Beautiful Waterfront Home on Baugo Bay

Beautiful River 3-4 bedroom house over looking Baugo Bay on the St Joesph river, only 10 miles from Notre Dame Campus. Takes 18 minutes to get there, we worked there 10 years! It really doesn't get any better than this, the breath taking view is amazing from inside the house or outside on one of the 5 decks. There are places to sleep everywhere and plenty of full bathrooms. The house also is handicap accessible. If you want to play, you can swim right off the pier or relax in the hot tub. We also have games, Pool table, corn hole, darts, Wii, X-box, and there are TV's everywhere. Equipped for more fun than you will have time to enjoy and built for comfort when you just can't play anymore.

Beautiful Views

The views from the decks are beautiful. The house does sleep 10 but there are not 4 bedrooms; really only 2. We ended up renting a boat on a different lake because the St Joseph River is not good for a novice boat driver, plus the boat at the house was not operating. Hot tub was great but there is no fire pit. All in all we had a nice peaceful time with family and enjoyed the sunset.

Some concerns, but net positive

One of the things to consider is that although this listing states 2 queen beds, that may not necessarily be true. One of the queen beds was locked in a room, and the renter stated we weren’t allowed to use it. Instead we had one queen bed in a room, the two twin beds, the full futon, and one air mattress. This made it difficult for us to coordinate sleeping as we had 10 people which this listing states we can accommodate, but only if some people sleep on the couch. Additionally, we were there for the weekend and brought a lot of food. The renter had his fridge half full with food already making it difficult to place what we brought. We made it work. But it would be better if he had a separate fridge where he places his belongings when guests are there. We couldn’t find the garbage can in the beginning, but after messaging him he quickly told us where it was. He was very responsive. Otherwise, the place was very clean, and was stocked with dinner plates and utensils. The sunsets were beautiful and they had a great patio that had gorgeous flowers.

Beautiful view!

Gregg’s place was so comfortable and homey and peaceful for a get together of sisters and friends to celebrate my sister who is getting married this month. We had several people coming from different directions, and there was plenty of parking space. The view from the decks was one of our favorite parts, but the hot tub, ample outdoor spaces and seating, comfy living room, comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen were very appreciated and enjoyed as well. Everything was set up and ready for our arrival, with plenty of towels, extra blankets and even fans for the bedrooms. This place did not disappoint!!

Awesome stay for large groups!

We rented Gregg’s spot for a 30th birthday party and had an awesome time. Gregg was very responsive and communicative host, and the space was more than enough for 10 sleeping over and up to 14 coming over during the day. The varied levels of rooms and decks provided lots of different environments for people to hang out in. It was a very food heavy weekend, so the propane and grill were lifesavers, although we did have some issues with the oven so keep that in mind. It was also helpful that we brought blow up mattresses as there were 4 beds and the rest of the sleeping area were couches. Overall a ton to do and a perfect weekend!

Family getaway

Gregg, the property owner was super friendly and very easy to work with! Property was expected as listed! There were 7 of us and there was plenty of beds and sleeping options available-he even set out an extra air mattress which did help! Beds were super comfortable. View was beautiful. Home had what we needed for our stay. We griled one night. Went out one night. Went to local winery. Relaxed in hot tub. Fished and overall enjoyed the entire home. Shopping close by and neighbors were super friendly as well! Would definitely recommend this home!

Gem in Indiana

We were looking for a waterfront property anywhere. We then found this gem. It is homey and clean. The views are awesome. It is on Baugo Bay on the St Joesph river, because you are in a bay you feel like you are on a lake, bonus! Minimal current, you can safely swim/jump off the dock. So fun! Greg, owner, provides flotation devices you can tie to the dock, allowing you to float and enjoy the wake from boats going by. Noted many pontoons in the area. There are multiple riverfront balconies in this house, with the BEST VIEWS! Can I mention the views again, lol. Host provides everything you need and is readily available if you need him. Neighborhood is quiet. You can find essentials in the area nearby, like grocery stores, coffee shops and restaurants. There is a nearby state park and about 15-20 minutes from the Campus of Notre Dame. Do not hesitate to rent this gem. Will definitely rent again. Thanks Greg for your great hospitality!

Great summer weekend escape!

Surprised my husband for his 33rd birthday and booked this place for him & our friends :-) the House was beautiful- much nicer than the pictures! Loved all the outdoor space, breakfast looking out over the water. We ended up renting kayaks and canoes from the state park and we’re able to paddle to the house, have lunch & drinks then paddle back! Thanks for a perfect summer weekend!

I enjoyed our stay. The host was amazing at communicating and often went above and beyond. Place was clean and prepped for our group when we walked in on a hot summer day. If you like sunsets, relaxing on the deck/patio, and a good pool table, this is a good spot for you.
