About this property

STUNNING LAKEFRONT PROPERTY SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL VIEWS.

This beautiful physically challenged accessible home is located on a private lake and offers amazing views surrounded by a mature forest. A new chair lift was installed last season to provide ease of access to the lakefront. This peaceful setting is a birdwatcher's dream. All of your senses are filled with joy upon entering this home. We want to share hospitality with strangers and meet some great people along the way. Hospitality begins with inspiration, preparation, and presentation. With loving detail, we wish to provide a generosity of spirit, characterized by kindness and warm courtesy. This home is perfect for a multi-generational family retreat for up to 16 people. The home is furnished with high-end materials, green appliances in, and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems with LED lighting. We have taken great care to use allergy-safe building materials with no off-gassing. The home is ADA friendly with a ramp to enter the home, multiple thresholds, and an elevator to transport a person to the deck below. Handicapped persons will have access to decks and two screened-in porches as well as complete kitchen access and a dedicated handicapped bathroom as well as access to the game room. We have meticulously renovated and enlarged the home with countless amenities. We have installed a gold-standard security system that includes six outdoor cameras and nine wireless smoke detectors. A Gourmet kitchen and custom-made maple tables provide ample seating for all. The laundry room has a pair of stackable LG washer and dryers. We have a game room with Ping-Pong, Foosball, and Air Hockey, a Magnetic dartboard, a custom-made table for poker, and an art studio. Other offerings include books, magazines, multiple board games, DVDs, three smart TVs, two additional HD TVs with cable and Wi-Fi, a Blu-ray player, a computer desk, printer and paper, landline with five phones that include free long-distance calling in the US and Canada. The entire home has room-darkening shades except for the Palladium Window. We provide paper products, coffee, tea, towels, spices, cleaning supplies, bedding, and allergy-safe pillows. Great for hiking and biking under the beautiful trees. We have a fire pit up the hill near the game room outbuilding. There are two screened-end porches, a game room, multiple decks, and a cement waterfront patio. We are located 45 minutes south of downtown Indianapolis, 500 yards from Brown County, and an hour and a half away from Louisville, Ky. We are 30 minutes from Brown County State Park and 25 minutes from Columbus, Indiana considered by Conde Nast Traveler to be one of the best cities for architecture lovers. We are 45 minutes from Indiana University Bloomington. We are located minutes away from Hoosier Horse Park and Premium Outlet Mall in Edinburg, Apple Works, the world-famous Marc Adams School of Woodworking, and the Blue River Canoe Livery. We have a home next door and will be happy to help our guests during their stay.

Wonderful Lake Getaway

The house was beautifully designed, spotless, and well-equipped. We had everything we needed for an enjoyable and relaxing retreat. The surroundings were peaceful and the views of the lake through the trees were wonderful, especially at sunset! Donna and Fred were great hosts – great communication and very helpful with suggestions of nearby activities. They even took us for a spin around the lake on their pontoon boat! Thanks Donna and Fred, we hope to return.

Your beautiful home

The house was beautiful! Fred and Donna were the best hosts!!! Lots of water toys and all the amenities we needed. My only concern to the future renters is the house is not a true 5 bedroom. Three actual bedrooms and the rest were pull out couches in 2 sleeping areas within the main living space. Overall we had a great time!!!

Perfect family retreat

Beautiful view of the lake! This was a perfect home for a multigenerational family gathering. Plenty of space and lots of amenities to enjoy. From family games to kayaks and paddle boats we had something for everyone to enjoy. The owners were easy to work with, and thought of everything to make our stay special.

DONT STAY HERE!!

The hosts literally ROBBED US OF MONEY. When we showed up, they gave us a 16 page document and said it was on the website, but it wasn't. While we were there, the hosts walked in and out of the rental without any notice. They said we didn't have access to portions of the rental, including the dock/lake access, which is obviously why we chose this rental. They yelled at us and said we were trespassing, even though we paid thousands of dollars for this rental. If you are looking for a fun day at the lake, stay anywhere but here!

Peaceful family retreat

The house was beautiful and well equipped. We all enjoyed the assorted watercraft available for use. The ping pong table was a hit with us. The property owners, Fred & Donna, stayed in their lake house next door during our week, and were available for pontoon boat rides and other incidental requests we made. If you're looking for a quiet lake for a relaxing family vacation, this is an excellent choice.

What a great vacation

Fred and Donna are true gems. They really have thought of everything a family would need to enjoy their house. It was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Our family gathering of 14 people found ample space to stretch out including a dining table that would accommodate all of us at meal times. There were watercraft available for our use and our wonderful hosts even took us out on their pontoon several times. Our daughter who is in a wheelchair could easily maneuver through the majority of the property and take part in all the fun including fishing and swimming.There are also plenty of fun activities in the area as well, including canoe trips on the Big Blue river and a fantastic public shooting range just a few miles away. Thank you Fred and Donna. You really made us feel like family.

