We take annual extended family vacations. This property 100% met our needs. Beautiful home well taken care of. The lake was amazing. Such a relaxing vacation.
We travel with our dogs which there was a fenced in yard for.
Cory was quick with responses to any questions we had. We will definitely return.

Thank you for allowing us to use your wonderful home. It was perfect for our 3 families! The location was perfect. The proximity to town for shopping and for parks, play and swimming was great. The property was lovely and especially enjoyed family meals on the screened in porch. Having the dock made our boat rental experience so convenient and seamless! Our host was a superb communicator and was quick to take care of the little details. We hope to return soon!
I was not planning to rate the accuracy of the listing as I spoke to Cory about there not being a hot tub but the form will not allow me to leave it blank. He said he has tried to remove the hot tub from the listing a number of times but the VBRO site does not allow him to remove it. We found plenty to do with out the hot tub!

Its a prime location with great access to the water. Perfect for family and has an extra side house for kids...wow.
I hate to leave too good of a review because we don't want to loose our ability to book this again and again!

We've been going to this same property for 5 years and have already booked it for next year. It is just perfect for us in a lot of ways: dock (we rent a pontoon every year), just off the main lake on the main channel behind a beautiful home on the point, we take our dogs, it's a 1 acre island and the dogs can run free, or, there's a fenced back yard, the separate bunk house is clean and fun for teens/singles. We love to watch the boat traffic on the channel late at night. Inside is clean and comfortable with many improvements over the years.

This was our second stay for our family of sixteen ranging in age from 10 - 72. We love all of the bedroom options. Two full bathrooms and a large user friendly kitchen. We also love the privacy of a huge shaded backyard. And lots of parking space right on the island. The channel surrounding the island provides direct access to the lake or to The Channel Marker restaurant. Our family loves to use the provided paddle boards in the channel. We grill a lot of food, and we love it that we are all able to eat in the huge screened in porch.

We had a family of 13, there was plenty of room for all of us. The property was clean and there was plenty of towels and dishes. There were nice chairs to sit in outside for everyone. Cory was very prompt and courteous whenever we had questions.

Room for everyone!
The main lake house and the smaller detached cottage provided just the type of space needed for our group. The outdoor space provided enough room for activities like badminton, Frisbee, and fishing.
The location is perfect as both the lake and the marina are only a 5 min boat ride away and the channel area is fun for kayaking.
The screened in porch off the main house is large and was a great place to sit during the evening hours for conversation and card playing.
The inside space is nicely decorated and up to date. The kitchen is stocked with utensils/plates/bowls/glasses/cups/pots and other kitchen basics.
Cory was very quick to answer any questions that we had and was an attentive host.
We had a great week and recommend this property.

Lakehouse Week With Family and Close Friends
This is our 3rd year in a row going to this property. It is awesome in many ways. It's a 1 acre island and pet friendly so dogs can run free or you they can go into the back yard which is fenced. Easy access to the lake. We always rent a pontoon from Wawasee Boat Co. and it's close and easy to access the rental property dock. The house isn't directly on the main lake, but, it's just behind a beautiful home on the point and a bridge over onto the rented island. Love sitting out by the edge of the water and watching the unique boats come and go.

Large property with plenty of room
We had a great time! Nice location on the channel for easy access to Lake Wawasee. Very clean. Plenty of room for lawn games and multiple families. The only thing that may possibly be difficult for some may be that there isn’t a first floor master bedroom. Very nice great room where we could all gather. Highly recommend!

Great Island house for family gatherings.
We had our family gathering of 17 people here. We had plenty of room to park, play yard games, grill, and enjoy an evening camp fire.
We also enjoyed eating our many meals in the huge screened in porch. And sitting in the yard watching the grandkids paddle board in the channel surrounding the island. We are hoping to stay here again next year.

Nana’s birthday celebration
Lovely trip to our “hometown” to celebrate our Mom’s/grandmother’s/ great grandmother’s 85th birthday! The house and property worked beautifully for us. I would highly recommend this location and hope to stay again!!

Fantastic location, great for dogs!
The property has a gigantic yard that is dog friendly. As it's isolated by a bridge, we were able to let our dog run free around the island. The house had a nice dock for docking our pontoon boat.
The house has some opportunities for additional maintenance and improvements that would make this a 5-star house. Also worth noting it would be a tight squeeze at its full capacity listed online.

amazing memories shared at this wonderful home!
The home and location were more wonderful than we even imagined. Cory was responsive to questions and helped out with a few glitches we experienced. The home was BEAUTIFULLY decorated and stocked with all we could have needed. We enjoyed having the boat docked at the house, the screened porch, firepit, AND what most lake homes don't have, space to play badmitten, frisbee, and other games in the large yard. There was a fenced area for the dogs to run around in and ample parking. One tip, if you bring a boat you can't take it to the house because of a narrow bridge to the island. Call the marina and arrange a spot for your trailer and to put the boat in the water, they were super helpful and friendly. We are still basking in the warm, happy memories we shared with our family here and we are definitely considering a return next year!

Family and Boating Week
Our family rented this property for 5 days. We also rented a pontoon boat from the marina. We were able to dock the pontoon at the property. Lake Wawasee is just around the corner. Easy access and out of the wind. We ate all our meals on the screened in porch. We had an awesome time.

A nice long weekend
We stayed at this property for a long weekend with 4 adults and 4 children. The interior was recently renovated and the decor is beautiful! There is plenty of space and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner. Cory is super friendly, easy to work with, and very responsive. The property is close to the marina, which made it convenient to rent a pontoon with quick and easy access to Lake Wawasee. This is a great property -- we'd stay again!

Another great stay!
We enjoyed our stay again and had another memorable family reunion. We enjoyed the remodeled separate house (although we wish it wasn't under construction when we were there but it was nice to get to know the owners) . Cory, Amber and Pam were on top of all of our needs as the we were the first renters for the season and a few items needed restocked. It is a very special piece of property that we treat like it was our own home. We are looking forward to another stay.

Great spot!
We loved our week at the lake this year. The space is large, open, beautiful and clean. The yard is incredible and so large. The bridge is a bit intimidating at first, but we got used to it. It was really nice being so close to everything. Cory was a great host, incredibly helpful for anything we needed

It was a great space that suited our two families.
The bunkhouse, not pictured, was a bit of a disappointment, not up to standard of big house. There were a few housekeeping issues which were dealt with immediately by the owner. The location is terrific with a lovely neighborhood and trails for walking. Overall a nice stay for us.

Well-Equipped Comfortable Home in Great On-water Location
Cory and Ashlee were great hosts from the reservation process to checking-in and keeping contact during our stay. The home is as described and is on the channel to Lake Wawasee. A boat mooring adequate for a 22-foot pontoon boat was available. The yard is very large, allowing for badminton and other outdoor games. The house is large and very comfortable. It is well-furnished and well-equipped. The A/C worked very well. The beds are quite comfortable. I strongly recommend this property.

A gem on lake Wawasee!
My family and I have a big family reunion every Memorial day and this year we stayed at this wonderfully renovated home on a quiet channel of the lake. After traveling most of the day from Scottsdale, it was so nice to open the door and be greeted with two bottles of wine and bottled water!! There was plenty of room to spread out and the screened in porch was perfect any time of the day. The home is well equipped with towels, linens, kitchen items as well as outside games like bocce ball and volleyball. Cory was attentive if we needed anything. I would highly recommend this vacation rental. Thank you for everything.
