À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Kelly and Kevin
We have been visiting Monticello for years enjoying time spent with family and friends who live there and have been kind enough to share their beautiful space on the river with us. Every time we visited, we fell in love with it just a little bit more so we decided to start looking for a vacation home that would also be used as a short term vacation rental property and were blessed to find this home. We want our guests to be very comfortable and we enjoy being able to be a part of making great memories and to help create great experiences!
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
Our home is in a perfect location! Almost at the midpoint between the River and Indiana Beach with great views in every direction.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
My favorite things about our home are the beautiful location, open kitchen, two family rooms, three bathrooms and the large decks! We also have a ramp almost the entire way to the boathouse reducing the number of stairs considerably! And we have plenty of parking spots which is very unusual for the area including a place to park your trailer if you bring your boat!
For every stay we supply little conveniences that make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable in the hopes you will consider staying with us again the next time you visit Monticello!
