Stayed here with my husband, and two kids to see my older son graduate from Purdue. It was about 30 minutes to the campus, which wasn't so bad. The rental was beautiful, pics don't do it justice. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. There were also plenty of linens and towels for everyone. My 10-year-old daughter stayed in the loft and loved having that space. Overall, I would def stay here again and recommend it to friends. Very easy to communicate with the manager, even though I didn't really need to speak with her except to check in and check out, since we didn't have any problems. Thank you for letting us stay here for this very special occasion in our lives.

Perfect Getaway

We had a fantastic stay at the lakeside cottage! It was a perfect little place with a wonderful view of the lake. The huge deck was a big plus and many places to sit in the shade and sun. A great spot to fish off the dock and the place had all the things we needed to make our weekend wonderful.

We had a great stay. Lots of deck with good views of the lake. The location is quiet and peaceful. The only small issue we had was very low water pressure inside the cabin, especially in the kitchen and then some wasps around the deck but nothing some raid wouldn’t take care of. Overall it was a wonderful trip!! I’d recommend this place to any family wanting a lake getaway.

The decor is nice and not dated or overly complex. The place is quiet and peaceful...just what we needed. The owner was responsive and all that was advertised was true. Enjoyed our stay very much.

Grace was AWESOME to work with. So accommodating and helpful in planning activities to do while there. Home very clean and well maintained, deck area and swimming in the lake so peaceful. Enjoyed coffee overlooking lake every morning, and s'mores by fire pit every night. Many upgraded luxuries too, including some thoughtful toiletries and cooking items! Would highly recommend and may go again!

Great Getaway for Work OR Fun

Gorgeous, comfortable home with all the amenities. We enjoyed the deck and stairs down to the lake, the comfortable beds and the spacious living area. We were there for a work retreat, and the natural light pouring through the large windows was wonderful ... as well as a great place to put postit notes while we were thinking out loud! We will be BACK next year! Thank you Grace! (Also found the Oak and Barrel restaurant to be outstanding)
