Full Rec Lake w/pontoon to rent! 🏖 Beach. 🐶 friendly.

Welcome to our Bonding Time LLC lake house! You’re in for a treat when you realize what sets this house and it’s owners apart from other vacation rentals! We have the advantage of living on the same lake, so we are able to provide prompt and exceptional customer service. You’ll have a five star experience and want to return! Our quality furnishings and tasteful decor will make you feel right at home.

Dogs possible at owners discretion and $125 fee. No pets other than dogs. Do not Instant Book if you have a dog, please send an inquiry first so we can discuss. There are additional rules that apply for dogs.

This home has walk-out to a level lot that then gently slopes to a natural beach shoreline (when the water level is down), and there is a small area of beach by the shore. The yard has beautiful mature trees, a fire pit, dock, and pontoon (minimal per stay charge). The home is located on a very quiet dead-end road, and only 5 minutes to the grocery store / downtown area.

Irogami Lake is a clean, shallow (maximum depth is about 8 feet), safe, low traffic lake. It is a full recreation lake perfect for skiing, tubing, wake boarding, fishing, etc.
Rest assured, your boat will work great on this lake despite the shallow depth and your skiers will be happy to not fight traffic.

Even though ski hours are 6am to 8:30pm (10am-8:30pm weekends and holidays), the lake is quiet enough that you can use our paddle boards, kayaks, canoe, paddle boat, row boat, fish, or swim, etc without issue.

The home is perfect for your large group; sleeping 17 people in beds, 2 people on a sleeper sofa, and 1 child or small adult on a roll out bed. We also have a queen sized air mattress that two children could sleep on in the living room or game room. Four out of six bedrooms have queen/king non-bunk beds, so you will have plenty of comfortable sleeping room. There is a Master bedroom en suite, a main level shared bathroom with tub shower, and a lower level full bathroom with walk-in shower.

The open concept brand new kitchen allows for everyone to join together at meals. The island in the kitchen has seating and there’s a BIG table in the dining area to fit your group for mealtime (please protect this table while using it! Do not slide dishes across the wood. There are a number of table cloths you can use. Also, do NOT put anything hot on the wood without a trivet or hot pad). There is also a folding table with 4 chairs, and a folding poker table that when covered with table cloths can be used for meals.

The great family area in the lower level is a activity/game hub for your group. We have a bar area, pool table, darts, air hockey, foosball, board games, children's books, 65" TV and more in this area! Rainy days will not disappoint! For the sunny days, enjoy out door seating with large upper deck, and walk-out ground level patio overlooking a wonderful yard on the lake side for gathering together.

Lake toys: paddle boat, canoe, row boat/sailboat, 10' kayak, and two paddle boards included. We keep a number of life vests in the garage. Sizes and quantity listed later in this description. Return life vests and lake toys in a neat and orderly manner!

No-smoking inside or cigarette butts left outside, or security deposit is kept.

No indoor cooking of food with lingering pungent smells that cannot be removed before the next guests check in. We provide a Weber grill that can cook those smelly foods outdoors. The grill is new. You may use it only if you clean the grates, flame covers, and drip pan before you leave. It should look new. If not, a portion or all of your security deposit will be kept. Gas included, but if you run through the tank because you left the gas on you will need to refill the tank at your expense.

We recommend you look into cancellation protection in case something unexpected comes up and at the last minute you cannot make you trip and you are within the No Refund timeframe:
http://www.vacationprotection.com/?tab=Cancellation-Protection

There is a $99 insurance protection plan that will be added once you start your booking process. This will give both parties extra protection, and will cover up to $5,000 of accident coverage. If ANY damage occurs during your stay take a picture and send to the owners immediately so they can submit it to the insurance. This insures that security deposit would only be held for disrespect to property and not following rules.

Thank you Diane and Dave for ensuring that our stay was truly memorable. Their professionalism, courtesy, and expertise in short term rentals are commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment and would be eager to return to one of their other properties in the future. They are deserving of exceptional guests, as they exemplify the qualities of outstanding hosts.

A perfect weekend getaway
This property provided everything I could have wanted for a nice weekend get away with friends and family. We had 14 guests stay very comfortably. It was quiet and remote enough to be a nice relaxing change of pace from the city life, but also close enough to town to get all the groceries you need and close to a very nice ski resort! The hosts had impeccable communication and check in and check out was a breeze. Would definitely consider staying here again!

Beautiful home for families to gather
We enjoyed everything about this beautiful home and property! We had 12 family members together to celebrate an 80th birthday and the home was open and spacious and had lots of gathering spaces for all 12 of us to come together to eat, talk and reminisce. Not only is the home beautiful, the setting is as well with a lovely view of the lake and we were pleased with the lake "toys" available for us to use, i.e. kayaks, pedal boat, etc. The only thing I would mention is that the listing says the home can accommodate 20 and I would caution that it seems like a number that is too high....especially if all the guests are adults. We had 12 adults and that seemed like a maximum for uncrowded movement in the living areas and especially for sleeping. We ended up putting 2 6-ft tall family members in the bunkbeds and they struggled a bit :) However, for kids that would work just fine. Again, for us, we loved every minute of our stay and would highly recommend staying in this beautiful space for a family gathering.

Fantastic, 5+ stars
Excellent host. Quick responses to messages. The neighborhood had a sewer issue (not the owners fault) and we had 12 ladies who couldn’t use any water on our last night at the house. The owner immediately found us a new place to stay and even met us at the new house at 10pm to make sure we found it. The house is beautiful and clean. My family has already been talking about going back next year for our annual girls weekend. Fantastic and would give more than 5 stars if we could.

We really enjoyed our weekend at Bonding time! There was plenty of space for everyone and the well-equipped game room allowed for plenty of friendly competition. The kitchen was the best-equipped of any place I have ever rented and the HUGE dining table provided seats for everyone but the weather was so beautiful, we actually had most of our meals outside on the deck. We rented the pontoon and also made good use of the kayaks and SUPs. Would definitely rent this place again!

We spent a wonderful week at the lake house. Diane was very responsive, met us at the property and quickly resolved issues. The kitchen is fully equipped and was so easy to work in. The swimming area was free or weeds and muck. We even got our 13 yr old dog in the water. The large dining table was perfect for game play and family meals.

Family vacation of fun
Great Lake house for a family vacation. We had 10 adults and there was plenty of room. Most of our time was spent in the water which was warm being a shallow lake. We used the kayaks, sups and paddle boat daily. The trees could use some limbing to see the water better. But there are still beautiful views of the lake from the deck. The house had everything we needed. We had a fantastic relaxing week. Would stay here again

Great Week on the Lake!
We had a wonderful week at this house on the lake! It's a quiet, friendly street for walking the dogs. The house is beautiful with a well-appointed kitchen. Terrific game room. We enjoyed using the kayaks, paddleboards, and paddleboat on the lake every day. The deck looks straight out to the lakeshore, and we spent quite a lot of hours eating and talking and watching the grandkids from there. Just a beautiful week for us in every way. Thank you!

Rawlsky Reunion
Our mother is turning 95 in September and is at the Heartland House in Wautoma. This was a sibling reunion coming from New Hampshire, California, Idaho, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin, and an early birthday celebration for Mom. We had a wonderful time! Fishing, swimming, paddle boating, paddle boarding, eating, sitting on the deck, telling childhood stories and pontoon rides. It was easy to get our mother and her walker in the house, and out onto the deck, and she enjoyed meeting her great grandchildren. The building was spacious, and the kitchen/living room was our favorite gathering place. There were even two pie plates to make birthday peach pies for Mom! So much fun that we are talking about trying to do it every year. Thanks again for everything!
