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

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.

Indian Lake is located about 1 hour 30 minutes from Dayton, Ohio and 1 hour from Columbus, Ohio.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Perfect Spot
We live in Powell, and my wife and I were looking for a close-to-home getaway while our youngest was away at camp. Love the house and the location! 8 minute walk to Cranberry's, which was awesome...ate almost all our meals there. Spend a Day Marina has reasonable weekly rentals and brand new boats, so having a nice dock at the house was a real plus so we could enjoy the water every day. Mark the property manager was terrific...all in all a great experience...we will be back. Thanks!

A perfect getaway
Our stay at Virgil’s cottage was lovely. The cottage was very clean and as described. It has a perfect Grandpa’s family lake house feel. We were able to dock our boat at the open slip. When we arrived we met one of the owners,Kirk and some of the family at the family house next door. The view and sunsets were lovely. Very relaxing to sit on the patio and read while the kids played in the water. We brought our own paddle boards and the kids enjoyed the calm water around the cottage. We would definitely stay again.

Anniversary Vacation
My family had an Anniversary Party for my parents. Ages from 0-85. Everyone had a wonderful time . The grandchildren fished and kayaked. We sat around the fire pit in the evening. So tranquil. Kitchen was stocked with all the pots and pans you would need. The solid bank of windows Looking out onto the lake was the show stopper. We enjoyed watching the pontoon boats going by. Kirk was very kind and helpful to make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely rent again .

A little slice of heaven
Virgil’s Cottage is truly a little slice of heaven. The waterfront location is wonderful, the 3 bedroom/1.5 bath cottage is just the right size and is well-equipped, and the beds and furniture are comfortable. The boat slip was perfect for tethering our kayak and paddle board and we were in or on the water every day. Some of us had to do remote work during our stay but we didn’t mind - the lake room table has a spectacular water view compared to working in an office. The owners are lovely and responded quickly to any queries we had. We’ve already booked our time for next summer. We found the ‘right’ place for us, and are looking forward to spending many more summers at Virgil’s Cottage.

Great location and beautiful view
Great location and beautiful view. The sliding doors all along the back of the house allowed for great views from inside. The wood was provided for the fire pit and the gas grill was nice. We used the dock for a rented boat. The beds in the two queen bedrooms were very comfortable. We were glad that there was a washer/dryer. Only surprise was the room listed as two twin beds is actually bunk beds not suitable for adults because of how low the top bunk is (can't sit up on bottom bunk). One sofa in the living room was a sleeper but not real comfortable.
