The cleanliness of the bedrooms and bathrooms was exceptional. The views from the back deck was relaxing and just what everyone needed. The host was very responsive and provides a lot of extra perks (smores, coffee, soap, laundry detergent) that other VRBO hosts do not. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. We rented the pontoon one day and went to Indiana Beach another day. Both of these excursions were convenient and enjoyed by all. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sandra K. 26 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Long weekend 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. ##### Sandra K.

We had everything we needed and then some — Kelly went out of her way to make sure of it! From complimentary bath supplies to a s’mores kit, cucumber water and snacks — we felt very spoiled. Kelly even drove down to bring us more wine glasses! We barely moved from our perch on the back porch for 3 days. The shady pergola and breezes off the water made it completely comfortable even though the feels-like temp was in the 90s. Don’t hesitate to rent this cottage. ##### Mary G.

Can’t wait to back! ##### Deana S.
