We really loved the cottage, it was so cozy and so spacious enough for our group of 12, the check in was really easy to do, the kitchen was adorable and having available wi-fi was awesome, we all are hoping to come and stay again next year. Also the owners are very nice and made us feel at home.

Relaxing Getaway

Beautiful building with a very rustic vibe inside. The view of the lake and the park from the back patio was picturesque. Despite being so close to the park, noise was not a problem.

Best location

This cottage is located right next to the south entrance of Indiana Beach, which was very convenient. We also enjoyed fishing off of the pier while watching the rollercoasters. We had such a great time!

Perfect location. Home is clean and spacious. Central air plus room air conditioners kept us nice and cool. With smaller kids, it was an easy walk from the park to the house for afternoon naps. Owners are great.

Great stay next door to Indiana Beach.

Very clean. Ruth was wonderful. Big rooms with good kitchen. Walk to Indiana Beach was about 4 minutes. p.s. bring your own Roku stick and extra floor fans. We will return to this house.

Family get away

Location was unbelievable, we have parked farther away from the entrance. House was perfect for 12 of us, location on the lake was perfect, dock was very nice and fire pit area was great. There was nothing to complain about and the owner always responded immediately when I sent her a message.

Charming house on Lake Shafer

This charming house was very clean and spacious. Location to Indiana Beach is outstanding. The hosts were super friendly and very accommodating. We enjoyed floating in the lake off the deck (conveniently located in the no wake zone). If you prefer a little separation from the boardwalk and/or privacy but still want to be walking distance to IB, this is the place for you. We will be back!

Awesome home with all the amities

Ruth is a great host! Our grandkids love this place greatly because of the proximity to Indiana Beach. we would take the young one's home for their nap while the older kids would stay. we were able to go back and forth as we desired. We rented a pontoon boat for 2 days and docked by their pier. we are already making plans for next summer.

Good location! Clean and had a stocked kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Nice open space for family gathering. The view of the lake was covered by trees and the steps down to the pier are a bit uneven. Furniture is older, house is older and rustic, not updated. Bringing all the sheets, blankets and towels we needed was a lot to pack. Would have been nice if those things were provided. But we had fun and enjoyed our stay so that was the main thing!
