About this property

Charlesworth Cottage with lake front access

Relax with the family at this peaceful little cottage hidden away but close to many amenities. It’s 10 minutes from Indiana Beach, 30 minutes from Purdue University, and just a short walk to the Madam Carroll and Sportsman restaurant. It has a friendly neighborhood and includes a dock walking distance from the home. The kids can swim in shallow areas of off the dock. This place is where you will be able to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. May you be blessed by your experience.

Adorable Lake Cottage

This was my second stay at this cottage. I find it very relaxing and was able to sit on the large deck and get some sun even with the cooler temperatures. Very clean and well equipped with everything a person or a family would need. I highly recommend this cottage.

Perfect lake cottage

Thank you for a wonderful stay at your beautiful lake cottage! This was our 3rd annual family trip here and it was just as amazing as the 1st two times! We love hanging by the lake and swimming off the dock as well as cooking and making smores over the bonfire..we make a full day of the lake..thanks for the lake access which is only a short walk away! Cottage has all the amenities of home so this is our home away from home!

Nice Lake Cottage

The property was hard to find at first, but neighbors were nice enough to help us find it. Nice dock and lake was still warm enough to swim.
