About this property

Zettler Cottage - waterfront with sunset view

** We only rent WEEKLY in the summer, Friday to Friday. Please click Check Calendar for availability //**

This is a family cottage at O'Connor's Point, on the rural eastern side of Indian Lake. In 2007, the cottage was built replacing the original "Zettler Cottage" built 1927. It is just south of O'Connor's Point, near the former site of O'Connor's Landing, and
can be reached via the Covered Bridge which crosses the south fork of the Little Miami River. The lake is the headwaters for the Great
Miami River.

It rests along 6000 acre Indian Lake facing west, green space to the north, and farm land with a network of country roads behind it for an early
morning jog, walk, or trip on bikes during wonderful sunrises to the
red covered bridge, just 1.5 miles away. Great lake and sunset
views will be enjoyed from the lakefront covered porch and sunny patio. In 2024, this patio was completely replaced, and now has 4 levels of lake views via the porch, the dining and gathering level, the bar and fire pit level, and then the lakeside level for water’s edge seating. You’re really going to love it.

It is fully furnished. Four bedrooms, each with a full bath, and a first floor half bath, means a very comfortable stay for 8-10 people. All four bedrooms have a full bathroom (new for 2021), thus offering four full suites. A large recreation room is above garage with a flat panel TV. The main family room has 75" TV and the bedrooms have TV's as well. ROKU devices for all, and a property (complimentary) subscription to YouTube TV streaming for all of the regular channels. The kitchen has granite counter tops, an island, wet bar, and bead-board cabinetry.

Indian Lake is a fisherman and boater's paradise. Fishing,
boating, tubing, swimming, and water skiing are all permitted on the
lake. There is extra parking for cars, boats and boat trailers right next to the cottage. A complimentary Universal Tesla Level 2 EV charger (NACS & J1772) is mounted in the garage. It will charge both Tesla and non-Tesla EV's.

Although summer is fun in the sun, many locals regard the fall
as the best time of year, thanks to the tranquility along with the
gorgeous fall foliage. For the winter, it is located 15 minutes
from Mad River Mountain Ski Resort and there is plenty of room for
snowmobiling. With spring comes the fisherman and many participate
in the lake's numerous bass tournaments. Saugeye, a fish similar to walleye, are also sought after and have gained the lake national
attention.

This house and property is wonderful for a family vacation. Clean and well equipped. The bedrooms with their own bathrooms are great. The kitchen had everything we needed. Despite much rain and storms during our stay we enjoyed the terrace when able. The bonus room is perfect to play games and watch movies. This was our second family vacation here and we hope to be back!

Me and my 5 besties have rented this property for many years, sometimes twice/year. We love it!! The home is amazing and the view is unmatched! Great covered porch area- so even if it’s rainy, you can be outside. Awesome outdoor furniture on all 3 levels of the porch/paved patio/lakeside seating areas.Owners responded promptly anytime messages needed to be exchanged. Newer appliances, updated kitchen. Lovely!

Wonderful property. Our Quad Squad got together for a fun weekend. We visited in November, so not much “lake” time. Enjoyed the wrap around porch and the fire pit. The room above the garage was great for watching football. It’s a great spot with beautiful views.

Great Outdoor Space!

My family and sisters family had a great time, spent hours on the lake each day boating, paddling and floating. Wonderful outdoor space allowed us to spread out and have a great time. Sunsets are stunning and it is a quiet area.

Five seniors had a nice time at the Zettler Cottage in July 2026. The house is very nice. En-suite bathrooms worked great as did the extra bar refrigerator. Beautiful sunset every night. House is very accommodating, nicely situated on the lake, is well stocked, has A/C and ceiling fans, good water, plenty of outdoor seating areas, a canoe, dock, and great firepit with wood supplied. Had some trouble getting the damp wood started, but then the host's father came over with a starter log and graciously got us a good memorable fire...we are so thankful for Tom's kindness. Vrbo doesn't permit check-in communication before the arrival day, which doesn't consider that guests are already packed and traveling during that time. The day before is generally when we have the most questions and need quick direct communications. We do not have a smart phone or texting capabilities; and even if we did, getting directions, check-in codes, etc. would be inconvenient as one is trying to insure all the group has what they need. In this case the host requested text communication while there...which we couldn't do when the ceiling fan remote needed reset. Feeling disadvantaged as well as inept with electronics, we chose to avoid turning on any of the six TVs and a sophisticated house-wide sound system. Maybe simple written instructions could be readily available.Also make sure you allow some of your vacation time for required housekeeping duties.
