Long weekend
We were looking to disconnect and spend quality on the lake. Beautiful property, charming decor, well stocked for any cooking/baking needs, and very dog friendly! We loved the boat also and it allowed us to see all of Lake Shafer.

Amazing Stay
We use vacation rental properties when we go on vacations and we have never had a property that exceeded our expectations like this one. The owners have thought of every single detail. From the coffee bar to the bedrooms to the stocked bathrooms they have thoughtfully put together an exceptional experience for the traveler. Their knowledge of the area was especially helpful to us. The attention to detail was unparalleled. You will enjoy this lovely home and all it has to offer.

Family Getaway
This is a cute and cozy cottage with an amazing deck and view of the water. The owners were very good at checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The cucumber water, snacks, and coffee bar were extra fun perks! This house is fully stocked with everything you may need (towels, soap, lanterns, etc). We definitely plan to come back.

Great house, great location, great host
Our family enjoyed our stay. The house was well stocked with everyday items you needed. Kelly was very easy to work with and checked if you needed anything several times. She responded to your questions in a timely manner. We enjoyed cooking out on the deck. The deck had very good furnishings. It was very comfortable and relaxing. The location was close to golf courses and restaurants. It was also nice and close to Indiana Beach. We highly recommend this VERBO.

Lake Cottage Extraordinaire!!
Perfectly appointed three bedroom cottage with a wonderful deck and large pier. The grandchildren loved jumping and floating in the water. Kelly, our host, was in frequent contact to ensure our stay was going well. I would highly recommend a stay in this lovely cottage.
