Now taking 2025 reservations!
PIER 382, located in the center of Syracuse Lake's prestigious North Shore, is a magnificent custom home that takes full advantage of the property's hilltop location providing breathtaking panoramic views of the lake from all three levels.
NOTE: With it's 3 levels (4 if you count the lake level) there a quite a few stairs. No more than other homes of this style, but enough we feel it important to mention. There is a large main level bedroom w/ adjacent full bath for those wanting to avoid stairs.
Essentially a two-story home with a walk-out lower level. As you enter the foyer on the main level, to the right is the laundry/pantry and rec room, straight ahead is a large bedroom, and to the left is the enormous gourmet kitchen, large dining area, turret-sun room, spectacular great room that overlooks the lake and opens onto the main level balcony. Up the wide staircase there are 4 bedrooms upstairs including the Master and the "dormer-room" with it's 8 twin beds.
The lower level may be accessed from the great room or it's own balcony, and was designed to be a complete 2-bedroom apartment. It offers a family room, a second full kitchen and two bedrooms, including one with the "turret" designed panoramic views.
Built in 2004, this custom lake home has an inviting open floorplan so often lacking in older lake homes. Over 5,000 sq ft of living space, 7 sleeping areas (6 Large Bedrooms plus the huge Dormer room with 8 twin beds), 4 Full Baths, 3 Full Kitchens.
The main floor kitchen is enormous and very well appointed with virtually every appliance and accessory imaginable. It's not an over statement to call it "gourmet."
Pier 382 is the perfect destination for large family gatherings. The enormous great room w/cathedral ceiling and fireplace is often the center point for the day or evenings activities. The wall of lake side windows offer spectacular views of the lake, and the dining area is set up for large groups and is ideal for meals or games. Just off the great room is the spacious main level balcony. The perfect place to catch all the lakeside action, with Adirondak chairs overlooking the lake and the dining area is perfect for outdoor meals or activities. There is also a power awning that covers the balcony dining table to give you a break from the sun.
The lower level was designed to serve as a 2 Bedroom apartment, w/ Full Bath and Full kitchen w/ Breakfast bar, family room and private balcony. This area creates that "someplace else" to read, nap or just get away for a bit. Just outside this area is the Lower-level Balcony, which has a 6-person bar w/ LP Fire Ring overlooking the lakeside patio.
Lakeside patio has a new upholstered seating area, Adirondack chairs, lounge chairs. We just added a 2nd propane "fire ring" for lake side patio, perfect for those cool evenings. Plenty of room to sit, lounge or sun by the lake.
Syracuse Lake and the surrounding area is perfect for, swimming, boating, fishing, sailing, golfing or just relaxing. The lake is beautiful, the water so clean and clear you can see the sandy lake bottom and even fish swimming by from the balcony above. The lake bottom around our pier in particular is very sandy and shallow out to about the 4th or 5th section which provides a wonderful shallow swimming/wadding area for kids and grown-ups a like. Past the 4th section of pier, it starts dropping off to about 6-7 feet deep at the end of the pier. Our pier is a bit longer than most and guests are welcome bring their own boat or rent from local marinas, a few of which will drop off and pick up at the pier.
Syracuse Lake is connected to Lake Wawasee via a channel that goes under the rather low rail bridge on the south side of the lake. NOTE: Guests wishing to boat between the lakes should inquire first, as some boats will not fit under the rail bridge. Both of our speed boats fit under most of the year, but pontoon boats typically will not.
Syracuse lake is an "all sports" lake meaning "speed boats" and water skiing Jet Skis and tubing are allowed. Growing up, Doug's family had a home on Wawasee, but we regularly went to Syracuse Lake preferring it's calmer waters for skiing and tubing.
The North shore of Syracuse Lake is known for its meticulously maintained properties, many of which overlook the lake from a hill. (We like to think of it as the "better part" of the lakes....but we might be biased :) ...or... we might be right ;) haha
The town of Syracuse and the surrounding area are quite charming and offer a multitude of activities and attractions.
Pier 382 is not primarily a rental property, and we won't rent to anyone simply because they have the money. This is our family lake home, and we take pride in maintaining it at that level for both ourselves and our guests. We cater to large families and corporate guests needing a property that can comfortably accommodate up to 20 guests. Doug personally greats all guests at the property. We chose to rent to help offset expenses and because we can't use it all the time, but we are not looking to simply book as many stays as possible.
All the beds and mattresses were purchased new in 2022-23 and are covered with quality linens. We have a great team of housekeepers that understand our standards and work hard to maintain the level of cleanliness we and our guests expect. Please look at our reviews, I ask many guests... "did we over sell it?" and the most common reply ..."it's bigger and better than we expected!"
We are committed to making your stay fantastic and will go the extra mile to make that happen. Let us know what we can do to make your stay even better. We are happy to "pre-stage" things or even help procure select items. We greet all guests personally to ensure they are familiar with the location and operation of all the amenities the home offers.
Please contact us, we'd love to chat with you and help plan your next stay.

