Captain’s Shore: Lake level

KyleRating, 5 stars1 month ago

This place was amazing. I travel for work and tend to do the Airbnb over hotels. The price for what u get was fair. Actually a little low compared to others. Jessica was responsive and addressed any concerns I had.(Not many) very friendly people. Neighbors are amazing and helpful. Plenty of parking. Right on the lake. Beautiful. Lil mom and papa’s restaurants right down the road. Walmart probably 7 mins away. Definitely recommend.

The view from a wooden deck features a serene lake bordered by lush greenery. Tall trees provide shade, while a private dock extends into the water. Small boats can be seen cruising by in the distance, suggesting a peaceful and inviting outdoor setting.

Mellow Yellow on Shafer

StevenRating, 5 stars8 months ago

We had a wonderful time at Mellow Yellow! The home was clean, spacious. The kitchen had everything that you could need, and the home was exactly how it was described! Marie was very flexible and easy to work with, as well as excellent in her communication. This was one of our favorite locations that we have stayed at through Airbnb. We will absolutely consider coming back again as we plan our next trip!

A spacious deck area features a circular table surrounded by four chairs. A ceiling fan hangs above, providing a cool breeze. Multiple trees can be seen in the background, contributing to a natural outdoor atmosphere.

Riverfront home with access to Lake Freeman.

MatthewRating, 5 stars6 months ago

The location is right next to the river and in a private, peaceful location. The home was very clean on the inside. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast each morning. The outdoor covered patio was nice. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. If I ever were in the area again, I would definitely stay here. Thanks!

3 Bedroom River Retreat with lake access

JacquelineRating, 5 stars6 months ago

We were very pleased staying at Scott's house in Monticello. We were there for a wedding and plenty of space for our family of 5. The fall colors and leaves are beautiful this time of year. We did not get to spend as much time outside watching the water as we wanted to, but we can plan to go back again!

The Main Lake House

JeremyRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Great place on the lake. Brought our family of 5 and rotated a friend or two throughout the week. Brought our boat and 2 jet skis and the hosts were very helpful with ideas to keep them safely docked out on the water. Lots of space at the house for everyone to hang out together or in pockets. Plenty of room in the garage for all of our gear too. Hope to come back every year.

Cozy Cove Cottage

CatherineRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Cozy Cove Cottage was super cute & cozy. Beautiful views of the lake with steps going down to the water. Kitchen had everything you might need for cooking including some pantry staples. Beds were comfortable. Large outside deck with plenty of seating. Steps going down to the house from the parking space is well lit but was tricky carrying our luggage.

A spacious deck overlooks the tranquil water, flanked by trees. Comfortable seating is provided, with wooden furnishings arranged to encourage relaxation while enjoying the views. Sunlight filters through the leaves, creating a serene atmosphere ideal for gatherings.

Great room w private bathroom close to Purdue

ColleenRating, 5 stars6 months ago

Alejandra's place is an amazing value, especially given I booked the room with a private bathroom and it's is so close to campus and lots of restaurants. The hosts were very responsive and professional - they definitely treat hosting like the business that it is. I also think they do a great job managing expectations so you understand beforehand that the apartment complex where the rental is located is very much in need of repair. Overall, a great stay!

A modern great room features a white sectional sofa adorned with red cushions. A vibrant area rug in front complements the light wood flooring. A sleek black shelf displays decorative items, while a dining table with white chairs is positioned in the background.

Tranquil Lake Cottage

LaurenRating, 5 stars8 months ago

Amy is a fantastic host and her home is amazing and VERY CLEAN! She’s thought of every detail. All of the outdoor spaces are beautiful with plenty of seating. We loved having multiple decks to hangout on. Most of the beds were very comfortable (the bunk beds are good for kids but not great for adults). The pullout in the living room was surprisingly comfortable! The layout of the house is lovely, inviting, and the kitchen is huge with a large island. Definitely recommend booking if you’re looking for a relaxing stay.

A cabin with a combination of light blue and brick exterior stands near the water. A screened porch is visible on the side, and the lawn is surrounded by neatly trimmed grass and shrubs. The tranquil lake and outdoor seating area are seen in the background.
