Making Memories on Lake Manitou

PollyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Great place to host big family on the lake. The deck is fabulous, the kids had fun on the water trampoline and the upstairs bedrooms were really nice. A little wear and tear on the main floor, but to be expected at a lake house.

The Main Lake House

JeremyRating, 5 stars10 months ago

Great place on the lake. Brought our family of 5 and rotated a friend or two throughout the week. Brought our boat and 2 jet skis and the hosts were very helpful with ideas to keep them safely docked out on the water. Lots of space at the house for everyone to hang out together or in pockets. Plenty of room in the garage for all of our gear too. Hope to come back every year.

Great room w private bathroom close to Purdue

ColleenRating, 5 stars7 months ago

Alejandra's place is an amazing value, especially given I booked the room with a private bathroom and it's is so close to campus and lots of restaurants. The hosts were very responsive and professional - they definitely treat hosting like the business that it is. I also think they do a great job managing expectations so you understand beforehand that the apartment complex where the rental is located is very much in need of repair. Overall, a great stay!

Tranquil Lake Cottage

LaurenRating, 5 stars10 months ago

Amy is a fantastic host and her home is amazing and VERY CLEAN! She’s thought of every detail. All of the outdoor spaces are beautiful with plenty of seating. We loved having multiple decks to hangout on. Most of the beds were very comfortable (the bunk beds are good for kids but not great for adults). The pullout in the living room was surprisingly comfortable! The layout of the house is lovely, inviting, and the kitchen is huge with a large island. Definitely recommend booking if you’re looking for a relaxing stay.
