Summary: Our stay at this Kouts, IN vacay home was exceptional! The home looked new. It was huge, clean, & modern. There are 4 bedrooms with beds for parents & kids & with their own bathrooms, plus a half bath. There are lots of things to do on the property - a massage chair, a pool table, a shuffle board table, big connect 4 game, two fire pits (one gas & one wood burning), walking trails, a sand volley ball court, a pickle ball court & a game out building by the courts. My family of 12 (8 adults & 4 little kids, under 5) had plenty of room. We spent most of our time out on the huge covered patio or in the kitchen. The kitchen, dining table, & pantry are huge! It is remote so we cooked & ate all our meals there for our 5 days. The grands loved using the dog shower for their rinse off. My 5 year old grandson said, " I could live here forever!".
