About this property
LemonLife Luxury Lodge: Lakefront w/ Boat for Rent
The LemonLife Luxury Lodge sits above Lake Lemon Marina and has spectacular views of and access to Lake Lemon. Lake Lemon (Unionville, IN) is a hidden gem that straddles Brown County and Monroe County, an equal short drive to Nashville and Indiana University, Bloomington. This is a modern, updated private cabin perfect for families or groups who want a fun lake getaway. If you have your own boat, launch is included with your rental (contact management for parking your trailer) but lake permit fees are extra. You can also now rent watercraft directly from the Marina's Watercraft Rentals page during your stay, including Pontoons, kayaks, and Stand-Up Paddle Boards (SUPs) at https://lemonmarina.com/boatrental/. Lake Lemon is a sizeable (same size as Geist Reservoir) but uncrowded (as opposed to the overcrowded Lake Monroe) lake with unique features like "Little Africa Wildlife Refuge" with swans and lily pads. There is a public beach at Riddle Point across the lake and several coves for swimming. Great fishing, kayaking, or SUP excursions as well. See the Marina's Watercraft Rentals page for more info.

Game room/Den includes another foldout couch and can serve as a 4th or 5th bedroom with privacy curtains. Hardwood floors, modern kitchen and bathroom fixtures, washer and dryer. Very spacious (nearly 2,200 SF) and great for a family getaway. High-speed Wi-Fi included and Streaming Cable TV with HBO and Disney+.
A full-service restaurant and bar, the Lighthouse Café, is open during the weekends and right on the property accessible to our guests as well as a full convenience store with groceries, gas, snacks, beer, wine, and cocktails, bait and tackle for any food, or boating/fishing/swimming needs.

Location was great. The place was bigger than expected and very clean. We saw live music the night we got there and rented boat the next day. 10/10 can’t wait to go back!!
Great Outing
We love coming to Lake Lemon we fish eat and have a lot of fun. Steve and everyone at the marina make our stay great, the lodge and pontoon we use is always clean and ready to use.
Hopefully we can return again next year for our 5th visit.
Thanks again Steve
See you next year
The whole Roberts Group
Great hot tub, loved the view at the marina and proximity to the convenience store. The kitchen, porch & rooms were spacious. Overall a great place for friends to enjoy!
We enjoyed our mornings with coffee on the covered deck. The bed was great and the whole house was lovely.

Excellent Venue and Outstanding Staff!
We had our team retreat at the LemonLife Lodge at Lake Lemon Marina, and it was a wonderful experience!
The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive from start to finish. They made sure everything was set up exactly as we requested, and the lodge was clean, organized, and ready when we arrived.
We also ordered food from the Lighthouse Café, and it was delicious. The service was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly throughout the day.
Thank you to everyone at the Lodge and the Lighthouse Café for your exceptional hospitality. We truly appreciated all your hard work and would be happy to host another event at this venue in the future!
The house was wonderful, well appointed, comfortable and perfect for gathering. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed to host our family. We loved it!

Wonderful stay at Lemon Life Lodge!
The accommodations were very clean and spacious. Beautiful views of lake. We will certainly stay here again. We fell in love with this area and will be back!
Thank you!
Although not quite what we thought it was (we originally thought it was a house) it was an amazing stay! Steve works just downstairs and did an exceptional job of helping us to find things to do on the lake.
Our host was so very welcoming. He stayed in contact as needed. We've stayed at a lot of rentals, and Lake Lemon Marina VRBO was by far the best equipped. Very spacious inside and out with porch on the lakeside and the 6 person hot tub, firepit, lounging area in the back. This place is well worth the cost. Can't wait to get back!
We were really surprised and impressed by how nice the house/apartment was when we arrived, and the location right on the north side of the lake was great. The hosts were great with communication before and during the stay, and made everything very easy. We would absolutely stay here again during warmer months of the year when we could make use of the boat rentals.
We rented this place to come down for a football game. It was perfect for 4 adults to spend the weekend. Much better than a hotel and location was great!
Had a great time at a well kept and clean property. It was great location to meet family for a quick get away. Will definitely try to get back in the future sometime.
Absolutely loved this place. We had plenty of room for 5 adults and one small dog. We stayed over Thanksgiving and had a great time! We did not use the hot tub but it looked nice. We did use the outside firepit. We had no issues while there. We hope to return in the summer.
Family and pet-friendly. Plenty of room for our large family. We came as beaches and areas were closed for season, so we had less lake access. When we come back, we will come during the season to enjoy the lake more. We had a wonderful weekend!
Wonderful for parties with wheelchair users. Both bathrooms accessible. Two showers no tub. We had a wonderful Christmas Week on the LakeOnly 25 minutes from Bloomington or Nashville yet isolated and peaceful.
Quick Summer getaway between college kids, semesters, and internships
Nice place, convenient boat rental.
Wish there was swimming within walking distance
