We had an amazing stay! Mike our host really made sure it was a home away from home! Everything you could possibly need and then some is there! There were so many different games, movies, books and things to do that kept 8 kids entertained the whole time. We had such a great time i made sure to book for next year before we left.

Great property

This property was simply amazing… great location, easy to find, and very accurate to the pics if not better! We went with a family of 10 and had everything we could possibly need! Grill, tons of beds and linens, plenty of bathrooms and kitchen supplies! We fished. Had a fire. And just hung out! Used the projector to watch the Kentucky Derby! Was very pleased with our stay and would love to come back when it’s warmer!

4th of July to remember

We had the best time! The house has everything you could possibly need. We had family and friends come by during our week long stay! It was the best! We didn’t utilize the outside theater but next time we will! The house was clean and well stocked. Being right on the lake and having access to a boat dock was perfect! We spent our days and most of the evening boating. If we could give more then 5 stars we would!

Enjoyable 3rd visit

Great location, lots of space, and friendly owner. The previous times we visited, a few household things were't working, but we had fun. This last visit, the carpet areas were dirty, bathroom floor in lake bedroom wasn't clean, and bedroom next to garage smelled of cigarette smoke. The love seat recliner is broken on the left side, and the king size bed caves in on the side next to the door. It's a great place, just needs some updated furniture and a deep cleaning.

Another great time at Mike's Place!

This has become our go-to for an annual summer trip. Like hanging out at the cool Uncle's place. Has everything you need on site. Swim off the dock, lounge in the yard or by the sea-wall, relax around the firepit and watch the water. Close to everything; Indiana Beach, boat rentals, real grocery stores, even Wally-mart. Margeritas while kicked back in a float chair anyone? Blenders in the kitchen waiting on you! Want a burger? Grills just outside the door. Kids getting restless during a rain storm? Fire up the theatre room! Great all round stays every time!

Family vacation

The house had lots of places to sleep. One bathroom super small another bathroom was a little bigger than the 3rd bathroom was much better. The kitchen very small and everything out dated. The whole house really needs an update. When we first got there the house smelled like cat pee but that did go away. The outside had lots of room for everyone. Wonderful views and great dock to jump off and dock a boat. Fire pit was great. Overall it was great. Lots of books and board games and plenty of Towles.

Great, hospitable, family lake house.

The perfect lake stay. The boat ramp and boat lift on site made for a super easy boating experience. The house is decorated in a relaxed style which is very user friendly. You can tell the owners have enjoyed their many years here and want you to sample their place. Dock for the kids to swim off of and also fish. The river is very clean and you can even see down into it three or four feet. I can not say enough about Indiana Beach's amusement park. It's like a step back in time to the old school parks. You can even take your boat from the property down to the park and dock there. I wanted to schedule next summers stay but they were pretty much all booked up. We will be staying here summer 2025. Thanks for the memories Mike

Family Lake Vacation with Boating/Skiing

This property worked well with our family group of 10. We had 5 adults; 4 teens and 1 10-year-old. 3 bedrooms for the adults; the media room with flexible futons for the teen girls; and another room with futons for the 2 guys (1 teen and 1 10-yr-old). We set up a folding table in the open kitchen for more dining space. The 3 bathrooms were great with plenty of towels for daily showers and plenty of hot water! Outdoor space was great with 2 docks, boat ramp, fire pit and much more. My husband's grandparents had a cottage on Lake Shafer when he was growing up and this place helped us create the same kind of memory-making opportunity in 2024 that my hubby had when he was a kid. We spent 1 day at Indiana Beach Amusement Park and would highly recommend! The host was very attentive and was quick to respond to questions. It was a great stay... and we would seriously consider a return visit!

Family vacation

We had a great time at Mike’s place. We have a large family and had plenty of room for everyone. It was a very relaxing place, just sitting by the water and fishing. If you like shade, there is a yard with trees and lots of spaces for parking. Mike was a great host and helped us set up an outdoor movie, which was fun. If you have a boat, you will love the set up. We didn’t have a boat, but we still had a blast. One day at the amusement park, which is one of my favorite places in the world, another day we drive about half an hour to France Park, which was a wonderful state park with waterfalls, hiking, fishing and swimming. They have scuba diving, too. The taco place down the road that is on the water has amazing food! We went there twice, The kids liked floating and swimming off the pier and playing euchre on the picnic table. The house is like visiting grandparents at the lake when I was a kid. It’s homey and not so “perfect” that you are afraid to live in it.

The house was very nice and clean. It is well stocked for all kinds of situations. I had a family gathering and this home was wonderful. I thought I had enough life jackets for all but I was one short and there just happen to be an extra in the ski room. The kids and adults enjoyed jumping off the dock into the water. The fire pit was great to get everyone calmed down so they could watch a movie and go to bed. The only thing we did not get to try was making some popcorn so hopefully next time.
