Charming Cottage on Lake Shafer-optional Pontoon! Screened gazebo and swim deck!

We made a lot of memories at this home and by exploring nearby areas. The host

Wonderful experience. Fantastic hosts; very attentive and great communication. They thought of everything we could possibly want or need and more. The house was modern and beautifully decorated. Wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!

Beautiful house and tastefully decorated.

Communication with the homeowner was excellent! She really cares about the experience the renter is having rather than just the income generated from the rental. She set the stage for a really enjoyable time with a basket of goodies and cucumber flavored and other water in the fridge made available. She really helped us have a very nice time.

Pet friendly, owner/ operator were very helpful and fast acting. It was an overall great experience

This was an amazing trip. I took my three children, 15, 14 and 5, and my sister. There was something for us all to do.The communication with the host was very easy and always a quick response. The view was amazing from the back deck of the house along with the view from the deck on the water.I would absolutely book this home again.

The house was super cute, everything was bright and very modern. The host definitely made us feel welcome with fresh cucumber water, smores basket, snacks & cold water in the fridge upon arrival. There was a stash of games and puzzles provided that we enjoyed playing at the table on the deck under the lighted gazebo at night. The pontoon boat was perfect. Easily accessible and we had a great time tubing and cruising the lake. The host was very attentive and easy to contact with any questions. I would definitely recommend the hobbit house for a stay on the lake!

Perfect spot. Great hosts.Highly recommend. Would give 6 stars if able.

Could not have asked for better. This is a clean and comfortable home on the lake. We felt like family. Couldn’t have ask for better. Thank you Kelly and Ryan. We will see you again next year.

We stayed 7 days. We enjoyed swimming off the dock. Grilling out and family time. Sunsets on the lake. Boat rides around the lake and Wave-runner rentals. Kelly is a wonderful host!

Nice property. Very well appointed and decorated. Snacks and water were provided. Needs some hooks in the downstairs bathroom for towels.

I would give 100 stars if i could! House was amazing! From the smores kits for the kids to having everyrhing we needed and more! We highly recommend renting the pontoon with a captain, he was amazing. Kids got to tube and go to sandbar while adults got to relax and chat with him. Cant wait to go back!

We had a wonderful stay! We had everything we needed and then some — Kelly went out of her way to make sure of it! From complimentary bath supplies to a s’mores kit, cucumber water and snacks — we felt very spoiled. Kelly even drove down to bring us more wine glasses! We barely moved from our perch on the back porch for 3 days. The shady pergola and breezes off the water made it completely comfortable even though the feels-like temp was in the 90s. Don’t hesitate to rent this cottage.

We had a great time. The house had everything we needed and more. They even went and got bait for us to fish. The rooms and beds were comfy and the porch and dock were peaceful. The family loved the pontoon boat and were ready for dinner and bed as soon as we got home. Just what we needed!

We had the absolute best holiday weekend! This was our first BIG holiday family vacation, and it could not have been any better. The house was great, it was clean, cute and perfect size for all of us! Kelly the host was amazing at communicating with us for anything we needed or had issues with figuring out! Quick to respond if needed, we were well takin care of. The house has almost anything and everything you need. We had made so many family memories from boating in their beautiful pontoon boat, roasting marshmallows over the fire pit, to playing countless games of Uno! We over all had the best time. Also shout out to Ryan he was so helpful, and answered any questions we had! Over all I would highly recommend staying in the Hobbit House!

Our 3 night stay was just perfect. The Host was so accommodating and the attention to detail was phenomenal. The visit started with a welcome for our fur-baby, Buddy, which stole my heart right away. We were greeted with refreshing cucumber water and lots of special touches. She attentive and available. (Not that we needed anything because she had thought of it all) The outside deck was supplied with comfortable seating and a beautiful fire pit. The kitchen was very well supplied with anything one would need. A perfect little lake cottage for making wonderful heart warming memories with the family. Thank you, Kelly for being the best host.

House was immaculate. Kelly was proactive in providing more TLC than any VRBO we've ever stayed at. Ryan was super knowledgeable about the lake and gave excellent guidance about what to do in the town. Professionalism across the board.

My husband and I stayed at the Hobbit House for a few days with our dog and had a wonderful time! The house was adorable, clean, and the views of the lake were beautiful. We really appreciated the snacks and personal welcome for the dog! Kelly was quick to respond from start to finish. We chose the boat rental option and had a great time of the water! I would absolutely stay here again and recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice time at the lake!

We enjoyed this VRBO for an extended family trip. The cleanliness of the bedrooms and bathrooms was exceptional. The views from the back deck was relaxing and just what everyone needed. The host was very responsive and provides a lot of extra perks (smores, coffee, soap, laundry detergent) that other VRBO hosts do not. The kitchen is well stocked and had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. We rented the pontoon one day and went to Indiana Beach another day. Both of these excursions were convenient and enjoyed by all.

We had an excellent time at Kelly's property. She was super helpful & responsive while we were planning the trip and went above and beyond while we were there. The house is adorable - perfect condition and absolutely stocked with everything you could imagine. They had amazing bedding and linens, snacks, coffee bar, chargers, speakers, games, bugspray - literally everything you could need they have thought of! Will definitely visit again! The dock and pontoon boat were the perfect addition for our trip! Thank you for a great experience!

Perfect in every way! Will definitely be back.

Wonderful trip. Looking for a peaceful place to relax. It was just what we needed.

We rented for a celebration after Purdue graduation. The 8 of us (parents and young adults) used all the indoor and outdoor space. It was delightful, and I have never experienced a VRBO that was this well appointed. The beds and extra pillow really spoiled us. It had everything we needed and more. Monticello lost power on our first night, and the owner brought more candles and alerted us to the mini-lanterns ... it was like camping! SO FUN! We really appreciated the extra attention, the second fridge, and extra cooler. Our group enjoyed the tiered decks, really comfy furniture and waving to the boat neighbors. We are in good shape for all the steps!Thank you, Kelly and Ryan!

Kelly was an excellent host always providing immediate communication. We appreciated all of the extra amenities provided and the place was spotless. The beds were alos very comfy! We will definitely stay again!

House was immaculate with lots of nice touches like cucumber water in the kitchen, bottled water in the fridge, ingredients for s’mores. Only negative is this is not for anyone over about 6’1”. Kitchen has low ceiling and we cooked dinner every night. Top of my head looks like hamburger.

This place is great! Everything about being on the lake is what you would expect! Beautiful view, tranquil, and just a happy place!! Kelly made everything great with all of her personal touches!! Can’t wait to back!
