Summary: We rented for a celebration after Purdue graduation. The 8 of us (parents and young adults) used all the indoor and outdoor space. It was delightful, and I have never experienced a VRBO that was this well appointed. The beds and extra pillow really spoiled us. It had everything we needed and more. Monticello lost power on our first night, and the owner brought more candles and alerted us to the mini-lanterns ... it was like camping! SO FUN! We really appreciated the extra attention, the second fridge, and extra cooler. Our group enjoyed the tiered decks, really comfy furniture and waving to the boat neighbors. We are in good shape for all the steps!Thank you, Kelly and Ryan!

Summary: House was immaculate with lots of nice touches like cucumber water in the kitchen, bottled water in the fridge, ingredients for s’mores. Only negative is this is not for anyone over about 6’1”. Kitchen has low ceiling and we cooked dinner every night. Top of my head looks like hamburger.

Summary: We were looking to disconnect and spend quality on the lake. Beautiful property, charming decor, well stocked for any cooking/baking needs, and very dog friendly! We loved the boat also and it allowed us to see all of Lake Shafer.

Summary: We use vacation rental properties when we go on vacations and we have never had a property that exceeded our expectations like this one. The owners have thought of every single detail. From the coffee bar to the bedrooms to the stocked bathrooms they have thoughtfully put together an exceptional experience for the traveler. Their knowledge of the area was especially helpful to us. The attention to detail was unparalleled. You will enjoy this lovely home and all it has to offer.

Summary: This is a cute and cozy cottage with an amazing deck and view of the water. The owners were very good at checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The cucumber water, snacks, and coffee bar were extra fun perks! This house is fully stocked with everything you may need (towels, soap, lanterns, etc). We definitely plan to come back.
