About the host

Hosted by Heidi

Host profile image

We built this home in 2017 to bring our extended family together while maintaining privacy for each family unit. Our builder questioned the floor plan, but we knew what we needed—a vacation home designed for gathering, not everyday living. It works beautifully, as our reviews confirm.
We love this place so much that we decided to share it with other families. Hosting wedding parties, memorials, birthdays, and family celebrations has become our greatest joy. Many guests return year after year, and we hope your family will too.

What makes this property unique

A very rare property… you get 102 feet of private Lake Shafer waterfront AND a 5-minute walk to Indiana Beach Amusement & Water Park. That combination is almost unheard of—lake serenity meets family fun without anyone getting in a car. We custom-designed this home specifically for multi-family and multi-generational groups—15 guests sleep comfortably in three separate zones, each with private bedrooms, bathrooms, and hallways. Everyone gets their own space, but you'll want to gather in the great room, screened porches, hot tub or around the fire pits by the lake. From toddlers to grandparents, there's something for everyone at Piper House.
