Nice place for a getaway

We had a group of 9 adults for a long weekend and this house was great. There is lots of room to spread out if you wanted quiet time and great space to come together for meals and trash talking. We especially enjoyed the deck area. Thank you again!

Quite Cozy Relaxing House on the Lake

House was large enough for all of us and is very kid friendly. The location just off the main lake worked out well with 2 boats as they were protected from any harsh weather. The house has plenty of room for everyone and is close to town along with stores. Owner had quick responses to all of our questions.

Family Reunion

The property was as advertised... The house is in a great neighborhood and the amenities were as described. We had 10 Adults, 1 small child and an infant staying in the house for 8 days. There was never a time we felt cramped or had nothing to do. There were even several toys available in the home to keep our 4-year-old granddaughter occupied during quite times. We do wish there were mirrors in the bedrooms and that the downstairs bathroom shower had a shelf for shampoo & soap. However, overall, we were very pleased with the accommodations!

Nice Northern Indiana family getaway

After our main summer vacation plans got derailed by a medical situation we put together a quick stay in Northern Indiana. I was able to take my daughter to the outlet malls, my teen son to Valpo U for for a college visit, watched movies,my husband got to fish off the dock with my son, and those were just the rainy days. We also had a great visit up to Indiana Beach which was surprisingly decent. Sand, waves, refreshingly cool but not frigid water , nice breeze, and water views all the way up to the horizon. This house was phenomenal. Plenty of room and plenty of rooms to be together or avoid each other. Any family with teens will know both are important. Pretty views of Pine lake . The ping pong and pool table were both enjoyed, as was the paddleboat. I'd have liked more time out on Pine lake with the kayaks (my daughter demanded we return because she saw a spider in her kayak. Had we taken the time to hose out the kayaks before going out on the lake this would have been a non-issue ) The house had good water pressure in the showers. Having just learned on a recent trip how enjoyable a proper Finnish sauna (dry heat! ) I really enjoyed the in-house sauna. NO one else was game to try it, but that might have made it even better! Kroger and all stores within 10 minutes. The only thing I found slightly odd was that there were no dishrags/dishtowels, only paper towels. All my questions were answered promptly by Sergei. Would love to come back with more family/cousins

Peaceful and Serene

Had a wonderful time at Sofana on the Lake. Relax on the deck or one of the lounge chairs and swing in the backyard. House is spacious and our family had lots of space to spread out or be together. The sauna was a special treat. Host responds quickly and is very accommodating. Thank you for a great vacation.

The house is as advertised, very nice and spacious. We had 11 stay comfortably and happily. The neighborhood is great and direct neighbors are very friendly. We had a great time using the kayaks, playing in the lake, speeding around on our small boat, and renting from the marina. Only complaint is the surrounding area does not provide much entertainment, food options, shopping, etc. Pine Lake the neighborhood is beautiful. The house is beautiful. The neighbors are fantastic. Just wish there were more in the direct surrounding area.
