You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Luxury Living On The Lake

Welcome to our home. We are located on the highest point of the Pine Lake Peninsula. Our home is equipped with a beautiful front deck with a wonderful view of the lake.

Inside you will find a comfortable, relaxing living room with a large window to look out onto the lake and a gas fireplace. The kitchen has wonderful stainless steel appliances. Our back deck has seating for four as well as a gas grill for cooking out. On the main floor you will also find the office and one of the three bedrooms. This bedroom has a Queen sized bed, plenty of dresser and closet space for all your clothes, and more beautiful views of the lake.

Upstairs are the Master and Guest bedrooms. In the Master bedroom, you will find a spacious King size bed, 52" LG HDTV with a ROKU attached for access to Plex, Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube. There is also a Queen size sleeper sofa for extra guests. The Master bathroom features both a Jacuzzi tub and an overhead rainfall shower head.

The upstairs Guest bedroom features two Queen size beds, a large amount of storage in dressers and closets for all of your clothes and belongings, and another balcony with seating for two and more beautiful views of the lake.

In the basement, you will find comfortable rocker recliner seating for eight and a 65" LG Smart TV with Plex, Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube.

The front door has keypad entry, so there is no risk of locking yourself out, and you can arrive at any time without having to plan to pick up the house keys.

Finally, there is a shared dock that can be used if you rent a boat. Pine Lake is wonderful for swimming, boating, fishing, all types of water sports, and of course, relaxing in the sun. If interested, please be sure to let us know ahead of your stay so that we can ensure the space is open and available.

We rented the house for a ND football weekend. We enjoy staying in LaPorte so the house was in an ideal spot. The house was very clean and the host had left a generous amount of snacks, food and drinks for us. Thank you Jeremiah!

Great weekend get away!

I don’t feel like this listing does this house justice! Really nice house and neighborhood! The kids loved the snacks provided which was very thoughtful. As well as the bottled water and all the other thoughtful touches! The water was very hard water, so if you’re not used to that, it would be alarming. The patio furniture looked like it could use a cover so it was more suitable to sit on and enjoy. Also we couldn’t get the gas grill to work. However, overall we loved the house! It was a perfect stay close to Michigan city and we loved the town of laport!

Spacious house on lake

We really enjoyed our stay. The upstairs bedrooms are very large. The kitchen is modern. The basement has a huge media room with four luxury couches and a big-screen TV. The house is right on the lake and the shared dock is nearby. We really enjoyed taking walks at night along the peninsula. Be aware that the house is on a small rise and there is a climb up stairs to either the front or the back (which is less steep). Only issue was the cleanliness of the front porch. It had not been cleaned for awhile and the cushions were very dirty (in fact when I moved two of the chairs, beetles scurried out).

Lake House

We really enjoyed our stay at this house on the Lake. The home had all the amenities we needed and updated appliances. There were lots of little extras such as life vests, snacks, and toiletries which were much appreciated. Communication was good and any questions I had were answered promptly. There is a boat dock just across the street shared by 4 of the homeowners. The neighbors were very nice and we did a boat tour with Todd and stopped at a nice spot where the kids could swim. The only issue was the water has a strong metallic taste so we used bottled water for brushing teeth, making coffee, and cooking. Some visible rusting possibly from high iron content. Overall though we would love to go back for another visit.

Property is Neglected; Photos Totally Inaccurate

We arrived at the home and immediately saw that the outside living space and yard were totally overgrown and neglected. It looked as though nobody had been there in quite some time. The hammock frame was completely busted in two and laying on the deck. To me, it looked like possible dry rot, like the decking was starting to show. Two of the patio chairs were broken and all of the cushions and pillows were so filthy that we didn't even want to sit on them. All three decks were a mess. It looked NOTHING like the photos the owner posted. The other decks and furniture off of the two upstairs bedrooms were filthy and thus, we did not use either of them. There was a hamper full of dirty bath towels and only 4 bath towels that were clean for our use for 6 days. There were dirty washcloths hanging over both sinks that were actually stiff. The smoke detectors were removed from the entire first floor with wires dangling. The owner did not rectify this safety issue even after I texted him. He did send maintenance out to replace the hammock and cushions on the one deck the next day. We found one partial roll of toilet paper in one of the bathrooms, but none in the other. The home was not technically supposed to be rented out on the island. We thought it was strange we were to put all of the garbage in the recycling bin because the owner had a "tiff" with the trash collecting company. The basement is so damp we did not use it, which was a shame because if it had not been for the stained carpet and the mildew smell, it would have been nice to watch a movie down there. There is no Keurig machine nor any pans for the oven, not even a pizza pan to bake on. At one time, I think this home was better taken care of. It has potential, but as the neglect continues, that will diminish. The home is also for sale, so there is that as well. I should have listened to the prior reviewer that did not end up staying there, but I hoped the photos were accurate depictions, but they clearly were not. The most disappointed I've ever been at any VRBO's we've stayed at, and not cheap, all things considered.

Pictures of the property don't match current conditions

We did not stay due to the condition of the property. Both yard and house have not been well maintained. The flower beds are full of weeds. The outdoor furniture is old and dirty. Inside, the owner needs to pay more attention to the cleanliness of his house. If zero was a star option, I would select that.

“We loved it, wonderful owners and beautiful location”

Let me start off by saying this was our family first time using HomeAway for property rental. We found the property owners to be friendly and very accommodating. Their property was in excellent condition, beautifully furnished, very clean with an awesome morning sunrise. We will definitely like to stay here again. Our family highly recommends anyone looking for a Lake Rental or great place to get away for a weekend; I recommend staying at their location.
