planning next year's trip!

#LakeLife

This was such a lovely getaway! We loved the house, the lake, and the pontoon. It was nice to wake up each day and just head down to the lake. The chickens were an added bonus that we loved having as part of our trip. Shari & Ryan were both great to work with, and easy to get in touch with. There are a few restaurants close by, New Buffalo about a 25 min drive & Michigan City about a 30 min drive. We enjoyed our time & will definitely be back!
