Great space for a family Thanksgiving
This place met and exceeded our expectations for our family Thanksgiving get together. We had 8 of us total staying ranging from 8-75 and everyone just loved the house. The highlights: The Wifi is fast - you don't usually see that in a rural setting. The ping pong table and foosball table where big hits with all ages. The porch was a great space to enjoy some coffee and reflect while looking out at the lake. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Did I mention the lovely welcome basket that was left for us - amazing! All in all, we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Virginia couldn't have been any more accommodating and I can't recommend her and the property enough.

The amount of space is wonderful and the property was gorgeous. It's tucked away a bit but I think that's the charm. Wonderful for a weekend getaway! Thank you to the owners for making the stay easy.

Perfect for a small family gathering
We picked the location so some of the family could attend the Ohio State v Notre Dame football game. We had fans from both sides in the family. No tension though 😀 My daughter and I enjoyed a quiet evening binging a murder mystery on our prime video account which we had no problem connecting to. Kitchen had everything needed. The lake house was very clean and had lots of room to gather or get away from each other. My sister in law is moving to Australia and gave us boxes of old photos and memorabilia which we looked through while sitting in the screened in porch with a great view of the swans in the lake. We will all have good memories of our stay.

Excellent all around.
The house is much bigger and nicer than the pictures show. The bedrooms are very roomy, but the common areas are HUGE! And it's very clean. The porch with the coffee spot was a big hit with our family. And the downstairs bar was cool (we stayed the weekend Jimmy Buffet passed, so the neon "It's 5:00 somewhere" sign was very fitting). Downstairs has a foosball table and a large collection of board games. There's also a full laundry room with utility sink and even a sewing kit. The ping pong table in the garage was also a hit. The kitchen is very well-equipped with tools and pots/pans that are much nicer than other places we have stayed. And there are so many activities for the kids that they didn't even want to watch the giant TVs except when it rained. Paddle boat, kayaks, giant lily pad. The dock was nice for fishing...there's a lot bass along the shore in this lake. There was a tournament the weekend we were there, and the fisherman hit their limit and were using scales to release their lightest catch just a few hours in. They used a lot of frog lures. But no big motors, so was still relaxing. We are trying to figure out when we can make it up again. This place is a hidden gem!

Lakeside getaway
This house is right on the lake with great windows facing it. The house was very clean and well equipped. It must be a good lake for fishing as each day there were several determined fisherman trying their luck. Our group, two retired couples, spent four days reading, binging movies, and reading. It is a good place to relax.

Great space for wedding guests
One of our friends got married this past weekend at the Wooded Knot and since a lot of us were coming from out of state we needed a place to stay. Large enough space for us all to spread out. Loved the sun room and was able to open the windows and read a book one morning. Loved the coffee nook and the space had everything we needed. One suggestion would be to upgrade the mattresses in the bunk bed room. The middle of the mattress is a caved in on the bottom bunk and it felt like I kept rolling to the middle. My friends staying up in the beds upstairs said the mattresses were super firm. Also, bugs were pretty bad even in April because the water is a bit stagnant by the dock, maybe some type of water feature to keep the water flowing? Because of this, we didn't go outside like we had hoped. Also, the house has obviously been renovated and looks great but some of the houses in the neighborhood are a bit run down. Regardless, we had a wonderful stay and I would recommend to anyone needing a place to stay in the area.

Exactly what we needed!
The rental was immaculate! Excellent accommodations, and exactly what our mixed group of friends needed for a long weekend. Beautiful lake, kayaks and paddleboat available for use. Very peaceful and we enjoyed the firepit. We did not cook anything but the kitchen was very well stocked. Virginia kept amazing communication through the whole visit and we hope this property is available for future visits! Thank you Virginia & Ben for sharing your little slice of Indiana paradise with us!
