8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
This is a very unique property. There was plenty of beds for our family of 7 adults. It’s secluded but close enough to activities (/- 20 min) to make it convenient. It’s an older home and is showing its age, but we enjoyed looking through the extensive library. Overall, it was a good trip.

This was a perfect place for a group of friends to gather for a long weekend. There was more than enough bedrooms for everyone to have a private space plus more gathering spaces than we could even use! Host provided all the things you need to prepare meals, lots of pans, bowls, and every kind of small appliance and utensils. Communication with the host Erin was excellent. Couldn't have found more perfect place for our gathering.

Host was very accommodating and house was better than expected. Pictures don't do this place justice. This place is very unique and very well decorated. Interesting memorabilia everywhere you look. Definitely feels like home. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your beautiful house. Would definitely stay again.

The Hoosier Lake House accommodated us well for a long weekend with my husband, three grown kids & their spouses & two grandsons & one German Shepherd. We appreciated having enough bedrooms and the extra living space in the basement. The house is well-stocked with supplies and beds were comfortable; however, the lighting, especially in the kitchen is inadequate and only a lantern in the laundry room makes it difficult to use. The view from the main living room is great and we loved the quiet setting. We were disappointed to not have access to the "private beach," which was a main selling point for us when we booked the house. We expected the path to be an "expert hike" and not for kids (as the listing suggests), but we learned the day before our stay that it had not been cleared this summer and we didn't want to risk getting poison ivy. It also took almost 24 hours for the house (excluding the basement) to cool down to 70 degrees, which was not ideal. And the outdoor space was not exactly as pictured; although the Blackstone grill was nice. Would recommend renting a boat for the day from Four Winds - that was a great experience and Fairfax Beach was nice for an afternoon in the sun. Erin was very responsive, even when the power went out (due to a storm) in the early morning hours.
