Hidden Gem!

We LOVED staying at the Lake Lemon Marina! Unit is awesome with so much space! We had everything we possibly needed in the unit! Cabinets were so well stocked! Great place for a graduation celebration from IU! I only wish I would have discovered it years ago! Great day on the lake as well!

Accurate description

We always stay in VRBOs. This was one of the best! When they say the kitchen is well stocked, it was. When they say it’s clean, it is. Enjoyed our stay immensely.

Plenty of room, beautiful setting

Only issue was the address navigated to the wrong place on Google maps. Just navigate to Lake Lemon marina. Kitchen very well stocked, very clean place. Stayed here since there was no room in Bloomington for homecoming. The setting and quiet were well with it for the 30 minute drive. Would definitely consider staying again!

Lakeside getaway

We had an amazing time. Property managers were absolutely the best! The home is beautiful and had everything we needed. The lake is just a short walk away. We rented the kayak and pontoon and had a lovely time. We had a family of (8) stay very comfortably. Fire pit outside was a perfect way to end a night (firewood was provided). The owners were available if needed and very accommodating. We could have not chose a better place/location. I would give it 10 stars if I could :-) Highly recommend!!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Werner

After 19 years running the Lake Lemon Marina, the Schell family decided to retire from the Marina biz and have passed the torch onto new owners. We, the new owners, are a father/son duo-- Steve (Sr.) and Stephen (Jr.) -- who have spent many seasons at Lake Lemon and have come to love it as much as all of you. We are very thankful to be inheriting and now to build on a solid legacy of hospitality and community service on the Lake.

Big Steve retired at the end of 2021 from his demolition / environmental abatement business after over 20 years and built his new home right down the street from the Marina in 2019. He runs the day-to-day and is the heart and soul of the Marina. Stephen is an attorney most days and an entrepreneur but will be assisting Big Steve as much as possible to make the Marina as great for you as it can be.

Why they chose this property

Because we have been coming here with our family for decades and love the place! It doesn't get better than living the "Lemon Life™" on Lake Lemon nestled between Bloomington and Brown County, Indiana. We want to share this bucolic getaway with more families by providing great accommodations right on the Lake.