Summary: Our stay at this beautiful home for our sons wedding, with our entire family and grandkids, exceeded our expectations in every way! Upon arrival, Doug met me to go over everything in the house, and his communication leading up to our trip and our stay here was so helpful no matter what my questions were. The house is AMAZING!! We have a large family, and there was so much space for everyone to relax, sleep, hang out and just have fun. The kitchen is perfect for feeding a lot of people and has so much to offer. We loved the outdoor grilling area, as well as the beautiful back deck for eating and the lower patio for hanging out by the water. There are endless amounts of relaxing spaces in this house! This lake house is very well kept, organized, clean and has so many extra amenities to offer you. It was the absolute perfect place to be as a family as we celebrated our sons wedding, and we were all saying how it would be fun to be here a week in the summer. One of the things that we loved about the house, was how many king size beds were available which makes it so nice when you have multiple couples/families staying. The bonus room with the 8 twin beds for our grandkids was a HIT! They spent so much time in here playing with the toys and just hanging out, but most importantly had their own space to sleep. So pleased with this Lake house for our family get away!!

Summary: Doug was a wonderful host. He agreed to let us visit the property prior to our stay just so we could get the lay of the land. And then, upon arrival, warmly greeted us again, gave us a thorough tour, and provided all the information we needed to make our stay perfect. It was clear from the start that he and his wife had thought of everything. And, I must say, the photos don't do this place justice—we were absolutely blown away by how spacious and thoughtfully designed the home is. Our group was large and a mix of early-to-beds and night owls, but somehow the design of the house ensured most of the bedrooms stayed nice and quiet and everyone slept soundly. The massive bunk room was another surprise. Even the adults didn't mind staying there, thanks to the ample space between the beds. The expansive deck was a favorite spot for shared family dinners, offering beautiful views of the lake and a perfect ambiance. Unexpectedly, the game room quickly became a hub of activity, not just for the kids but for the adults too. (And I’d note that despite being located beneath the “bunk room”, very little sound travelled up). The dock was another highlight ..spacious enough for everyone to hang out all day, with shallow water that made it perfect for families with little ones. The chest-high coolers out on the patios were a game-changer, saving us from constantly having to refill coolers. All in all, this home exceeded our expectations. We truly felt like we were in a home away from home

Summary: This was our first visit to this area in Indiana and think this is a hidden gem. The lake is beautiful & the lake & dock were easy to see from inside the house & from the multi-level outdoor decks. The home is beautifully decorated and has plenty of room. The main floor kitchen was well-equipped and spacious for cooking for a group. We used the large kitchen tables for games, and enjoyed the huge garage game room on a stormy day. The lake has very clean, clear water - perfect for swimming, and we had a lot of success fishing. Our group really enjoyed all the gathering areas, inside and out. The owners were very helpful with our questions. Highly recommend and hope we can return.

Summary: We had such a wonderful trip. It’s apparent that Doug and Leslie care very much about their home and ensuring that guests enjoy time there. Doug made sure that we knew every aspect of the property and answered every question. There was so much space for all of our extended family. The beds were super comfortable, the kitchen was well-equipped, the deck was spacious, and the lake was perfect! It’s one of the best lake vacations we’ve ever had. We hope to stay here again in the future!
