Great Weekend

5 of 5
Submitted: August 22, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
We rented this place for an annual get together of a group of guys who come in from all over the country, and it turned out to be perfect. The location is great - only about an hour from Indy, where most of us live, and also only about a half an hour from the Indy airport for the folks who flew in. Secluded, very private location with great decks, a dock and a firepit, as well as a lake perfect for swimming. It was the little things that really made this place great - lots of dishes and nice appliances, plenty of beds (of 13, only 2 or 3 folks had to sleep on couches) and lots of out door lighting. This house is great for a trip like this and also a family vacation.

Our Stay

This home was absolutely wonderful!!! It was beyond a normal vacation house, it had all the little added touches to make it special and feel like a home away from home. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. It was secluded for privacy and had lots of room outdoors to do many different activities like hiking, boating, fishing, and swimming all without leaving the property! The state park was so close, it was a great find, we did not know it was there till we got there. I think we will be back again!!!

Wonderful location

5 of 5

We spent a long weekend at the Dogwood Guesthouse. This beautiful home is very well equipped and comfortable for even a large group of people. We had 11 people from grandparents down to 11 year olds. All of us enjoyed our stay. Several folks went fishing in the private stocked lake, others went swimming and/or boating, the golf cart was very popular for exploring the many trails, and the fire ring got lots of use in the evening. Although the listing was completely accurate, the property was even nicer than we expected.

There are no words to express what this amazing house gave to my family, but I will try. There were 14 of us in this house and had room for more. The peace, quiet and privacy was perfect for a reunion of the families of 3 sisters in their 80's. All needs were met and satisfied. The men fished (30 some fish caught), the ladies share memories. Fixing meals in the gourmet kitchen was easy as everything needed was there. We just brought the food.The house was clean, well stocked and inviting. The lake created a feeling of peace. The upper deck is ideal for morning coffee or just watching the lake and reading a book. TV with surround sound and pool table on the lower level entertained the younger ones well. Literally,pack just clothes and food, everything else is there! Thank you for such a wonderful home!
Owner's Response: Thank you for the great review. We love to hear back from our guests. Come and visit us again sometime.

This house had everything. My friends and I (5 families) met here for a weekend. Our kids had a blast, and we loved the firepit. You guys really thought of everything. We plan to make it an annual trip.
