    This home is beautiful, clean, well stocked for large groups and has an awesome view of the lake! Hosts were quick to respond to any questions and had simple instructions posted around home which was very helpful! It is just minutes away from Indiana Beach too! Highly recommend them for large groups of 10-15 guests :)

    The property and home were delightful.Our family of 13 had a great time. Host was very gracious when we had some.annoyance from an erratic smoke alarm.and a.dishwasher that would not start - neither of which probed to be a major problem.

    Hosts have set up an incredible place that is perfect for a family getaway. The proximity to Indiana Beach and other great activities (boating, fishing kayaking) make this a real gem. Definitely would recommend to anyone

    We rented The Piper House for a long weekend for a graduation from Purdue. The house was everything it displayed and more. Warm inviting and comfortable for a large family. Everything was very clean and well equipped for your stay. The best part of our stay was the owner!! Our trip had some unforeseen issues caused by mother nature and the owner was terrific in trying to help resolve the issues we encountered with grace and understand even though what we were experiencing was of no fault to the property or themselves. We will rent this house again if we are in the area for an extended period.

    From the moment I booked I received nothing but exceptional service from Heidi! Once we arrived I noticed the small details. The noise machines in each room, which put the teenager and young children to sleep with ease, the extra blankets for the extra breeze on the cool nights down the never ended supply of hot water and pressure. That’s amazing considering 14 people needed to shower! If Disney World had an parallel universe, it would be this!

    This is our third time staying at this property and we already booked a weekend for next year. Heidi's house is great for 3 families, each with their own restroom and bedrooms to accommodate multiple kids. We swam in the lake, and hot tub - walked to the amusement park, it was great! The swing set is really for younger kids - so just keep that in mind, but it didn't matter to us because there was so many other things to do!

There werec12 of us and plenty of room,two screened in porches and the Hugh hot tub were a big hit.

    The Piper house was absolutely wonderful! Everything is as pictured. The location is perfect for walking to and from the Indiana Beach Amusement Park. Communication was excellent with very thorough instructions and prompt responses. No issues whatsoever. We are already booked for next year!

    First of all I want to say that the owner was excellent in communicating everything. There were amenities broken and she had them replaced immediately which was very nice. The house itself is very nice - but I would not say it is NEW anymore - like a broken towel bar in the bathroom and sinks that don't drain and worn furniture. But it is a nice house. I did not care for the location. With the pictures of the backyard I thought this was in a wooded area - but it is not. It is next to a lot of single campground type cabins that are in the process of being renovated/built and an empty lot where it looks like something burned down but was left. The area might be going through some changes but it appears to be mostly owned by someone building campground type cabins. It is a short walk to the park but it is the back entrance you are entering.

    This place was great. It’s literally 5 minutes walking to Indiana Beach. The property has direct access to the lake and has many great amenities. It’s very likely the best place to stay in all of Monticello. Book now!

    This is our third year at Piper House and our family loves staying here. It’s located across from the boat rental, so super easy to get a day of boating in. The house is laid out perfectly for our kids and their families. Having two kitchens, laundry on-site and one large dining space is essential for our growing family. The owners are responsive and have been fantastic to work with before, during and after our stay. We are booked for next year, and we look forward to being back at Piper House! ?
