Check in was difficult with little lighting. The hosts did, however, answer my call and was very helpful with questions about getting key. Showers were the pitts and regulating temperature was nearly impossible. Outlets were old and some didn’t work at all. One bathroom door was difficult to shut. Towels appeared to have been purchased at a garage sale. Property needs a glow up.

We definitely would do it again. My 2 year old granddaughter had a blast, especially when papa was catching the fish off the pier.Shawn was excellent to deal with. He responded quickly on anything that I had needed!!It was great having all the kitchen, utensils, and everything you would need if you were at home!!Thanks again!

Perfect Getaway!

Everything about this property was amazing. We could not have asked for an easier check-in/out process and the property was just as described. We enjoyed the view from the deck every morning and night and even played a couple of games provided by the owners. I would recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy a little getaway with the family as it is very close to the amusement park, drive-in theater, and so many great restaurants.

Clean and convenient location

Used the location due to the proximity to Jasper Pulaski Sandhill Crane Observation Tower. Accommodations were great. Clean and they take pets! Would definitely use again should the need arise!

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.

Comfortable & Clean!

My family of 4 stayed at the cottage for 2 nights while visiting Indiana Beach. Everything was immaculate & we had all the comforts of home. Close to anything we wanted to visit but quiet & secluded so that we could truly unwind. Great property & great hosts!
