About this property

Cozy Lake Cottage, in the heart of Indian Lake

Hello, thank you for checking out my lake cottage! This open, airy, incredibly cozy 1950's updated cottage on a popular canal is a perfect vacation home while you're investing in your change of scenery. There are two private bedrooms, one with en suite full bath. One bedroom has a King bed complete with brand new Puffy(R) Lux mattress and BrookLinen(R) bedding, and has been called by at least 3 guests now, "The most comfortable bed I've ever slept in". The second bedroom has an incredibly comfy Original Mattress Factory full mattress and Pottery barn bedding. Sleeping soundly is crucial especially when on vacation as you want to be as rested and relaxed as possible! The main BR includes a flat screen TV with Sling/Netflix, etc. The living area is completely open, kitchen, living room with the office/sunroom set off to the side a bit. The whole living room/front of the house is surrounded by windows overlooking the canal and boats docked there. We are 100 feet from the main lake, so it's easy to kayak there or boat, canoe, etc. Rental includes a HUGE slip if you want to BYOB (bring your own boat). There is no lift at the moment, but you can just tie it up when parked. Back in the heyday, this area was known as White Cottage Park, and the canal was filled with canoes, you will be provided with two kayaks and life jackets, oars, to use as you like. (Once you sign the disclaimers of course. :) please take them out and explore the lake while you're here.
This cottage has a large yard on the canal with a huge patio, parking for approx. 3-4 cars, and a fire pit. The property includes a huge slip/dock ready for your large pontoon boat, or whatever you like to use on the lake (there is currently no lift.)
There is a brand new Maytag washer/dryer in the unit, and bedding is included with your stay. The kitchen is fully loaded with the standard appliances, air fryer, slow cooker, InstaPot, utensils and dinnerware so you should want for nothing within reason during your stay. There is also a Keurig machine and pods available for your complimentary use.
There is a PUFFY(R) LUX king bed in the master bedroom with BrookLinen(R) bedding. The guest bedroom has an Original Mattress Factory super comfy Full bed with Pottery Barn bedding included. In the living room is a Wayfair queen sleeper sofa with an additional gel foam mattress pad for added comfort. The cottage also has additional bedding available via a twin and queen air mattresses with bedding included. The living room has two leather armchairs and a leather sofa. A large screen smart tv is in the living room, and both bedrooms also have smart TVs. I also provide extra bedding/lots of extra pillows.
We have at least 2 BALD EAGLE nests, and golden eagles have been sighted frequently as well. Heron (blue and green), hawks, turkey vultures, loons, ducks, downy woodpeckers, geese, swans, birds I don't know the name of... you may in fact see it all while you're here. The eagles are very easy to spot, and live here so it's very likely you will have an encounter if you seek them out. And it NEVER gets old, and is always exciting to witness them in nature.
The front yard has a fire pit and there is an additional pit on the patio. The patio has a solid wood sectional and additional upholstered seating available.
There is Cornhole available to take to the yard, as well as air hockey for a rainy day inside or sunny days on the patio for outdoor gaming!
There is a clothes iron and board, hair dryers, pack and play, vacuum, mini charcoal grill, full size Blackstone Griddle grill, etc. There is so much available here for you to enjoy. :)
*** PETS: If you wish to bring pets, please let me know what exactly you would like to bring before booking. Thank you!

Cottage

This was a very nice place to stay. The back yard is right on the water where there are docks for boats and kayaks. Some of the places in that area are under repair from a tornado that struck in March 2024, but otherwise, it was a very interesting and unique location to visit and explore! People were fishing and boating on Indian Lake, people we came into contact with were very nice, and most of the conveniences of life are available - to include a wonderful Coffee Shop! We will definitely be back! As outlined in the list of an enmities, there was no blow dryer and limited utensils for cooking; however, there were plenty of other items to use in cooking. The kitchen was also missing a fire detector, and there were little black ants in and around the kitchen and bathroom areas; however, those items are already being addressed.

Great stay

Host was wonderful with communication- we had a wonderful stay. We brought our truck and that was a bit cramped to fit in the allotted parking….all else was just as described and we loved it!

