These wonderful people have thought of every thing to help out families and they were a dream to work with. We loved the property and the people just made it that much better. They had things to help.in case you forgot stuff ( shampoo conditioner etc.) Toys for the kids and the decor was simply wonderful. The most relaxing place I have stayed in a long time. I wish our whole trip could have been as amazing as this cabin on the water. Also every message sent to the host was answered immediately and they were kind enough to grant a late check out due to our circumstances. Thank you.

This property has it all! Great location and close to anything you may need. Home is very accommodating and has all the comforts of home. Very clean home! Beautiful views from the huge deck off the kitchen/dining rooms! Hammock and swing to relax in out of the sun under the deck! A for fishing! We caught fish everyday we were there! The river is very calming to watch as the sun comes up! The restaurant up the way has live music that we enjoyed listening to as we fish late into the night. Very easy to find your way around if you need bait or general shopping. The family USA restaurant is a must! Best food around in our opinion! We enjoyed the drive-in that is just down the road too! We would love to return in the fall. I imagine the change of colors will make for awesome viewing from across the lake. Book now! You will not be disappointed. Thank you for a wonderful trip making family memories!

Perfect Stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at your house on the river! The home was very clean, beds were comfortable and the view was so peaceful! The family really enjoyed fishing and the set-up even allowed a toddler to run around and play in the backyard! Everything was very spacious for us and we had everything we needed! Thank you so much for your hospitality and thank you for the special treats upon arrival!

Lovely stay

Loved our time here. Great communication & clearly a lot of care had been taken to make sure all aspects of our stay were enjoyable. We had beautiful weather and really enjoyed the outdoor areas as well, got to watch herons, eagles, & a family of baby geese visiting the river. We were also pleased to find a nice fenced area below the top deck for our boys to play that had a yard game & places to relax. Conveniently located too, would definitely stay again.

Graduation weekend stay

It was a perfect place to stay away from the hub bub of graduation at Purdue. Quiet and relaxing after long days of graduation and parties. Loved the fishing off the pier and the large outdoor deck overlooking the river. Much easier for the 85 yo mother/grandmother to enjoy her grand daughter’s graduation from Pharmacy school. Her pride and joy.

Awesome family getaway

We stayed for a week, while visiting Indiana Beach. What an amazing house! Every need was catered for with a very well stocked house. Great deck at the back for early morning coffee and sundowners after a long, hot day! Comfortable and big enough for our whole family! It felt like being home- a very stylish home! We will definitely be back!
