Lake Front Home close to Nashville IN, Bloomington IN and Indiana University

If you’re looking for a nice old fashioned home on the lake , this is the one! The host was very friendly and nice. Perfect location for great fishing and relaxation. I will definitely book again.

This is a great place to make memories with your kids and fur babies. If you are looking for fancy, this isn't it, if you want true lake front vibes this is the best place to make that happen.

Eccentric, warm welcoming, great for families

Love the location

Great stay with easy access to the water! The house had everything we needed for our stay. We even enjoyed the toys for our small children and the playground equipment out back! It is was a great week for our family.

Well let me start with arrival, as stated its a older home which i agree with. We have no problem with that but an older home can be clean. My wife cleaned the outside furniture where we sat, the porch where ping-pong table is,she swept the ceiling which was covered in spider webs and dust. The inside the floors were clean, the walls where stuff is hanging has dust on them,old stuffed animals and pictures. The dishes in cabnets we found spider webs. We washed everything before we used them. We slept downstairs which was ok, but the ceiling fan was covered in old black dust. The ceiling had dust balls on it(we didn't clean it because we didn't want dust all over the bed) and the windows could not be looked out for the grime on them. The bathroom has older mickey mouse wall paper that is falling down, found someone else's hair on the towels (i found two long brown hairs on them) we used only two towels and wash cloths to take three showers, due to the others looked ol and dinge. We basically stayed in only three rooms. The outside, horse manu was laying in flower beds, weeds everywhere, the kayaks were in a cage with stuff laying on them and chipmunk nest in them.(I text owner if i should bring our before trip,owner said had one nice kayak and others were older) I had to dig through paddles to peace two paddles together, all broken. Said screw it when chipmunk came out of kayaks. We contacted VRBO our first night with pictures of everything i typed here. Vrbo contacted

Nice lots of fun fishing lake camp fire and very relaxing

All was perfect

I will start by saying it is lakefront with a beautiful view. That is where the positives end. The property is rustic at best- parts of it are literally falling down and it is surrounded by discarded and decaying objects. We thought it was abandoned and had the wrong address. Inside there is peeling wallpaper, an unsecured granite countertop and open electrical receptacles. The owner, while nice, cleans herself and should charge a cleaning fee to deep clean it before anyone ever stays there. There are dusty Knick knacks everywhere (stuffed animals, chinz) and loads of bugs & cobwebs. The towels were all stained. Old soap bars were in the shower and old food was in the liner less garbage. I had to hose it out because the smell was awful. If I had another alternative we would have left. I wish I had photos- no one would believe how incredibly filthy and ill kept it was.

This house definitely comes with a love for family and the environment. Little notes from the owner and signs - the hippie ones are my favorite - to enjoy your stay whilst also giving nod to Mother Earth.The house is super clean and your backyard is the lake which is amazing. The house is not modern, the linens are fresh and clean but remnants of another time and so is all the decor... So if you're looking for upgraded this, and fancy that, this is not your place. The photos are exactly what you can expect so look closely. If you're looking for a cozy spot - amazing views and lake front, you'll love it. We kayaked, fished off the dock, swam in the lake... it was great. Town is about 15-20 min away - easy drive to/from. A/C worked great! Plenty of space for sleeping, resting, game room, dining room table, etc. And not a single bug was inside the house. AND DON'T BE SCARED OR SWIPE THE SPIDER WEBS OUTSIDE. They are natures miracle and as scary as they might look - they are wonderous at capturing allllllllll the night critters that fly at night (mosquitos, gnats, etc.)

We had a lot of fun! The dock and little beach were wonderful!

We loved being able to walk right out to the lake to fish, swim, and kayak. It is a gem location!

This property has a ton of potential but no care is taken for guests. The house was dated and we knew this from reading reviews but the cleanliness was horrible. Shame on us because there was some mentioning this but , wow . The normal bugs in a lake house is exceptable but when we saw roaches this was our breaking point of dealing with this rental. We are a family of six and can tolerate a lot but this was the first time ever that our whole family was happy to go home from a vacation , kids actually wanted to leave early. We dealt with it because we really didn’t have a choice. This was one of the most disappointing vacations we have taken. Also reviews are not my thing and neither is complaining but I just couldn’t let this go. Do not spend your hard earned money here. Maybe spend a few bucks more , I wish I did!

House was not clean, a lot of insects and we found mice poop too. There spider webs , dust,and dog hair in every room . The bathroom and kitchen was not clean perfectly. The house has an amazing view but windows were dirty. The outside of house is dirty too. We didn’t go for cleaning but we had to clean fridge and bathroom before using it. Unfortunately we couldn’t sleep well as we found alive spiders on beds. Having one bathroom for 5 people can be challenging too. Ping pong table is good but again, surrounded by spider webs. Some areas smell fungi. The red Kayak was nice but again everything has spider webs. In general we had to clean everything we used to be sure to do not get sick. If you like clean environment and protect you health, look for something else. The owner is nice but she didn’t refund any cleaning fee and gave excuses and apologies but not enough to make our trip better. We think we will come back one day to Lemon Lake but not there. I have a lot of pictures and videos to proof. Contact me if you need them.

Looking for a bachelor party / house for an away football game. This place was perfect. Didn’t realize there was a bar within walking distance which made it all the more awesome! Ping pong table was a perfect addition too!

Great location and home. No hot tub as listed, not cleaned well, ceiling in kitchen leaked water when it rained. I cleaned everything I touched basically but this house would still be amazing for a low key summer break stay with friends to enjoy the lake.

We didn’t spend much time there do to having a wedding, very roomy and the view is amazing. I want to come back just to sit by the water with a cup of coffee in the morning and wine in evening

First things first-we LOOOOVE this little house. It’s charming and inviting and the absolutely perfect views and location. We had our daughter’s family which included our 9 & 10 year old grandsons with us the first night and they explored and played ping pong for HOURS! The second night we only had our 2 year old grand daughter and she explored and played with all the toys, and on the swing set. She did not want to leave. There were games and tv with several channels and a dvd player with a lot of movies. The AC was great and the beds and pillows were very comfortable (all 3 queen sizes were great) The 4 star rating for cleanliness is because much of it is dated and many of the dishes (washed by previous guests we’re assuming) were dirty and placed randomly in cabinets. We own a cabin and love it, this place feels more like that than a spic n span lake house. We prefer this however one of our guests didn’t stay. Because of it. If you’re wanting fancy, spotless place, this isn’t it. If you’re laid back, want cozy and great views with reasonable prices and walkability to a super cool bar/resturant, this is it! We even watched the IU rowing teams practice! Love it here!!

Very nice spot on the lake. The home has character. It's nice to be able to walk to the Port Hole and it's not a far drive to Bloomington.
