This is a welcoming place for kids and dogs. We took our 3 grandsons who spent most of their time in the water, swimming and kayaking. At the end of the day we made s'mores in the fire pit and the boys had baths in the jetted tub. We watched a beautiful sunset from the wraparound deck. A fun, comfortable weekend.

Quiet and quaint - Loves dogs!
We were looking for a last minute spot to get away from the city for the 4th of july weekend. The Lemon Lift cottage was perfect for a few nights. The upper deck was perfect for watching the fireworks and the dogs loved swimming off the dock. The house itself was old and has seen some days, but it's all you need for a weekend. Bring Off and yard fogger. The ticks were pretty bad.Check in was easy and the host was so sweet. She came by to welcome us and make sure we had eveything we need. The rental comes with use of a kayak and there's a charcoal grill on the lower patio.

Sisters Weekend
My sister lives in Illinois and I live in Ohio, so we met in Indiana. We loved the porch, all of the windows overlooking the lake, and the overall brightness of the house. We weren’t interested in shopping, wineries or nightlife, so can’t speak to those things in the area but it was a perfect place to hang out and catch up. Very relaxing!

Just okay
Location is great. The yard was covered in hickory nuts making it hard to walk. Plus, my car was damaged from the falling nuts, nowhere else to park but under the tree. The kitchen only had small sauce pans, and one small skillet-Had to go to town to buy a pot to cook dinner for my family. Only one roll of toilet paper for three days days

Best Friends Weekend
My best friend from high school and I stayed the weekend and it was great! The owner popped in on Saturday and we had a wonderful chat She was very welcoming to me, my friend and my dog. Check in and check out were both easy-peasy. Lakefront location was excellent and accommodations were cozy, homey and super inviting. Would definitely rent again!

Came with my hubby and dog. The view is beautiful. My family lives nearby and we were doing a burial ceremony for my father who passed a year ago. It was the perfect place to gather and grill while the kids swam and kayaked. Would definitely stay again

My family stayed here for the weekend and loved it. Much better than we expected because I didn't realize there was outdoor furniture. The upper deck was beautiful in the morning. We spent our time swimming and floating. The firepit was nice also. We will definitely return. Thank you, Sura, for making us feel welcome!!

A beautiful corner lake house on Lake Lemon
I booked a last minute stay at the lake house to spend the weekend with family when I was back home visiting. It was a fabulous decision - a secluded slice of Lake Lemon. We loved our stay and plan to return as many times as possible.
It was 20 minutes from downtown Nashville/Brown County, great location & lots of back roads. The majority of our time was spent outside on the the wrap around deck with rocking chairs that looks out onto the lake with a dock. The lower deck has kayaks, a hammock, & seating with plenty of opportunities to spend quality time. If you need a pet-friendly or family friendly getaway I absolutely recommend this place. My dogs loved running around the yard & hanging out with us in the cabin.
Sura was extremely nice and accommodating. I did lock myself out by accident & she was more than kind and helpful. I would add the GPS was trying to take me down the road it took me some time to find the house because it's technically on Shore Club Drive so at first it was a little hard to find but once I did, I didn't want to leave. Thank you, Sura!

Just so so
First I knew from pictures it was a bit outdated but we thought no big deal . We felt the few glasses that were there didn’t seem to be very clean, so we just washed before use, but we were sitting on patio enjoying our selves and what do you know the owner popped in and her first comments were wow been here several times and you all haven’t been here . And I was like ok but why was she checking in made small talk for a bit just thought it was a bit off I have never had the owner just pop in on us , if your planning on cooking at all might want to take a large skillet for cooking pots and pans are far and few to cook for 4 ,for she was nice about the tray that slipped out of microwave on me and shattered she didn’t charge . For the price I felt it was a bit overpriced for it could use a lot of tlc we all felt like we paid so we could dock our boat
