*** LAST CHANCE FOR 2007 !!!!!! ----------------***
Welcome to our unique one of a kind vacation rental home nestled on the waterfront of Lake Shafer in Monticello Indiana near Indiana Beach Amusement Park. Our home has that warm cottage feel to it and is extremely kid friendly, being that we have 4 children of our own to chase around. Our house will comfortably sleep 6-10 people. We have a trundle bed that turns into a king, a queen, a double or full, a pack en play , a roll away cot and 2 queen sleeper sofas. Plenty of room for the whole family.
Walk out of our sliding glass doors and sit and relax in our bench swing suspended under 2-100 foot tall oak trees and watch your tension and stress just disappear. If that doesn't do the trick try sitting at the end of one of our 2 piers and let your feet dangle in the water as you watch ducks swim quietly past. Lake Shafer has over 50 miles of shoreline to explore. We are just minutes from Indiana Beach Amusement Park by boat or car. We love watching the water ski and diving shows from the lake. We also love to go swimming at a secret spot just a few minutes away from us called volleyball beach where the action is nonstop all day long. Tippecanoe country club and the sand bar are a couple of the nearby restaurants that are accessible from the lake and have piers to tie off your boat. Fishing with the kids off of our pier is also a family favorite.
We have 2 piers and plenty of room to dock your boat, so bring it with. The boat ramp is $5 and is located 1/2 mile from our house. We also have plenty of parking for your trailer and cars. We have parked a 17 ft trailer and 6 cars so don't worry there is plenty of room. Boating and fishing are both very popular on Lake shafer some of the best bluegill fishing in Indiana is at the Norway Dam,
(don't tell them I told you it's a big secret ). We have tons of life vests for you and the kids. We also have a nice new round rotating clothesline for drying suits.
I am an avid golfer who likes to play the courses out here when I get a chance, Pine view has a nice 9 hole par 3 course and Tippecanoe Country Club has a nice 18, which can be challenging. Yes I will leave one set of right handed clubs for anyone to use.
Indiana Beach Amusement park also has a nice kid friendly water park. We have been going there for the last 30 years and I can tell you the rides and friendly atmosphere are great for any family vacation. Indiana Beach has a great area loaded with kiddie rides for the little ones. This amusement park has the excitement of the big amusement parks with roller coasters, haunted house, tilt a whirl, etc. Yes there is more than corn here in Indiana.
