Family & Friends Getaway

This was a great location on the lake and a short walk to the amusement park. You can fish off of the dock, go boating with your boat or rent one just a walk away, play shuffle board or a variety of other outdoor/indoor games at the property, or have a quiet night sitting by the fire while looking at the lake.

About the host

Hosted by Kathy

Host profile image

I bought this house years ago as a way to bring my family together for summer outings. I have had many great events at the lake house and want to open the property to others to create great memories.

Why they chose this property

Walking distance to Indiana Beach for go-and -return break at the lake house. Monticello has many fun things to do and great restaurants. But if you want to relax, the lake house has all you need for fun and relaxation with the beautiful lake view from the deck.

What makes this property unique

This 1926 house has great character...and many renovations to make it modern in every way. Legend has it that the house next door was Al Capone's summer house! The house is heated so it can be an off season place to stay while going to Purdue football games!
