Lake Front Home close to Nashville IN, Bloomington IN and Indiana University

Relive the 60's in our Strawberry Fields lake house. Nestled in the Monroe/Brown County hills on beautiful Lake Lemon. Serving families as a guest house since 2001 and was a residence since 1957 making it a very old lake house, nothing fancy! We love pets so bring your dog or cat or parrot!
Outside there is a boat dock and swimming/beach area, as well as a large yard and a panoramic view of the lake. Strawberry Fields is perfect for families and gatherings. It offers the ultimate in kid-friendly accommodations with its gently sloped access to the lake, and a large but flat backyard that is ideal for throwing Frisbee or playing croquet. There is a fire pit, a charcoal grill and plenty of chairs on the deck. Great place to watch the sunset!

This whimsical Monroe County getaway comfortably sleeps nine with a queen bed on the main floor, a queen, single bed and a trundle in the upstairs master bedroom,and a queen and single bed in the other upstairs bedroom.

It is conveniently located 11 miles from both Bloomington and Nashville. Note that after four guests there is an additional $7.50 per person charge. Check calendar for current prices, they fluctuate.
20 hours a week is spent on just this house cleaning, yard work, shoreline attention. We opened in 2001 and an average of $3000/ year has been spent on maintaining and improving property.

There is a shared dock, we might have our boat on one side and will come down to use it occasionally. The other side of the dock is available for a boat.
The outdoor pool listed is actually the LAKE! There was no way to check for lake.
We previously offered a hot tub but do not anymore,sorry.

It was okay
The house and property were nice with the water front but as we were there, the owner of the house kept popping up During our stay conversating and having an Attitude And then on the day of departure was 11 o'clock. And the owner was there at 9:30 in the morning. Watching us as we were cleaning up. Then also One of our friends we're walking on the deck and fell through As many things of this property were very old and not well maintained. We had fun but I would never stay there again

Great Location - not so great accommodations
This home sits right on Lake Lemon with its own dock which was so convenient. The lake is beautiful and not too much traffic. You are required to anchor down and swim in designated areas but overall being in the water was fantastic. The home has great bones - hardwood floors and pine walls and cabinets and a stone fireplace were so pretty. But the cleanliness and decor need improvement Both inside and outside the home was cluttered and not very clean. The lawn had not been maintained and weeds around things in the yard were extremely tall. Poison ivy and spiders about got us all! We had a blast despite the home feeling chaotic and not very clean. There are so many eclectic decorations on walls and sitting around on shelves that the home itself felt chaotic. She has a diamond in the rough and some TLC and decluttering would make this home a 10. But as it sits we would not stay here again.

Lovely Lake View
Absolutely loved the outdoor space - double swing on the shore, fire pit, back deck off the dining room & kitchen, gorgeous view of the lake! Indoors is very 1960s - Beatles and LOTS of memorabilia from the time. If you're an old hippie, you'll love it. If you're fancy, not so much. It's all a matter of what you like. It was just fine for four women who were born in the early 1960s and raised on farms near a small town. Love the owner, honest and down to earth, great communication, very responsive to our requests. Lots of sleeping spaces for families and welcoming to pets. Enjoyed our time there.

Great location - needs attention
The water is beautiful and the yard is nice - we wished we would have brought tents and just slept outside. The house is old and old is ok - dirty is not. While i appreciate the work the owner puts into keeping up with the property, the home needs a professional deep clean.

Girl's Trip
The lake view was outstanding. The kayaks allowed us to see the lake and sounding area better. We had a great time. We knew the place was an old farmhouse, but the house needs updating. There was a lot of stuff in the house which made it cluttered. My suggestion would be to remove most of the decorations in the living room and dining room to allow for space to congregate.

Just what we needed
We needed a place with multiple bedrooms for family weekend at IU and this home provided us with everything we needed. It was a quick 20 minute drive to campus plus we had space for our family and dog and a great view of Lake Lemon. If you are looking for something fancy, this may not be your answer, but if you need space for extra people, a pet, and enjoy lake life, this may be for you.

Little Slice of Lake Heaven
Overall property exceeded our expectations. Photos don’t do it justice as the back lawn and beach area were much more accessible and fun filled then we thought it would be! There was a boat but we had been drinking so we didn’t take it out but I didn’t see that mentioned in the description. Overall a great time.

