The house was a good stay for a family of four. Two bedrooms, but each parent took a kid and it was fine. Backyard would have been fine for them if it hadn't rained. Tub/shower worked fine for them. Good place to stay.

Great Lakehouse and boat included
We enjoyed this simple yet very comfy 2 bedroom Lakehouse that includes pontoon. On hot days we fished and floated in lovely Flint lake, on rainy days we enjoyed breweries, taphouses, giftshops, and college campus that Valparaiso has to offer. The frontage has a mud bottom so for swimming you want to jump off the pontoon and be comfortable in life jackets or noodles. Boat is in great shape and house AC and wifi were excellent when needed. Kayaks and paddle boards a big hit for my 11 year old twins. Highly recommend this rental for an easy Lakehouse getaway.

Leah's Lakehouse delivers what it promises
Just finished a 9 day stay at Leah's Lakehouse. The VRBO site and pictures accurately represent the property, amenities and condition. It is located on a private lane on beautiful Flint Lake, includes a recent model pontoon boat for lake cruising and is a quiet, relaxing atmosphere just a few minutes from town and local restaurants and businesses. The property owners were pleasant to work with, immediately responded to all communications and questions. You can tell they take great pride in their property and enjoy sharing it with their VRBO customers. Property was clean, well furnished and we enjoyed our time at the lake.

Wonderful trip. Great lake. Fun times on the boat! House is exactly as pictured. The house does have a very unique "lake house" smell but you quit noticing after a few minutes in the house. The owners are super friendly and very accommodating.

Weekend getaway
We had a great time at Leah’s Lakehouse for a weekend getaway! Leah’s rental was clean and suited our family well. The house had games to play when we had rain. We fished and had multiple boat rides on Flint Lake. They even thought of stuff you didn’t bring or forgot! Great people to work with. I would highly recommend this as a rental and we will be back!

Loved Leah's Lakehouse
We spent four relaxing days at Leah's Lakehouse. The hospitality shown by the owners was fantastic. The lake view was perfect and we enjoyed many relaxing boat rides on the well-maintained pontoon boat. A special bonus was listening to and watching the variety of birds each morning while enjoying coffee on the beautiful new deck. But it's not just great outside! Leah has new family room furniture, comfortable new beds, a well-stocked kitchen, and a bunch of games if you are so inclined. We are already planning our next trip to Leah's Lakehouse!
