Cute and clean
It was exactly as pictured. It was quiet and clean and appeared to have all the comforts of home. We were visiting Purdue(30-40 minute drive away) for family weekend so we did not spend a lot of time here but we enjoyed breakfast on the deck overlooking the water. Host was friendly and very responsive to our questions. We would recommend and stay again.

OLD friends annual reunion
Loved the patio, but not the murky canal. Thought we would have better view of lake. Thanks Caleb for patience with thermostat. Found everything we needed except working wine bottle opener.

Perfect for Friends Get-Away
This was a wonderful place for our group of 3 to have a quiet friends get-away. The home was very clean. The bedrooms were comfortable. The living room area was cozy. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs. We especially enjoyed spending time together on the back deck. The hosts were quickly responsive to our questions. We'd definitely return in the future!

Comfortable and Relaxing
We had a comfortable and relaxing stay at this lakeside cottage. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you need like coffee, sugar and spices. We enjoyed grilling out and eating on their back deck. Beds were comfortable. Had a lovely walk in their neighborhood to view Lake Freeman/Tippecanoe River. It is close to amusement park. Hosts are super kind and responsive.

great stay
Very nice, clean property. Great area. We unfortunately did not have much time at the property due to visiting family in the area-we felt it was a wonderful oasis after a long day at Indiana Beach- the very cool air conditioning was a big plus during the recent humid hot weather. Would stay again.

Great Place
This is our second time staying here. Very clean and comfortable home. Great location close to Lake Freeman and Tall Timbers where we dock our boat. Shawn is a great host. Very responsive, and easy to work with. We lost our dog a few weeks before our trip to cancer. We had planned to bring her on this trip. She was with us the first time we stayed here and she loved the house. Shawn was so sympathetic and it meant alot to us during this difficult time. We will be back again. Thank you so much for everything.

Quiet and cozy
We had a group of six at this cottage gor 2 nights. We were all pleased with the cottage! It was clean and well stocked with pretty much any household items or amenities you could ask for. The beds were comfortable and even though it's a small cottage, all six of us stayed very comfortably and never felt cramped. The deck is fantastic. The grill works but isn't the greatest, but the seating and the fireplace make it a great place to hang out near the water. Dock is great for fishing but a smaller step down would make kayaking right from their property much easier. There is also a loose step on the deck which needs attention. I'm sure the property owners will have fixed it before anyone even reads this review. It's nice and quiet in the evening. All electricity and plumbing worked great. Things in the home are a little dated. I only mention this because it seems to matter to some people. If you're looking for a brand new luxury stay, this isn't it. But if you're looking for a cozy comfortable and adorable place to relax, you've found it. We all enjoyed our stay and before we even left our friends and family were thinking about the next trip! We will happily stay here again in the future.
