After our main summer vacation plans got derailed by a medical situation we put together a quick stay in Northern Indiana. I was able to take my daughter to the outlet malls, my teen son to Valpo U for for a college visit, watched movies,my husband got to fish off the dock with my son, and those were just the rainy days. We also had a great visit up to Indiana Beach which was surprisingly decent. Sand, waves, refreshingly cool but not frigid water , nice breeze, and water views all the way up to the horizon. This house was phenomenal. Plenty of room and plenty of rooms to be together or avoid each other. Any family with teens will know both are important. Pretty views of Pine lake . The ping pong and pool table were both enjoyed, as was the paddleboat. I'd have liked more time out on Pine lake with the kayaks (my daughter demanded we return because she saw a spider in her kayak. Had we taken the time to hose out the kayaks before going out on the lake this would have been a non-issue ) The house had good water pressure in the showers. Having just learned on a recent trip how enjoyable a proper Finnish sauna (dry heat! ) I really enjoyed the in-house sauna. NO one else was game to try it, but that might have made it even better! Kroger and all stores within 10 minutes. The only thing I found slightly odd was that there were no dishrags/dishtowels, only paper towels. All my questions were answered promptly by Sergei. Would love to come back with more family/cousins
