Beautiful lake retreat

We love your property! Thank you so much for having us. The lake is so relaxing - we swam in it everyday! The pontoon boat was so fun, and it was so convenient that we could rent the boat right there! Ryan was great giving us the boat tour & showing us the sandbar! Communication with Kelly was wonderful! We loved all the extras - snacks, s'mores, stuff for Mr. Boots etc. This house has everything you need & more! We will be back❤️

Wonderful family lake vacation

Extremely clean and very nice property. The boat was great and all of the decks were lovely. The house was very well stocked and we were surprised by all of the extras like water bottles and s'mores ingredients that were included. Owners were exceptional. We had a great time as three generations having a lot of fun and also a lot of peaceful relaxation. We are already looking to book again next summer.

AMAZING!

Kellie and her son Kyle (property manager) were top-notch in every aspect. This was probably our favorite vacation rental of all time! From contacting us ahead of time and answering all our questions as we packed, to being flexible about our check-in time (we were running late), to helping us find things at the house without delay (answered texts quickly). The house is completely stocked with EVERYTHING you might need. We walked in to water bottles and ice already in the fridge/freezer. The kitchen had a huge array of dishes (crock pot, casserole dishes, baking sheets, tons of silverware, cleaners and adequate paper products - several rolls of paper towels). My family loved the smores kit they left for us - we cooked them over the propane fire pit on the back deck! The rooms were cozy and very clean. Bath towels were fluffy and numerous, they even provided beach towels. They had bug spray and sunscreen, shampoo and soap, extra razors, mouthwash and q-tips. They had wide selection of games, cards, coloring books, toys and bubbles for our 5 year-old grandson. Back deck was brand new with seating for 10 at tables and 4 more chairs at the firepit. We were all inside on a rainy day (14 people with family visiting) -plenty of room to spread out with 10 bar stools and 2 couches and big sectional (sleeper sofa - quite comfy). Master suite upstairs had small balcony overlooking the back deck, perfect for reading and lake-gazing. Pontoon rental easy and fun. Hope to return!!

Impressive Lake House

Kelly and Ryan were amazing hosts. Always responsive and checking in on us. This house was so clean and so stocked. We definitely overpacked. We were so impressed with all the amenities - even the little things that many VRBOs only get you started - plenty of shampoo, soap, garbage bags, toilet paper you name it, we couldn’t find something that was missing. The boat was also so fun - our kiddos loved tubing on the lake. Also a plus is the ramp leading down to the lake - not too many stairs. Outside and inside - lots of thought went into the details to make your stay very comfortable.

Words cannot define how awesome the host was at this property. She went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of. All of the extras made us feel special. One of our guest forgot her toothbrush. They had some there for that reason. The kitchen was stocked with spices. The boat came with all the fun floats. The beds were so comfy. The communication was great. The host checked in with us via text to make sure everything was good.

A lovely lake getaway

We had a wonderful stay. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well appointed with everything we could need, including foil. We made use of the many containers for storage as well as pots and pans, and serving trays. There were many little extras that we didn't take advantage of but my sister appreciated the sugar packets for her coffee in the morning. Plenty of space for 6 adults. The sunsets are lovey across the lake. Mornings were quiet and peaceful! Would happily stay again!

Terrific Home!

Great house to spend a long weekend at. We had a rather large group and our dogs but still had plenty of room. Many nice touches throughout the house and super comfy beds with lots of pillows. Nice to have access to the pontoon boat as well. We rented it for a couple days and the kids had a blast at the sandbar and cruising the lake. The price was also much cheaper than renting at other places we looked. Kelly was very accommodating and easy to work with for our stay. She checked in a few times via text to make sure everything was good. Would love to get back there again if we get a chance.

From the moment we walked in the door we were blown away! So many details and added comforts to make guests feel welcome and cozy. You will only need to pack a bag of clothes and some food because everything else has been taken care of by the most gracious hosts ever! They even thought of our dogs w their own bed and bowls and a welcome sign! We rented the offered boat which was the nicest we’ve rented. I could go on and on but you really should just go see for yourself! We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Kelly and Kevin

Host profile image
We have been visiting Monticello for years enjoying time spent with family and friends who live there and have been kind enough to share their beautiful space on the river with us. Every time we visited, we fell in love with it just a little bit more so we decided to start looking for a vacation home that would also be used as a short term vacation rental property and were blessed to find this home. We want our guests to be very comfortable and we enjoy being able to be a part of making great memories and to help create great experiences!

Why they chose this property

Our home is in a perfect location! Almost at the midpoint between the River and Indiana Beach with great views in every direction.

What makes this property unique

My favorite things about our home are the beautiful location, open kitchen, two family rooms, three bathrooms and the large decks! We also have a ramp almost the entire way to the boathouse reducing the number of stairs considerably! And we have plenty of parking spots which is very unusual for the area including a place to park your trailer if you bring your boat!

For every stay we supply little conveniences that make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable in the hopes you will consider staying with us again the next time you visit Monticello!
