This property has hosted our family of 4 for three summers in a row & we will keep coming back! The home is in excellent condition & has everything that we need to be comfortable. It is in close proximity to all of our favorite area activities while having a secluded & relaxing setting. 5 stars for good reason!

A place to sleep, but needs fixed up and updated.
Walking into this place it looked great. It was clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. The ice maker in the fridge was nice to have. However the house needs fixed up in some areas. In the bathroom the flooring is buckling near the tub, which could be a fall risk with wet feet. The dryer did not dry, so we had to pack wet clothes and bring them home. The curtain brackets were loose and seemed like they were about to fall out of the wall while we adjusted the curtains. The legs of the glass coffee table were wiggly. Traveling with two kids 2 and under, I was worried the legs were going to break everytime they bumped into the coffee table. Overall, this house provided us with a comfortable place to sleep, and a kitchen to cook in, but I would not stay again.

The property itself needs some TLC. It’s not a bad place to stay but doesn’t appear it’s been updated or kept up on. Both bolts had fallen out of one of the beds causing the headboard to hit the wall anytime you moved. The bracket for one of the blinds was missing a piece so when you tried to adjust it the entire thing fell. The deck next to the water was overgrown causing it to be very difficult to walk on it.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great Place
This is our second time staying here. Very clean and comfortable home. Great location close to Lake Freeman and Tall Timbers where we dock our boat. Shawn is a great host. Very responsive, and easy to work with. We lost our dog a few weeks before our trip to cancer. We had planned to bring her on this trip. She was with us the first time we stayed here and she loved the house. Shawn was so sympathetic and it meant alot to us during this difficult time. We will be back again. Thank you so much for everything.

Quiet and cozy
We had a group of six at this cottage gor 2 nights. We were all pleased with the cottage! It was clean and well stocked with pretty much any household items or amenities you could ask for. The beds were comfortable and even though it's a small cottage, all six of us stayed very comfortably and never felt cramped. The deck is fantastic. The grill works but isn't the greatest, but the seating and the fireplace make it a great place to hang out near the water. Dock is great for fishing but a smaller step down would make kayaking right from their property much easier. There is also a loose step on the deck which needs attention. I'm sure the property owners will have fixed it before anyone even reads this review. It's nice and quiet in the evening. All electricity and plumbing worked great. Things in the home are a little dated. I only mention this because it seems to matter to some people. If you're looking for a brand new luxury stay, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a cozy comfortable and adorable place to relax, you've found it. We all enjoyed our stay and before we even left our friends and family were thinking about the next trip! We will happily stay here again in the future.

Our family had a great stay at this house. Very quiet area and very relaxing. Canal behind the house spits you right out on the lake. Quick drive to many restaurants and Indiana Beach. House was clean and big enough to keep everyone happy with their own space. Enjoyed nights on the back deck. Looking forward to getting back there again soon to explore the area more. A hidden gem for sure! Thank you for having us!
