We’d stay here again, and very well may, in the future. There’s a couple things we weren’t super thrilled about, though: loft floors were super creaky and loud, disturbing those below when sleeping. Also, the showers in the loft and guest house have really low heads, so those who used them had to duck down. Much of the house facilities are dated and could use an update and/or repair. That being said, the overall feel is good. We were happy to be able to bring our dog with us, and the yard is basically fenced off. Yard is nice with channel front accessibility. The home is decorated nicely, was clean and comfortable, and plenty of parking. Overall recommend.
Our family of 10 stayed here for the week and it was PERFECT! Communication was easy with the owners and Evolve. The house was a perfect fit for us. The deck is large and allowed all of us to enjoy our evenings out on it. There is also a fire pit which worked out well for s’mores!! We will be back! Thanks to our hosts for being so welcoming!!!

My family and I had the best time at this home! Our hosts were quickly responsive and very helpful! The house is exactly as described. The fire pit and deck were AMAZING! We rented the boat and it was an easy 5 minutes to the sand bar where we spent most of our days. There were some toys and coloring books for our grandson which were a nice surprise. We created so many wonderful memories here and will definitely be returning!
Would like to communicate with owner about some issues that could be greatly improved. There were two main issues: the sliding door to the patio was broken, it fell out one time while we playing cards. Had the table been a bit closer to the door, the large door would have fallen on someone’s head. Very dangerous. The bathroom in the above garage bedroom is unacceptable. The lake was wonderful, location very good, dock good. Also, the rug by the back door was curling so bad, we almost tripped over it. All the bathrooms needed some upgrading, more towels needed. The outside furniture needs replaced, flower bed needs attention. Musty odor in garage bedroom, which could also use a comfortable chair. The kitchen was well stocked and the hot water tap was very convenient. The beds were comfortable, nice large TV in great room. Stairs to garage basement were sturdy. We would definitely consider coming back if patio doors were replaced and garage bedroom/bathroom were fixed.

From the owner: "Thank you for the review! We appreciate the feedback. The concern regarding the sliding doors has been noted and we're in the process of replacing them, but they are on back order due to their large size and construction. The storm panels that fell out have been removed. All of your suggested improvements have been addressed. Feel free to reach out if and when you plan your next visit to Lake Wawasee!"
Just what our 10 PAX/2 family group needed. 3 full baths. 2 spacious adult rooms. Plenty of areas for 6 kiddos to sleep and play. Add the lengthy/bumpered dock in protected canal and you have the perfect spot for boats and wave runners. Thx for a great week!
