Great home for multiple families to stay together
This home has 4 bedrooms but can sleep a ton of people if needed. The 3 full bathrooms are very nice. The game room was excellent, my 10 year old was in heaven! I highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the Demotte area.

Indianapolis + Chicago Friends Weekend
We chose this property because of it's location between Indianapolis and Chicago, as half our group was coming from each city. The house and outdoor area met every expectation for our weekend together. Michel was incredibly responsive and asked very little of us as guests. We rarely left the house, but when we did, downtown DeMotte had a great diner (Steve's Grill) and really nice grocery store. Very likely our group will try to make this our annual meet up location.

Girl’s Weekend
The house was just lovely. There was plenty of room for us all to spread out. The owners have thought of everything. We had a highchair and pack and play for the infant and lots of room for the teenagers to laugh and giggle and hang out downstairs. The mom’s gathered around the comfy, warm fireplace. We had family that came from Wisconsin and Ohio to join us in Indiana. This house was centrally located, and easy to get to. The bowling alley in Wheatfield was very friendly and clean. Truly enjoyed our stay!

Fun family game place
This was a weekend stay with 4 adult couples and 5 grandchildren 8 years and under. The place was perfect for them! They enjoyed all the electronic games available at this house. They also enjoyed the snacks provided. The kitchen is fully stocked and even has sippy cups for the liittle ones. Even though the location is 30 minutes from a larger city, there is a nice park within 8 minutes and a bowling ally in town. This home fully met my expectations for our family get together. Michele and Brice are wonderful hosts. One suggetion: hooks would be helpful in both the foyer and bathrooms.
