We like the property but the pontoon made our trip excellent,communication was great also
4.8
We had a great time at the lake house! Leah was accommodating to an early and lake check out allowing us to use the boat even longer. The bed was very comfortable. I would come again!
4.8
Perfect home on a lake for a quite/chill stay. 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.
4.8
The use of the boat, kayaks, and paddleboards were great. Just what we were looking for on this mini family getaway.
4.8
From communication to accommodations it was tops. Weather was rough for 1 of the days , however, the house was so comfortable it wasn’t a bother. I would recommend this listing for anyone who would like a place to gather with family or friends.
4.8
The house was a good stay for a family of four. Two bedrooms, but each parent took a kid and it was fine. Backyard would have been fine for them if it hadn't rained. Tub/shower worked fine for them. Good place to stay.
4.8
Loved the Lakehouse with the pontoon boat , fire pit and nice little quiet lake , we will be back !
4.8
Leah’s Lake house was a wonderful retreat, pontoon boat and all. The property is exactly as described and exceeded our expectations. The lake is peaceful and a perfect place to stay while enjoying the sites in and around Valparaiso.
4.8
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.

Just finished a 9 day stay at Leah's Lakehouse. 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.
4.8
We like to be outside so a patio umbrella or over hang area would be great.
4.8
Wonderful trip. Great lake. Fun times on the boat! House is exactly as pictured. The house does have a very unique "lake house" smell but you quit noticing after a few minutes in the house. The owners are super friendly and very accommodating.
4.8
What a nice little corner of paradise in Valpo!

We had a great time at Leah’s Lakehouse for a weekend getaway! Leah’s rental was clean and suited our family well. The house had games to play when we had rain. We fished and had multiple boat rides on Flint Lake. They even thought of stuff you didn’t bring or forgot! Great people to work with. I would highly recommend this as a rental and we will be back!

Property was great for our family to gather and enjoy visiting with one and other. Everyone enjoyed the kayaks and pontoon boat. Weather was perfect for sitting outdoors.
4.8
We spent four relaxing days at Leah's Lakehouse. 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!

Our family really enjoyed our stay at the lakehouse! Everything was perfect! There was not a dull moment with everything included- the kayaks & boat were a great time!! We hope to come back soon!

We had a wonderful week on Flint Lake, the cottage is perfect, right on the water.
It is stocked with everything imaginable. They definitely take pride with the decor & cleanliness.
The big bonus is the newer pontoon boat, was nice cruising around the lake after dinner. We will be back.

My family enjoyed the lake house and all it had to offer. It was well stocked and of course my kids especially loved all the outdoor amenities (boat, kayaks, paddle boards!) great labor day weekend trip!

Took 4 of our grandkids ages 11-12 for annual trip. This was the perfect place for outdoor active kids! Very nice pontoon, kayakes, paddle boards, fishing boat (oars) on a nice peaceful quiet lake. Non stop fun with lots of great memories made. Enough so that the kids want to return next year!! Kirk was prompt, friendly and a great host. Bill/ Marthe Keim

Perfect getaway!
We had a great time at Leah’s Lakehouse. We really enjoyed having access to all the water toys, being able to walk out to the pier and fish at anytime. The fishing at the pier was great in the evenings. The kids didn’t get bored (ages 12 & 16) even though the area was quiet and low key. The location is great, close to other things to do as well. We took an evening and drove to Chicago to catch a White Sox game, visited Albanese Candy Factory, went to the outlets in Michigan City. Leah and her dad are very responsive to questions etc. overall great stay and would stay again.

The accommodations were very good but the lake was a disappointment.
The process was good.
4.8
Great
4.8
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.

A beautiful location with a quiet and peaceful spot on the lake. Fun with kayaking and paddle boarding as well as sunset cruise on your own pontoon boat. A wonderful respite for our group after spending the days at Indiana Dunes NP.

The house was the perfect size for my niece and me and the neighborhood was so quiet and peaceful! My only suggestion for this house would be to add a ceiling fan in the second bedroom. It got quite warm when the door was closed (for sleeping). It seems to have an air return duct but not a separate duct for the air conditioning feed. But definitely not a deterant to renting. Thank you for an amazing mini-vacation!
