About this house rental
This beautiful physically challenged accessible home is located on a private lake and offers amazing views surrounded by a mature forest. A new chair lift was installed last season to provide ease of access to the lakefront. This peaceful setting is a birdwatcher's dream. All of your senses are filled with joy upon entering this home. We want to share hospitality with strangers and meet some great people along the way. Hospitality begins with inspiration, preparation, and presentation. With loving detail, we wish to provide a generosity of spirit, characterized by kindness and warm courtesy. This home is perfect for a multi-generational family retreat for up to 16 people. The home is furnished with high-end materials, green appliances in, and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems with LED lighting. We have taken great care to use allergy-safe building materials with no off-gassing. The home is ADA friendly with a ramp to enter the home, multiple thresholds, and an elevator to transport a person to the deck below. Handicapped persons will have access to decks and two screened-in porches as well as complete kitchen access and a dedicated handicapped bathroom as well as access to the game room. We have meticulously renovated and enlarged the home with countless amenities. We have installed a gold-standard security system that includes six outdoor cameras and nine wireless smoke detectors. A Gourmet kitchen and custom-made maple tables provide ample seating for all. The laundry room has a pair of stackable LG washer and dryers. We have a game room with Ping-Pong, Foosball, and Air Hockey, a Magnetic dartboard, a custom-made table for poker, and an art studio. Other offerings include books, magazines, multiple board games, DVDs, three smart TVs, two additional HD TVs with cable and Wi-Fi, a Blu-ray player, a computer desk, printer and paper, landline with five phones that include free long-distance calling in the US and Canada. The entire home has room-darkening shades except for the Palladium Window. We provide paper products, coffee, tea, towels, spices, cleaning supplies, bedding, and allergy-safe pillows. Great for hiking and biking under the beautiful trees. We have a fire pit up the hill near the game room outbuilding. There are two screened-end porches, a game room, multiple decks, and a cement waterfront patio. We are located 45 minutes south of downtown Indianapolis, 500 yards from Brown County, and an hour and a half away from Louisville, Ky. We are 30 minutes from Brown County State Park and 25 minutes from Columbus, Indiana considered by Conde Nast Traveler to be one of the best cities for architecture lovers. We are 45 minutes from Indiana University Bloomington. We are located minutes away from Hoosier Horse Park and Premium Outlet Mall in Edinburg, Apple Works, the world-famous Marc Adams School of Woodworking, and the Blue River Canoe Livery. We have a home next door and will be happy to help our guests during their stay.

Perfect Lake Getaway! This lake home is absolutely beautiful — high-end yet warm and inviting. The fall colors of the trees around the lake were stunning – postcard-like views. We spent hours watching the leaves drift down and relaxing by the cozy fireplace in the evenings. The kitchen is a dream for anyone who loves to cook — fully outfitted with everything you could need, plus a fantastic wine and coffee bar that made mornings and evenings even better.You can tell the owners put real care into every detail. We didn’t want to leave and are already planning our next visit!

My family and I had a very enjoyable time here. The views from the kitchen and living room really showcased the lake and the beautiful fall foliage. The highlight for my children was the game room which included some heated ping pong battles. The highlight for my wife and I was being able to relax on the dock.

The host Donna is wonderful, great communication and super nice. We love that the house is equipped with accessible features as my dad is not mobile. Beautiful setting, perfect place to stay in Brown County. Can't wait to visit again!

In full disclosure, I did not thoroughly read the contract as I assumed it would be similar to the many other VRBO rentals I have used in the past. This was my error.
The owner required copies of driver’s licenses of all adults who were staying at the home, which felt intrusive and possibly discriminatory.
I had also assumed (incorrectly) that the owner would communicate with me via email and then leave me instructions in the home. However, this owner met me at the house and gave me a 20 minute tour while the other guests had to wait outside. She pointed out many details of the house, how much time and effort she put into the building and design of the house and reviewed some of the rules. I figured though this wasn’t what I was used to the information would be useful.
Then she told me she would be staying next-door (50 feet away) for the entire length of our visit. This set us off on the wrong foot as my family felt like we were being watched and monitored the entire time. She asked to take a photo of my family even though I repeatedly declined. She also approached me when I was sunbathing in my bikini and asked to take my photo several times which I was not comfortable with. Several times when we went down the stairs to the dock the owner would yell out corrections to us or make suggestions. Some of these were helpful and some of them were pointing out that we were breaking the rules of the detailed contract. For example, the kids were fishing on the wrong side of the dock. That was definitely our error.
The home and setting is beautiful, but because of the incredibly restrictive details of the contract and the hovering presence of the owner I would not rent this house again. For example, I failed to read that we were not allowed to have friends visit during the day. I invited friends over for lunch which I now know was against the contract. The owner ran out and yelled at my friends and asked who they were. When they said they were my friends she said they were trespassing and they would have to leave by 5 o’clock. The owner then took a photo of my friend’s license plate and sent it to VRBO.
I went back and re-read the reviews of this home. They are all five star. However, in each response by the owner it is very clear that the owners of the rental enjoy mingling and socializing with the guests of the home. This was not what I expected and not
