YOUR OWN PRIVATE 12 ACRE LAKE, 80 ACRES, HOT TUB & GAME BARN

No other property in the state has to offer what this property does, its truly special! Unplug from the daily stress of life and reconnect with your family and nature at this beautiful property. Its your own slice of paradise with 80 acres of hills, forest's and creeks to explore and hike. With so many breath taking views of the lake and hills and so many activities on site you'll never want to leave! Take one of the kayaks or canoe out on the 12 acre lake or go swimming and just have fun seeing all the wildlife. The lake is also fully stocked with all types of fish so you can enjoy fishing year round. After a long fun stress free day unwind in the hot tub or hammocks and enjoy the big stone outdoor fireplace and cook your favorite meal and enjoy it lake side or by either one of our fire pit areas! Let the kids play at the new playground or in the sand and enjoy the beach area. With every rental you can use the 4 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, paddle boat, life jackets, and fishing poles. We also have a climate control game barn that's 1500 sq ft and has: pool table, ping pong, foosball, dart board, basketball hoop, pop a shot arcade, record blue tooth player, checkers and other varies other games. The cabin is newly renovated with updated furniture and very spacious! With high speed internet and a workspace in the loft over looking the first floor this is the perfect cabin for a work/vaca getaway. Also, being in the heart of brown county state, the biggest state park in Indiana, you are just minuets from everything they have to offer. If you enjoy shopping and dinning historic Story Indiana and Nashville is just 15 minuets away.

We really enjoyed our stay at this lake house cabin. It was our second time there - it’s the right size for our group and provides just the right amount mix of room to roam on the property, ability to enjoy the game barn and quiet relaxation in the cabin.

The best getaway!!
Absolutely amazing place with everything you’ll need, to have the best time. Our family spent and celebrated Thanksgiving at the cabin and we could not have picked a better place. A lot to do for every age. Boats, board games, Karaoke, jacuzzi, breath taking nature, I could go on and on. Definitely recommend this place and hope to be back soon.

Great Time!
The property is gorgeous. We had a great time walking around and taking in the views. It was very thorny, so dress appropriately. Our stay was in November so ticks weren’t much of an issue, but in warmer months expect the ticks to be pretty bad. The owner says to bring bug spray and they mean it! We spent a very chilly and rainy day in the game barn, which was great and thankfully heated! The pool table adds some special challenges to a friendly game, but don’t expect a well balanced slate table. We had a lot of fun with it regardless. Because it was cold we didn’t get to use the boats, but they had plenty and the lake is beautiful. Beds were cozy and the house was perfect for our crew of 6 adults. Would love to go back in the summer with the kids.

This is a great location and the place was clean when we arrived. However we had a minor injury and thought it a bit tacky that they charged us 72.00 to replace a sheet and mattress pad which could have easily been washed out

Beautiful, private getaway!
One of our favorite vrbo stays ever. Loved the pvt lake, the beach, and all the kayaks and paddle boards. The kids ( and we adults as well) were by the water sun up until after dark. Wonderful outdoor amenities!!! Loved the privacy of the property. The house was super comfortable, great kitchen, and plenty of room for all of us. We had hoped to stay there again next Labor Day weekend but it was already booked. Because of our stories, our cousins have booked this property for their family next June. We hope to return again.

We had a wonderful time! Beautiful property!
Great experience and beautiful property! Only suggestions would be to provide toiletries that are often forgotten like shampoo/conditioner etc. My experience in similar properties and prices had coffee, creamer, shampoo/conditioner, etc provided to guests. For the price I expected beds to be a little more comfortable, investing in new mattresses and definitely new mattress pads could be a good idea, too. The map that was supposed to show the trail around the lake was no where to be found, we ventured out and found one but it just didn't go all the way around and it was too overgrown to hike early on. Close enough to hard truth, downtown shopping and wineries and the state park. Overall great experience!

Beautiful property
Lovely property in the literal middle of nowhere. Very quiet and serene. There was miscommunication between the owner and cleaning lady who didn’t think anyone was staying there that weekend and we were left with a slightly dirty cabin. The master bathroom looked like it hadn’t been touched with toothpaste splatter, hair and makeup all over the sink. The toilet desperately needed cleaning. We had to assist the making of the basement bed and the other beds didn’t appear to have fresh sheets. Looked like just made from the prior guests. Dirty dishes in the cabinet and all the kitchen towels had food stuck on them. For what we paid for a weekend stay, I expected a cleaner facility. The outdoor space is lovely. Welcoming and beautiful. The game barn wasn’t anything special and we didn’t even use it, just walked around to look at it. Overall, our group would stay there again but we would need to ensure proper cleanliness prior to checking in.

Family weekend in a beautiful setting and property, the cabin was well equipped and worked well for what we needed with ample space and sleeping options. The view from the master bedroom and living room is amazing, and their is plenty of fun to be had between the lake and game barn to keep the whole family busy all weekend. Definitely a gem, hope to be back again!

Perfect Family Getaway
We had a wonderful time at the lake house! We had 3 generations and it was perfect. The rental was clean and well stocked. We spent 3 nights and the old folks had as much fun as the young ones. Lake house has enough room to spread out and have a little privacy if needed. Our time was spent enjoying the lake. Daytime water activities with the paddleboards and kayaks and canoe. Just bouncing around in the water with the littles in their lifejackets. We fished ALOT and had the best time catching blue gill, bass, and catfish. Bring bait! We didnt see a paddleboat anywhere so it may he out of commision? The game barn was nice but we spent our time at the water. Kitchen has everything imaginable . Only downside was serving spoons are running low and oven temp seemed way off . Easy fixes. Overall this place is a 5 especially for the fun and family atmosphere it provides. Highly recommend. We will be back!

Beautiful property but I was disappointed with my communications with the owner
The property is absolutely lovely. I was informed two days prior to renting that the hot tub was not operational and would not be fixed until two days before our checkout. I asked the owner about a partial refund-the response was an unequivocal “NO” because it wasn’t their fault and the rental agreement stated as much. It is accurate that the agreement states this but the hot tub was one of the primary reasons we were renting this property. My grandkids love to “swim” and the lake was too full of leeches to enjoy swimming. I just want potential renters to beware that there is no reasonably negotiating with the owners even if it wasn’t our fault that the hot tub wasn’t operational. The cottage was well stocked and we had a wonderful time but we won’t be returning.
