About this property

We try to maintain full propane but in the event it’s empty, there is a refill station at Lakeview Hardware. (10 minutes away) Send us the receipt for full reimbursement. You will not find a nicer home or a better view of the lake. Come see for yourself! You can also stay at Phoebes Lakefront house 8 minutes away and also lakefront!

Perfect Indian Lake Stay!

We loved our stay at this house! It is updated & very clean. Only note I have is to be aware that the listing is not entirely accurate on number of bedrooms - it lists 4, but there are truly only 3 bedrooms. The 4th is a nook/loft space outside the primary suite on the 2nd floor (not a separate room/closed door option). We are flexible so no issue for us, but for those looking for 4 true bedrooms this would not be accurate. Overall, would recommend for a trip to Indian Lake & would stay again!

Great lakehouse

We were there for the solar eclipse and had a spectacular trip. Despite the recent tornado, the community was so friendly and welcoming. #strongerthanthestorm The host, Phil, was super responsive and easy to communicate with. The sunsets on the lake were breathtaking.

Winter Wonderland

We had a phenomenal time at the lake in January. The lake froze over and we enjoyed the serenity of sipping coffee and watching the geese work across the frozen lake. The house was beautiful inside and out. The master bed and bath are BEAUTIFUL and the downstairs created the perfect hangout spot for our group. The host was a great communicator and incredibly nice. We would 10/10 recommend this property any time of the year, but really enjoyed the peacefulness of the lake during the winter season.

High End Finishes

This rental has great high end finishes. Enjoyed the rain shower! The screened in porch is wonderful for morning coffee or an evening of games and drinks. Large fully-stocked kitchen is great for family cooking together without running over each other. Owner quickly answered requests. We would definitely stay again.

Great Lakeview Property

The house was located right on India Lake with a screen porch facing the water. Sunsets were beautiful and we enjoyed the boats, ducks and geese on the water. The beds were comfortable, with two bedrooms downstairs and a bedroom and loft sleeping area upstairs. The owner was easily accessible by message or phone. We had a great visit!

Amazing Stay, Even in the Winter

It may have been so cold the lake was partially frozen and we weren't able to enjoy the screened-in porch, but the views were amazing and the gas fireplace made us feel warm and cozy. High-end appliances, a coffee bar, barn doors, a huge master suite, and so many other amenities made our decision for a last-minute trip an easy YES! Phil made sure we made it safely and our needs were met during our stay. We hope to be back again soon!

Gorgeous property

I wanted a nice, relaxing place on the lake with nice views to celebrate my 50th birthday and this house exceeded my expectations. The house is absolutely beautiful and cozy. We loved the well appointed kitchen and the sunroom overlooking the lake. Being a cool October weekend we even took advantage of the firepit. Really a great stay overall and I would definitely book again.
