About this property

Lakefront home near Nashville, IN, Bloomington, IN, and Indiana University

  • Relive the 60's in our Strawberry Fields lake house. Nestled in the Monroe/Brown County hills on beautiful Lake Lemon. Serving families as a guest house since 2001 and was a residence since 1957 making it a very old lake house, nothing fancy! We love pets so bring your dog or cat or parrot!
    Outside there is a boat dock and swimming/beach area, as well as a large yard and a panoramic view of the lake. Strawberry Fields is perfect for families and gatherings. It offers the ultimate in kid-friendly accommodation with its gently sloped access to the lake, and a large but flat backyard that is ideal for throwing Frisbee or playing croquet. There is a fire pit, a charcoal grill and plenty of chairs on the deck. Great place to watch the sunset!

    This whimsical Monroe County getaway comfortably sleeps nine with a queen bed on the main floor, a queen, single bed and a trundle in the upstairs master bedroom,and a queen and single bed in the other upstairs bedroom.

    It is conveniently located 11 miles from both Bloomington and Nashville. Note that after four guests there is an additional $7.50 per person charge. Check calendar for current prices, they fluctuate.
    20 hours a week is spent on just this house cleaning, yard work, shoreline attention. We opened in 2001 and an average of $3000/ year has been spent on maintaining and improving property.

    There is a shared dock, we might have our boat on one side and will come down to use it occasionally. The other side of the dock is available for a boat.
    The outdoor pool listed is actually the LAKE! There was no way to check for lake.
    We previously offered a hot tub but do not anymore,sorry.

Lake Lemon Stay

Great location and home. No hot tub as listed, not cleaned well, ceiling in kitchen leaked water when it rained. I cleaned everything I touched basically but this house would still be amazing for a low key summer break stay with friends to enjoy the lake.

Just what we needed

We needed a place with multiple bedrooms for family weekend at IU and this home provided us with everything we needed. It was a quick 20 minute drive to campus plus we had space for our family and dog and a great view of Lake Lemon. If you are looking for something fancy, this may not be your answer, but if you need space for extra people, a pet, and enjoy lake life, this may be for you.

Girl's Trip

The lake view was outstanding. The kayaks allowed us to see the lake and sounding area better. We had a great time. We knew the place was an old farmhouse, but the house needs updating. There was a lot of stuff in the house which made it cluttered. My suggestion would be to remove most of the decorations in the living room and dining room to allow for space to congregate.

Lovely Lake View

Absolutely loved the outdoor space - double swing on the shore, fire pit, back deck off the dining room & kitchen, gorgeous view of the lake! Indoors is very 1960s - Beatles and LOTS of memorabilia from the time. If you're an old hippie, you'll love it. If you're fancy, not so much. It's all a matter of what you like. It was just fine for four women who were born in the early 1960s and raised on farms near a small town. Love the owner, honest and down to earth, great communication, very responsive to our requests. Lots of sleeping spaces for families and welcoming to pets. Enjoyed our time there.

Great Location - not so great accommodations

This home sits right on Lake Lemon with its own dock which was so convenient. The lake is beautiful and not too much traffic. You are required to anchor down and swim in designated areas but overall being in the water was fantastic. The home has great bones - hardwood floors and pine walls and cabinets and a stone fireplace were so pretty. But the cleanliness and decor need improvement Both inside and outside the home was cluttered and not very clean. The lawn had not been maintained and weeds around things in the yard were extremely tall. Poison ivy and spiders about got us all! We had a blast despite the home feeling chaotic and not very clean. There are so many eclectic decorations on walls and sitting around on shelves that the home itself felt chaotic. She has a diamond in the rough and some TLC and decluttering would make this home a 10. But as it sits we would not stay here again.

Family wedding on Lake Lemon

First things first-we LOOOOVE this little house. It’s charming and inviting and the absolutely perfect views and location. We had our daughter’s family which included our 9 & 10 year old grandsons with us the first night and they explored and played ping pong for HOURS! The second night we only had our 2 year old grand daughter and she explored and played with all the toys, and on the swing set. She did not want to leave. There were games and tv with several channels and a dvd player with a lot of movies. The AC was great and the beds and pillows were very comfortable (all 3 queen sizes were great) The 4 star rating for cleanliness is because much of it is dated and many of the dishes (washed by previous guests we’re assuming) were dirty and placed randomly in cabinets. We own a cabin and love it, this place feels more like that than a spic n span lake house. We prefer this however one of our guests didn’t stay. Because of it. If you’re wanting fancy, spotless place, this isn’t it. If you’re laid back, want cozy and great views with reasonable prices and walkability to a super cool bar/resturant, this is it! We even watched the IU rowing teams practice! Love it here!!

We've stayed here for two summer vacations and a fall break the past two years. The house has a very cute strawberry theme. We love the location, lot, and amenities - the pea gravel ramp is great for both kids and kayaks/Sunfish sailboats to launch into the lake, and the back lawn is wonderful for yard games. Also appreciate the availability of the kayaks, lily pad, extra life jackets, and Tonka trucks, and there's bound to be the tool you need in the kitchen. The beds / bedrooms are clean, and there's plenty of extra towels. We wiped down the kayaks and paddles we wanted to use, which was no problem - happy to have them. Pet friendly is another bonus. We find great value here and appreciate this is a 1950s lake cottage that has been a family gathering place for Sura Gail's family for years. Sura is also environmentally focused, and we appreciate she provides, e.g., cloth rags to use in addition to paper towels and recycling options. We look forward to returning.

If you are looking for a cookie cutter, private equity (kicking out locals), clean and white, lake house, look elsewhere and spend out your butt. If you are looking for what these sorts of sites use to be, and a true lake house, this is for you. It is smaller, it is older, it could absolutely use updating, but it was amazing. My kids loved it, dog loved it, we love it, why the heck would I want anything else?
