This house was built in 1888 but was completely remodeled in 2016 to update all the amenities and to revive the beautiful historical details. This house is situated on 75 acres of woods and farm ground near Lake Shafer in Buffalo, IN. It is approximately 10 miles North of Indiana Beach. It is secluded enough for a much needed get away but located close enough to enjoy all the activities the area has. This house is great for families and for a couples get away. The parking area is large enough for several vehicles as well as a boat trailer. There are several boat launches close by for boating on Lake Shafer or Lake Freeman. If you don't have a boat of your own, there are rental places in the area that rent boats and wave runners.

The house is approximately 1700 sq ft and has 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with central A/C. The master bedroom is on the 1st floor and has a queen size bed. The first bedroom upstairs doubles as a TV room, but has a twin size trundle bed that sleeps two. The second bedroom upstairs has a king size bed and the third upstairs bedroom has two twin sized beds. There is also a separate laundry room and office area on the first floor. The kitchen and bathroom are fully furnished with items to get your stay started. We would recommend bringing additional items for longer stays. All linens are provided. This house also has an enclosed front porch great for relaxing.

The majority of the original part of the house still has the original hardwood floors that have been refinished as well as the original wood doors, trim and stairway. This house was built before building codes and sophisticated tools. The original stairway is made of wood and could be considered steep for some. The three upstairs bedrooms are all connected however each have their own door that can be shut for privacy. If you love charm and authenticity, this house is perfect.

Outside you will find a gas grill and a fire pit that is great for making memories around. The property also has a creek that runs through it creating a wonderful habitat for many deer and wild turkey (no hunting or ATV's allowed on this property). The property is great for taking walks, riding your bike and seeing nature.

    Annual family getaway. Everyone had a great time. Enjoyed the farm house. There was room for all of us. Visited the area too, Buffalo, Monticello, and spent a day at Prophetstown State Park.

    Very clean and nicely appointed house. For those with older folks staying-the stairs were steep and the railing wobbled. I didn't understand that all three bedrooms were connected upstairs so less privacy than expected.

    This was our second time renting this peaceful, beautiful, renovated farmhouse. The house is so spacious, nicely decorated, filled with charm, and has everything you will need for a relaxing stay. Michelle is very responsive, but we really had no issues during our visit. We hope to return in the future!

    We were traveling to visit family. The house is in a great location! We were surprised at the house , it has some details that on are not on the listing. The 2 bedrooms upstairs are conjoined rooms and the stairs are so steep that it’s dangerous for older folks and children. We did enjoy our stay despite the mice we had running around our kitchen leaving droppings everywhere….

    Property was generally as described, peaceful & a good place to get away from all the craziness of life. The firepit was very large with ample space for a great bonfire. Overall, we would recommend this rental to anyone looking to relax.

    House itself was nice and clean however the upstairs was a bit hot and the linen in the downstairs bedroom smelled old n mildew like and the location was a bit further out in the country then I liked but the listing did say secluded so I guess I should’ve expected that. Overall though it was a nice spacious house with nice appliances and really nice plush towels.
