GREAT place that has everything you need for a quick or long stay. The back room that overlooks the water is so cozy and other than being outside is where we spent most of our time. We plan on coming back!

Beautiful Lake House in Monticello!

We stayed 4 days, going to Indiana Beach, fishing and swimming. The house was perfect for our family of 6, and had everything we could have needed during our stay. Beautifully decorated, clean, relaxing and breathtaking lake view! The owners communicated quickly and answered all our questions. We would definitely stay again!

What an ideal setting for a family gathering. Beautiful setting. Spacious living and dining spaces with a fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the firepit on the shore and the outdoor grills for meal preparation. There were more stairs than we expected (two stories in the house and two three levels of decks, but all stairs had railings and were safe. Kim and Greg were more than accommodating to our questions and unique situation. Parking is tight but adequate for a large gathering. We have nothing but wonderful memories of a weekend together on the lake. Already talking about a return.

Great stay. We brought more than just food but food would have been all we needed. The house had everything else we would have needed. Especially liked the Blackstone grill for making smashburgers. Liked how the main living area was all on 1st floor and all the bedrooms were on upper level. Would definitely stay here again if the area is in our vacation plans again.

This stay was for a reunion of friends from Purdue. We attended the football game. The accommodations fit our needs perfectly for our group size. Room were clean, bathrooms were well stocked, and kitchen had everything we needed. Loved having the grills to cook out. The multi-level deck was awesome. Our host did a great job communicating with me, and responding quickly to my questions. Would highly recommend this lake home.

What makes this property unique

This house is on Lake Shafer, ten minutes boat/car ride to Indiana Beach and several lakeside restaurants. Multiple decks and outdoor sitting areas face the west to enjoy beautiful sunsets. Spend time outdoors swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding, or just relax and watch the boats go by. The house is very close to two bays for calm water activities. We provide two grills and a large outdoor table for family cookouts. Evenings can be spent cozy around the lakefront firepit or fire table right next to the water. Two of the large bedrooms have stunning views of the lake! The upstairs loft is cozy and quiet for additional relaxing space in the house.
