About this property

LemonLife Lodge w/ Lake View & Access, Boat Avail.

The LemonLife Lodge sits above Lake Lemon Marina and has spectacular views of and access to Lake Lemon. Lake Lemon is a hidden gem that straddles Brown County and Monroe County, an equal short drive to Nashville and Indiana University, Bloomington. This is a modern, updated private guest suite perfect for families or groups who want a fun lake getaway. If you have your own boat, launch is included with your rental (contact management for parking your trailer) but lake permit fees are extra. You can also now rent watercraft directly from the Marina during your stay, including Pontoon, kayaks, Stand-Up Paddle Boards (SUPs).

Large private balcony patio overlooking lake and Brown and Monroe County forestry . Back patio/lawn with gas grill and firepit. Master bedroom w/ en suite bathroom, walk-in closet, pack-and-play w/crib, and extra room with fold out couch. Second large bedroom includes bunk beds and a queen bed. Den includes another foldout couch. Hardwood floors, modern kitchen and bathroom fixtures, washer and dryer. Very spacious (nearly 2,200 SF) and great for a family getaway. High-speed Wi-Fi included and Roku access to Cable TV and streaming services.

See Lodge Manual (sent to you after booking) and access policies for details on designated parking and entry to the Lodge suite. In general, you will be sent a temporary access code to access the Lodge Suite and provided a gate access card to enter/exit the Marina after hours. The Suite is private and is not shared with anyone but it sits above the retail store of the Marina (but is fairly insulated from noise) and there can be some activity below.

You can call or e-mail the Marina for anything you need during the stay. Also, text contact will be provided to you for after hours needs. Please visit us in the Marina Store as well for snacks, bait, boat launch, permitting, and rental, mementos and merchandise for your stay.

Stay right in the heart of Lake Lemon at Lake Lemon Marina in beautiful Unionville, Indiana that straddles Brown County and Monroe County and is close to both Nashville and Bloomington (Indiana University). Lake Lemon is a sizeable (same size as Geist Reservoir) but uncrowded lake with unique features like "Little Africa Wildlife Refuge" with swans and lilypads. There is a public beach at Riddle Point across the lake and several coves for swimming. Great fishing, kayaking, or SUP excursions as well. See the Marina's Watercraft Rentals page for more info.

Access the Lake Lemon Marina from the East by coming in from SR 135 to Railroad Rd. / SR45 to Northshore Dr. or I-69/SR 37 (Ohio St. Exit in Martinsville) to Mahalasville Rd. to Low Gap Rd. to North Shore Dr. Lodge Suite is over main Marina building and private (free) parking is in the rear of the building. See map in the Lodge Manual for exact location and access to Marina and Lodge Suite.

See the Marina's Watercraft Rentals page to rent watercraft for your stay.

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!!
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023

About the host

Hosted by Steve Werner

Host profile image
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.

What makes this property unique

The LemonLife Lodge sits above Lake Lemon Marina and has spectacular views of and access to Lake Lemon . Lake Lemon is a hidden gem that straddles Brown County and Monroe County, an equal short drive to Nashville and Indiana University, Bloomington. This is a modern, updated private guest suite perfect for families or groups who want a fun lake getaway. Boat Launch included (lake permit additional fee and contact management for parking launching your own boat). Pontoon, Kayaks, and Stand-up Paddle Boards now available for rent.
