About this property

New! Lakeshore Cottage: Fish, Kayak, Relax, Sunset Deck

Escape to your private lakefront oasis on the shores of Palmer Lake. Whether you are an avid angler, a sunset seeker, or a remote worker looking for a view, "Lakeshore Cottage" is the ultimate tranquil haven.

The Waterfront Experience: Step directly onto your private dock or relax on our unique sandy beach. Explore the water with four provided kayaks (life vests included in the deck box!).

The "Main Event" Deck: Our favorite spot in the world! This large deck features dedicated spaces for dining, lakeside lounging, and gathering by a fire.
Angler’s Paradise: Bring your rod and tackle box—as my husband can testify, there are great varieties of fish right below the dock.

Boat & Beach Ready: Bring your own boat to use at the cottage dock, or simply grab a beverage and a beach chair to catch the late afternoon sun.
Modern Comfort: Enjoy a clean, "homy" interior featuring AC, modern amenities, well equipped kitchenette, and a dedicated workspace for those who need to stay connected.

Local Flavor: Take a 6-minute drive to the village for a casual bite or book a world-class culinary experience at Farrand Hall.

Exterior Camera Disclosure:
For your security and property protection, the exterior of the home is monitored by two motion-triggered cameras that record 15-second clips:
1. Southwest Corner: Monitors the driveway and deck steps; motion also activates a security floodlight at night.
2. Northwest Corner: Monitors the main entry and sliding door access points.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Cline

Host profile image
Kansas City natives and high school sweethearts, Jacob and I have lived in Austin, Dallas, Denver, Nashville, and Minneapolis. These days we call Indianapolis home, and Michigan is one of our favorite escapes. We love the outdoors and enjoy good music and food. We’re devoted to creating a cozy, comfortable, and clean space to escape to and we strive to make sure that we’re putting our best foot forward, each time a new guest arrives.

Why they chose this property

We had been searching for a lakefront retreat for awhile that's close enough to Indianapolis for a weekend getaway. When this property came on the market we came to see it right away. We were skeptical about parts of the area, but once we pulled in the driveway and stepped onto the deck we were in love.

What makes this property unique

The deck is the main event of the place. It's huge, right on the water, and has great areas for eating & lounging. The beach area also gets used a lot by us in the late afternoon to catch some sun & have a beverage. If you like to fish, like my hubby, the dock has some great varieties of fish below. We've worked hard to make the inside clean, comfortable, and homy. We would go there every weekend if we could but since we can't, we are passionate about hosting others who are looking for a lakefront getaway too!