Clean and Comfortable

We enjoyed the evenings on the deck and watching pontoon boats come and go. We were within easy walking distance to pizza and ice cream. Great LP records were available for setting the tone in the evenings. We'd go back again, for sure.

Birthday get a way

My husband, daughter and son in law had the best weekend at this adorable cottage to celebrate my husband and daughter's birthdays. The location was perfect. We had a wonderful day fishing and enjoyed good food and a peaceful evening out on the back deck.

Beautiful place!

This is a great place to stay. Right on the water and a very comfortable property. The deck is amazing. My sons used the nice kayaks to fish on the water. They caught a bunch of keeper blue gill, perch and a large mouth bass. They were also catching fish right off the dock. You can walk to pizza place and ice cream and some other places. The furniture inside is very nice and high end. Tani is awesome to work with and very responsive.

Amazing Stay at Indian Lake

We had a great time thanks to Tani and her amazing property. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. We had a great time kayaking, grilling out on the Blackstone, relaxing by the firepit, and so much more. A pizza shop is right across the back yard for a quick and easy meal and the kids had so much fun getting ice cream there too. The brewery is a short walk away and so is the donut shop. By far the most relaxing and convenient trip we've taken in a long time. We cant wait to get back!

25th Anniversary

The property owner was very easy to work with and replies back quickly. The place has everything you only need to bring food and drinks. Location is walking distance to donut shop, LuLu’s, Taco Bell, store, and local Brewery. The fishing is great and a Pizza place with ice cream literally in the backyard. Parking was a bit tight. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy Cottage Getaway

This property was absolutely perfect! Our family loved this getaway and will absolutely be returning. Owner was amazing! We arrived to an adorable and cozy and very clean cottage with a welcome gift. You are right next door to a cute little pizza and ice cream spot and the employees are wonderful. Everything you can think of - I feel like this owner has supplied in the cottage. Just like home. We were able to bring our fur babies too so an excellent home away from home. We checked out a couple local restaurants and then also went to Bellefontaine about 20 minutes away to this amazing restaurant, The Syndicate, for a nice anniversary dinner. There's plenty of bedding for the whole family. Fully equipped kitchen. Lots of sitting space to enjoy the whole family in the living room area. One of our favorite parts are the two kayaks available. Even though it was slightly chilly - it was a blast! The back deck is a great layout. We didn't get to use them this trip but there's a grill and fire ring and lots of seating. One of the neat things about this cabin is the decor. I think we spent an hour just admiring the details. Old postcards of the lake, old newspaper cover pages, just lots of great stuff. The only thing I could see being a negative would be it's parking for one vehicle basically. Or two smaller vehicles. We only had one so no problem for us but just a heads up. We can't say enough wonderful things about this cottage and owner and we can't wait to return.

Great family getaway

We needed a family get away, and that is what we found. The house was cozy and quiet (more than I'd expected) the beds were very comfortable with plenty of extra blankets and pillows. Kitchen was fully loaded. Location was great, quick walk on a low traffic road to restaurants, stores, and the donut shop.

Cozy cottage

The cottage is very cozy, comfortable and had everything we needed for a getaway on Indian Lake. The beds are so comfortable it is difficult to get up every morning! The private dock for our boat was so nice to avoid the daily launch and pull out. We kayaked and fished from the dock, made use of the deck and fire ring, and enjoyed days of boating on Indian Lake. BTW, don't let the aquatic vegetation keep you away from the lake. The channels are open as is a large portion on the north side of the lake. We look forward to booking again with Tani!!!!

Cozy & Comfortable, Fun & Friendly!

This cottage is in the perfect location! It's a great spot for kayaking & the open water is close by. There is good food (& ice cream) at a small restaurant right out the back yard, as well as very friendly neighbors. There was plenty of room for our family of 4 & the beds were incredibly comfortable. Tani is an incredible host! She is so sweet & thoughtful! The home was well-furnished (& fun decor) & had everything we needed for our weekend stay. And she even had a welcome sign for our family, which was a neat surprise. We would absolutely recommend this place to family/friends & would stay here again. Thanks Tani!
