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.

Lake House
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!

Property was clean! We enjoyed being not too far away from Purdue and Indianapolis on our weekend trip to see the total eclipse with our friends. We were able to comfortably cook dinner every night. A few of our friends did wish the pillows were more supportive.

BIG 10 Football Getaway
Chose this property to take father to Purdue/Ohio State football game. Picked location based on it's riverside position and ability to sleep 4 adults comfortably plus ease of access to Purdue. Property was clean and had everything we needed for a weekend stay. It allowed us all to hang out comfortably in one location and was equal to or less than the cost of the hotels closer to the stadium. Binder of property info and directions was detailed and user friendly. Wished the stairs down to river were a bit more stable.

Weekend Tranquility
About 40 beautiful county driving minutes from Purdue. Wonderful weekend getaway, or in our case, family weekend at Purdue. Our son enjoyed staying with us and getting away from campus for a few days. Great location in Monticello right on Lake Freeman. Deck and patio combine for the perfect, tranquil setting under large, mature trees and natural landscape down to the dock. Morning coffee never felt so right. House is clean and quaint, with all your basic amenities, plus a nice TV, board games and kitchen essentials. Lots of natural light, plus rooms are all well equipped with ample, touch lamps. Grocery store only a few minutes away. Neighborhood is nice a quiet with everyone having fairly large lots. Eager to return. You’ll enjoy your stay here!

This was an amazing stay. Very secluded and quiet which I enjoyed. The view was darling. Spacious, the couch was so comfortable. Teresa had everything if you forgot anything !! Which was a blessing. I loved the dock. watch your step tho as instructed. The patio was lovely very big. We didn't get a chance to use our movie projector (Next time ;) ) but we loved this house....A GEM !! Great for families although you must watch your children out back its a steep drop down to the lake. The host were nice, the never bothered us. Always quick to respond. thanks Teresa !! until next time :)
