Cute and clean

It was exactly as pictured. It was quiet and clean and appeared to have all the comforts of home. We were visiting Purdue(30-40 minute drive away) for family weekend so we did not spend a lot of time here but we enjoyed breakfast on the deck overlooking the water. Host was friendly and very responsive to our questions. We would recommend and stay again.

OLD friends annual reunion

Loved the patio, but not the murky canal. Thought we would have better view of lake. Thanks Caleb for patience with thermostat. Found everything we needed except working wine bottle opener.

Perfect for Friends Get-Away

This was a wonderful place for our group of 3 to have a quiet friends get-away. The home was very clean. The bedrooms were comfortable. The living room area was cozy. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. We especially enjoyed spending time together on the back deck. The hosts were quickly responsive to our questions. We'd definitely return in the future!

Comfortable and Relaxing

We had a comfortable and relaxing stay at this lakeside cottage. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you need like coffee, sugar and spices. We enjoyed grilling out and eating on their back deck. Beds were comfortable. Had a lovely walk in their neighborhood to view Lake Freeman/Tippecanoe River. It is close to amusement park. Hosts are super kind and responsive.

great stay

Very nice, clean property. Great area. We unfortunately did not have much time at the property due to visiting family in the area-we felt it was a wonderful oasis after a long day at Indiana Beach- the very cool air conditioning was a big plus during the recent humid hot weather. Would stay again.