It is what it is
This house is what it says it is. The pictures and description are not misleading. It's an old, lived in lake house. My family and i had a great time. If you are the "camping" or "outdoorsy" type this house is probably your vibe. We showed up on Friday and had no power until Sunday morning due to terrible storms in the area. The signal is...not great in the area, but when the power is on, there is wifi. There are a bunch of water toys. We loved the kayaks that we were able to take back into the channels on Lake Lemon. There was also a great foam water mat that was awesome in the lake after a long day of hiking in the nearby national parks. Despite not having power (which we were accommodated for), we had a great time. And Sura, the owner, came down and said hi and told us about the area. She handled the situation amazingly and I would definitely come back.

Beach home
The location is beautiful, we had a good time, however, there were some issues. There is a large leak in the kitchen, looks like a major plumbing concern, water coming through the floor. The owner came right away and did try to resolve the issue, but it does need some attention. The cleanliness could be better. We appreciate that the character of the house is genuine and organic, however, it might need a little help. The biggest issue was that we couldn’t find one smoke detector in this two story home. THAT is a big concern.

Not clean
The house was quaint and would’ve been nice of it were clean. Spider webs in the sink(along with the spider). Hair in the bathtub and the toilet was dirty. The hand soap as well as the dish soap bottles have been repeatedly refilled with a different soap to the point that the soap was discolored and the labels were coming off. We did love the big plate glass window overlooking the lake and nice deck. I understand how difficult it is to keep a rental clean,having cleaned them ourselves, but cleanliness is vital in a business like this. Also be aware that there is no dryer in the house if you want to do any laundry. Having paid so much for a three day stay, we were disappointed and left a day early.

Beautiful lakefront experience
Beautiful lakefront stay. We absolutely loved the kayaks. Close enough to Bloomington for trips in without much fuss. The house itself could use some cleaning. There was quite a bit in the way of cobwebs and dust, particularly upstairs. Do note that there is a single bathroom which we were aware of. If you think if the property in terms of a lake house stay for nature, you’ll be happy. If you are looking for hotel quality cleanliness and upscale ambiance, you likely will be disappointed. We got what we wanted which was some lovely lake time and proximity to Btown!

If you're looking for relaxation, nature, and great views, this is the place to go! Family and pet friendly, and a local eatery within walking distance - can't beat that. If you're looking for concierge-level amenities, save both you and the host the hassle. Be prepared for the drive- 20-25 minutes to Nashville and worth the disconnect from civilization.

Very pleasant lakefront home
Much to enjoy on the lake with provided boats/life jackets for children, toys, swing, large yard with croquet set. One page did say hot tub, but it was not filled/available, so should probably be taken off of ad. Home full of fun pictures, messages. Although there were games once there, a lot of the games were scattered among the shelves with many missing pieces. (Not cared for.) My sister actually took everything out and organized what was there to make a few games playable. She did not have time to organize the Monopoly game, but it looked like all the pieces were there. She left the unusable pieces in the back porch on the hot tub and had to throw some things away (broken boxes, pieces, etc.). But fortunately, we had brought many puzzles and games and toys, AND there was a wonderful chest of giant Legos and other toys for the young ones, so we are not complaining! Beds very comfortable. We managed with one big bathroom with plenty of linens provided. We could have used a large frying pan, but managed. Excellent weekend adventure for the whole family. Recommended.

Great little getaway
The owner of this house is a grandmother who still uses the property for her own family gatherings and parties. This was comforting to know going in, and indeed, staying here felt like you were staying at a place with personality and uniqueness. Handwritten notes encourage you to recycle. A vegetable garden bursting with cherry tomatoes and peppers grows in the backyard. A wooden swingset and a jungle gym sit near the water’s edge. If you have kids and if you appreciate a simple getaway, stay here. Our kids, ages 6 and 2, loved it. The living room contains low-tech toys that were a delightful change from the norm, such as a rocking horse and a chest full of building blocks. Two plastic slides and a plastic teeter-totter join the swingset and jungle gym in the backyard. There’s a croquet set and a shed full of water floaties and kayaks. We adults loved it, too. The guest house offers cheerful yellow siding, a sloping yard to the lake, a towering maple tree, a fire pit, a small pebble beach with easy access to the lake (you’ll want to wear water shoes while swimming; the bottom is rocky) and a covered double swing near the water. In the front of the house, a grape vine winds around the porch railing. The house had everything we needed in terms of towels, kitchen accessories and other household items. The wi-fi signal was strong and accessible. Some reviewers have complained about no working dryer and the appearance of cobwebs outside, but for us, this added to the simple charm of the place. While nearby properties boasted ridiculously large mansions with zero vegetation and zero personality, we felt like we were truly staying at a lake cottage. The owner took the time to call us on a rainy day and suggest a nearby children’s museum to attend. She was available to answer other questions we had, as well. This was a wonderful experience and we plan to come back next year.
