Lakefront Family-Friendly "Islander" Home w/Dock! Breathtaking Open Water Views!

Located on one the most beautiful islands of Indian Lake, this property is a perfect vacation spot for those wanting to relax and enjoy an escape from the everyday. This lakefront home is perfectly situated on the northwest corner of Seminole Island, providing an excellent open water view of the lake. During the day, guests will be able to enjoy a fun and relaxing swimming and fishing experience as the home is located away from heavy boat traffic. In the evenings, spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed from the property's shoreline. After the sunset, possible activities include relaxing around the firepit, eating toasted marshmallows, and gazing at the stars!

Recently updated with complete bathroom and kitchen remodel (completed 2024), along with new exterior finish and interior flooring (completed 2024), this home includes a dramatic lake room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Indian Lake, as well as a complete kitchen. Sleeping accommodations consist of 3 bedrooms and a sleeper sofa, plus 1 1/2 baths. This home can accommodate 8 guests.

Loved the place

Wonderful experience at Virgil's Cabin. The cottage is right on the lake with its own boat dock and concrete sitting area. It was clean, convenient, and reasonably priced and located in a quiet and peaceful location on Seminole Island. Look forward to coming back here in the future.

Love the cotton candy sunsets

This is our 4th time staying at this cottage and our 7th year staying at Indian Lake. We love this cottage because we are able to bring our goldendoodle with us. Large enough for our family of 5 plus the pup. We rent a pontoon from Spend a day Marina, fish, boat, tube and kayak on the lake. Love evenings at the dock with a fire and the cotton candy sunset views from the dock. Thank you to the Ferbus family for hosting us year after year.

A Great Spot on the Lake

My family and I were very happy with our accommodations at Virgil’s lake house. While the cottage seems small, the living space (kitchen, family room and 4 seasons room were open and spacious. In addition, with the 3 bedrooms and pull out couch we were able to sleep 8 comfortably when needed. The property was very well maintained and everything was clean and in good working order. We love being on Seminole Island and the lake view and sunsets were excellent. We had a great time and would love to come back again. The owners were very nice and accommodating too!

Perfect Place

Virgil’s Cottage on Seminole Island was just the perfect place for our May Getaway. Right on the lake, gorgeous sunsets and a beautiful view. The Saugeye catch was an added bonus. We really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and all of the amenities. The hosts are very responsive and we met one of them in person right before checkout to chat a bit.

Loving the Lake

Great location, clean, neat and comfortable. Had everything we needed and expected. Would have easily worked well for 2 couples, but would have to share shower. Walkable neighborhood and to Cranberry Resort, easy drives elsewhere. Not sure if swimming off the dock is ever great, but nice to have the option, and would work well for kayaks. Overall very happy and relaxing weekend.

I don’t even know where to start. The house was very clean, beds were comfortable, lots of outdoor seating and amazing views. We spent the entire weekend swimming, jet skiing, boating and grilling out. Thank you Mark, Gus and Archer for being great hosts.

Perfect stay

The house was the perfect size for our family of 5. We loved the fact that it was pet friendly and we could bring our dog. The house is very clean. Having a dock made boating very easy. The only negative is the kitchen doesn't have a dishwasher. Otherwise everything was great. Will definitely stay here again
