Three Waters Escape | 2 Kings | Game Lounge
Guest rating: 4.7 / 5
Overview
Three Waters Escape (also referenced as Three Waters Landing) is a renovated blue lakeside cottage set on a natural peninsula where Lake Flint, a protected lily pad wetland, and a quiet pond meet—surrounding the home on three sides. It’s designed for group stays with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and sleeping for up to 14, blending mid-century character with an industrial-chic lower level. Notable in-home touches include a playable vintage upright piano, a vinyl record player, and keyless self check-in via a Yale smart lock.
Living spaces & entertainment
The main floor centers on an open living room with a 65-inch TV and a working electric fireplace, plus a sunroom with floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors to the deck. Downstairs, a finished game lounge anchors evenings with foosball, air hockey, board games, a Smart TV, and a gas fireplace. A wet bar with bar stools creates a separate adults’ hangout zone while the rest of the group spreads out across two distinct living areas.
Kitchen & in-home essentials
The kitchen is set up for real cooking, with a Samsung five-burner gas range, microwave, stainless refrigerator, and dishwasher, plus small appliances including a Vitamix blender and Ninja air fryer/Foodi. A dedicated coffee station includes a Keurig, drip coffee maker, and electric kettle, and the home is stocked with cookware and dishware sized for large groups. Practical stay-over amenities include a washer/dryer, ironing board, central heating and air conditioning, free Wi‑Fi, and cable TV/streaming-capable Smart TVs in multiple rooms.
Bedrooms & bathrooms
Sleeping is split across two floors: a main-floor primary king suite with lake-view window and en-suite access, a main-floor queen bedroom, and a main-floor full-over-full bunk room. The lower level adds a private king suite and an additional full-over-full bunk room near the game area. Bathrooms include a main en-suite with a walk-in glass rainfall shower and double-sink vanity, a main hall bath with a deep soaking tub, and a lower-level full bath stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
Outdoor areas & parking
Outdoor living is a standout, with a wraparound elevated back deck furnished for groups, a quieter side deck, a front deck by the iconic yellow door, and a fire pit circle with six Adirondack chairs. A pergola swing faces the lily pad pond, and lawn games (including cornhole) support relaxed, all-ages hangouts. Free parking is provided, with a driveway that fits 4+ vehicles.
Location & setting
The home sits on Lake Flint in the Valparaiso, Indiana area, positioned for day trips to Indiana Dunes National Park (about 25 minutes), Valparaiso University (about 15 minutes), and Downtown Valparaiso (about 10 minutes for dining, shops, breweries, and a farmers market). Chicago is under an hour away, with Chicago Midway Airport around 55 minutes and South Bend International Airport around 50 minutes. Lake Flint is described as a full recreational lake—plan to bring kayaks, paddleboards, fishing gear, or a boat if you want to be on the water.
Best for
Best for multi-family trips and friend-group getaways that want a true lake setting without sacrificing indoor entertainment—two king suites, bunk rooms, and a dedicated game lounge (foosball/air hockey) make it easy to spread out. It also suits guests who prioritize outdoor hangout space, with multiple decks plus a fire pit circle and pergola swing overlooking wetlands and water on three sides.
Travel tips
Plan to arrive by car: the property includes free parking and a driveway that accommodates 4+ vehicles, and self check-in is via a Yale smart lock. If you’re coming for day trips, it’s roughly 25 minutes to Indiana Dunes National Park, about 10 minutes to Downtown Valparaiso, and under an hour to Chicago. Quiet hours are noted after 10 PM, and the home is smoke-free.