A beautiful location & a great stay.

This lakeside vacation rental had everything we could ask, and more. The hosts, who live next door, were quite cordial and provided extras for water activities that would probably not be found at some other places. Five stars, with two caveats: 1. Be very certain to obtain and understand the lease agreement before making payment. This property is located within an HOA that has certain restrictions on occupancy. 2. Although the property is rented with sleeping arrangements for 18, there are only three bedrooms accommodating 8. The rest of the sleeping arrangements are on large queen sized beds in foldout sofas, which should be kept in mind.

The whole family vacation

First, Fred and Donna are true gems. Donna was awesome to communicate and went out of her way to address any questions before our arrival. We have stayed at many of these type of properties but this is by far the cleanest place ever. Donna very aware of those with allergies and she cleans meticulously. They were very gracious to take my family on 2 boat rides. Fred and Donna were generous with their time. They have made a beautiful home to share with others. My father is in a wheelchair and they thought of everything. The house, porches and even dock and pontoon are wheelchair accessible. My father and I used to fish all the time. Because of their accommodations we were able to get my dad to the water and for the first time in years he has caught a fish. It was a wonderful vacation for our family to be away from hustle and bustle. Fred and Donna are 2 new friends and we hope to visit again

Beautiful home, restrictive contract, intrusive owner

In full disclosure, I did not thoroughly read the contract as I assumed it would be similar to the many other VRBO rentals I have used in the past. This was my error. The owner required copies of driver’s licenses of all adults who were staying at the home, which felt intrusive and possibly discriminatory. I had also assumed (incorrectly) that the owner would communicate with me via email and then leave me instructions in the home. However, this owner met me at the house and gave me a 20 minute tour while the other guests had to wait outside. She pointed out many details of the house, how much time and effort she put into the building and design of the house and reviewed some of the rules. I figured though this wasn’t what I was used to the information would be useful. Then she told me she would be staying next-door (50 feet away) for the entire length of our visit. This set us off on the wrong foot as my family felt like we were being watched and monitored the entire time. She asked to take a photo of my family even though I repeatedly declined. She also approached me when I was sunbathing in my bikini and asked to take my photo several times which I was not comfortable with. Several times when we went down the stairs to the dock the owner would yell out corrections to us or make suggestions. Some of these were helpful and some of them were pointing out that we were breaking the rules of the detailed contract. For example, the kids were fishing on the wrong side of the dock. That was definitely our error. The home and setting is beautiful, but because of the incredibly restrictive details of the contract and the hovering presence of the owner I would not rent this house again. For example, I failed to read that we were not allowed to have friends visit during the day. I invited friends over for lunch which I now know was against the contract. The owner ran out and yelled at my friends and asked who they were. When they said they were my friends she said they were trespassing and they would have to leave by 5 o’clock. The owner then took a photo of my friend’s license plate and sent it to VRBO. I went back and re-read the reviews of this home. They are all five star. However, in each response by the owner it is very clear that the owners of the rental enjoy mingling and socializing with the guests of the home. This was not what I expected and not

Beautiful House and Property

Our hosts, Donna and Fred could not have been more attentive, especially to our little great-granddaughters. The house was beautiful and generously stocked for all our needs. The Bedrooms could have been better described as private or non-private, but for our close family, it all worked out. Our entire family (all four generations) had a great time enjoying the lake and the pontoon rides. Thank you Donna and Fred for helping us make wonderful memories on this vacation.

Blissful Respite. Amazing Owners

The place was immaculate and could accommodate larger groups easily. The House is on the lake with easy access to swim, float, etc. the lake is peaceful and quiet. Donna and Fred were so nice to meet and get to know. They took us on a lot of boat rides and let us use their pedal kayak to explore the lake. Everything was great! I would come here again for sure.

Excellent multi-generational family retreat

Absolutely beautiful home, impeccable condition. Fred and Donna provided everything needed, and then some. The outdoor space is as beautifully maintained as the house inside. The lake was enjoyed by all of us, whether swimming, or boating in the generously shared kayak, canoe, and other water toys. We had an immune compromised child and owners were extra respectful of the situation. Everything about the house was amazing, and it accurately sleeps the number of people represented. However, it might be helpful to know in planning that only 3 of the sleeping spaces were private bedrooms. In summary amazing, house, amazing, trip, wonderful hosts, we would definitely stay here again!
