Surrounded by lush evergreen trees in the front and side of property, with seasonal trees and foliage in the backyard during the spring and summer months, this picturesque home is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and Twin Lakes tourism.

The house features upper and lower levels with multiple rooms, ideal for families or groups of friends. It contains all your basic necessities to start you off. Overall, it is an ideal get-away location that encourages relaxation yet it is close to a variety of local shopping and attractions for when you desire to be more active.

We used this vrbo for parents weekend at purdue. It worked out great. The house is very clean and has plenty of room for 5 of us and a small dog. the drive between the campus and the house is nice easy driving. The house is walking distance to stores, but when you're fishing on the river, you feel like you're out in the countryyour

Excellent communication from owner

The location was perfect for our events that we attended and ended up being right down the road from everything we did. The older house was very well kept up and we would have enjoyed more time there but our trip got cut short for other reasons. The communication by the owners was quick and very responsive and they were flexible with our adjusted schedule. The walk down to the dock was fun and standing there watching the river flow by was very relaxing.

Once Again, a great place to stay!

This was our second time staying here. We go to the Hops & Coaster Drops event at Indiana Beach every year. This place never disappoints. Always clean and very roomy for a decent size group, easy check in process, peaceful, fantastic location, very close to grocery stores, restaurants, and the amusement park. Looking forward to booking again next year! Thank you again for sharing your home with us!

Our stay

Very pleasant, quiet and clean. Only thing I have to say about the house is that the stairs were extremely steep to get down to the boat. My husband and I are in our 70s and there was no way we could use them.

Nice

The one negative aspect of the property is the very dangerous 50+ stairs down to the dock. They are hard to navigate empty handed, it's about impossible to carry something. The boating was a huge disappointment, the river is narrow, shallow and mostly "no wake" zones. The house was clean,comfortable, well equipped and the host was very accommodating and answered all questions quickly. I recommend it if boating isn't your vacation priority.

We had eleven in our group, with plenty of room. The kids had a blast fishing and of course close to Indiana Beach. The amenities were exactly as they said. We all had a great time and will come back again! Forgot to mention how peaceful and beautiful it is by the lake.

House with wooded lot,great deck and open spaces

This was the perfect house for 3 ladies to hang out and catch up. Huge deck that had constant shade. Roomy main areas of the house that were spotlessly clean. Very comfortable beds. Convenient to local restaurants and not far from 65. The river/lake area is just over the hill and within close view.The best part- dog friendly!! We would stay here again.

Living the life

What an incredible place to stay. This home offers everything. The lake was a hit for our kids. They spent a few days laying in the sun and floating in tubes. The deck was nice and cool with the mature trees surrounding the backyard. Our family loved every minute here. The house was clean and inviting. We can't wait to come back!!!

Monticello Visit

This is an ideal location for adults looking for a quiet getaway with a spectacular view, which peers down approximately 50' to the river which is accessible via steep cinder block stairs etched into the landscape. The well laid out cottage is very comfortable and close to restaurants and shopping. The cottage was also nicely appointed with cooking utensils and bathroom supplies. We had a great time!
