What a great place. Perfect for a small family that wants to vacation in Monticello. The place itself is very nice, but i especially like it's location right outside the edge of town, and right on the lake. Close to Indiana beach and anything you need in town, yet with a country feel to it - cornfields and meadows just North of the property. This was our second time here, and we really like the place.

The Cozy Cottage was a perfect place to stay for a short getaway to find some peace, quiet, and rest, which I needed very much. Everything was meticulously clean, well organized, and decorated tastefully. The hosts were so kind and helpful, making me feel very welcomed and safe since I was visiting on my own. I highly recommend this property.
The three seasons porch was my favorite place during my stay. So comfortable!
I woke before sunrise to a beautiful lake experience from the lovely dock/deck. So quiet and beautiful!

Enjoyable July 4th

The cabin was super cute and had everything we could possibly need! The hosts thought of everything. Cabin was very nicely decorated. We were there for the Fourth of July and could see fireworks all around us as we sat on the deck over the river.We would definitely recommend this rental.

Cozy is right

We booked "Cozy Cottage" for the 5 days over the 4th of July holiday. We had stayed here before and wanted to return. The accommodations were great, the view of the river fabulous and the deck actually sits on the river. 100% great.

Great Home

We were pleasantly surprised to find such a nice place to stay while visiting family at Shafer Lake. We have been coming to this area for the past 10+ years for a family reunion and struggle to find a good place to stay. The home was clean and had every amenity you could want during a stay. The Host was extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be staying here for future visits.
